Hello. Hope i may get some help with this issue. I have been trying to activate Adobe CS6 on my windows 11. After research on the community, I was able to sign in using my phone and installed the whole CS6 Suite. However, after inputting my serial number when propmpted, it says that it has been revoked. This isn't the case becausemy adobe online account shows that i have CS6 registered under that serial number, and that there are no active users using it. Please help.

Nobody here can help you. If your serial has been revoked, you’ll need to find a different solution.

you can ask adobe support if the revocation was an error.

I also tried offline activation and it was the same dead end.

Hi @Precious_judge7262 when did you purchase this copy of CS6?

The only reasons a license is outright revoked is 1. Its been found to be pirated/shared (doesnt sound like this is the case) or 2. It was an educational license which all of those were revoked in the past year after 12 years active.

Yours is the 1st message saying education licenses are revoked after 12 years... do you have an Adobe link for that?
