CS6 gone from Creative Cloud, i need it

[TC-JD]

I am about to roll out half my users to the creative cloud and wanted to have them all on CS6 because the other half are on the 'disk' version of CS6 already. (want them all on same version).

I have just gone to create a 'Creative Cloud Package' and the applications i need are now are all CC (i need illustrator, photoshop and indesign), is there anywhere on 'the cloud' where i can download CS6 versions because going to the individual products pages doesnt even seem to give me an option of CS6 anymore.

Creating a 'Creative Cloud Package' would be the ideal route too as I'd also prefer to not download all 3 of the applications 11 times.

Yeah, we buried them a bit, sorry. But, go to the specific product pages in Creative Cloud (like this Photoshop page or this Illustrator page), and you'll see a drop down select box (right below the big image) where you can change from CC version to CS6 version. Then you'll be able to download the CS6 version.

It's nice to see someone actually admit this "tactic" used by Adobe to make everything else besides the CC so obscure and hard to find.

Thankyou found/re-found it (the browser i was using on my mac wasnt showing the dropdown).

Now i just hope that i can create a 'CC Package' from what i download.... if application manager lets me

[TC-JD]

If i download this way it uses the application manger and starts to install straight after the download.... i dont want it to do this.

I want to be able to download the applications so i can create a 'package' to install onto the machine/users that will be using cloud.... i dont want to be doing 40-odd downloads.

Try here, Adobe had removed it but now its back.

Brilliant thankyou, fingers crossed i'll be able to create a package that the applications can be activated by cloud accounts

They can still have CS6 application as a part of their download.

on download page www.creative.adobe.com they need to select CS6 application from drop down.

For information on how to install the CS6 version of the software please see Download previous versions of Adobe Creative applications -http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/download-previous-versions-cr eative-applications.html

i was hoping to do 1 download of the 4 applications i need, make a package, then install using the package onto their machines and activate the products/applications via a cloud account.

i dont really want to be doing 40+ downloads

Is it just me, or is there a deliberate blurring of lines here?

It sounds like you're saying that CS6 products can be downloaded and installed from within a cloud subscription only. Now, perhaps that is what the OP wants, I'm not 100% sure (though it didn't sound like it at first --- he may be under the impression that it's the only way to actually dl cs6).

Either way, I suggest you be very, very, clear or you are going to end up dealing with extremely pissed off customers. If I were looking for CS6 and staff suggested, or carelessly made it seem, that I could only get it by first getting a CC subscription, I would make it my life  mission to destroy Adobe (Yeah, that's exaggeration, but I was already being wildly hypothetical anyway --- there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'd ever pony up for anything with Adobe printed on it).

Hi guys,

Can you clarify something for me. I've just purchased the full CC subscription, with access to all the CC Apps. As you've stated, the option is there to also download the CS6 versions of the Apps. Can I install and use the CS6 versions, and the CC version of the Apps at the same time?

Thanks for any feedback.

[TC-JD]

Hi Jon

I have asked around a few people at my work and some DO have both CC and CS6 installed and both work ok.

However, i appears that both CC and CS6 versions of the same App (tested it on Dreamweaver) can be run at exactly the same time, you have to switch between the two.

Hope this helps

[Jon Jordan]

Thanks TC-JD,

That answers my question perfectly. Strange how Adobe don't mention this or make it clear. All it would take is a paragraph of text and everyone would know what their options are.

[Brntoki]

Your initial question isn't very clear. Do you WANT the Creative Cloud? You do not have to get CC to get CS6! You can get CS6 from within the cloud, or separate from it. Don't think you have to get CS6 from a Cloud subscription.

[TC-JD]

Sorry, i knew i'd end up causing confusion (i always do)

What i want is......

to create an install package using the 'Creative Cloud Packager' that i can roll out to my users. They need to have CS6 applications however there is only the option to download CC applications (which i dont want). Is there anywhere/way i can download several CS6 applications ONCE then use cloud accounts to activate them

I hope this clears it up a little.

[Brntoki]

OK. I felt like you just wanted CS6 apps but thought that you could only get them from the "Cloud". If there are other things/reasons you need/want CC, then I see your point and how you're trying to save yourself a headache. I just want you and anyone else to be clear that it isn't necessary to order CC to access CS6 apps.

Otherwise, from what I've read around here on the threads, it seems like what you want isn't going to be doable. From what it sounds like, Adobe has really screwed up their implementation of downloads. I guess they have an abundance of bandwidth to waste.

Hope you find a solution though. Man, it sounds like a real big hassle.

[TC-JD]

this is what i feared.

ADOBE not everyone wants the latest version of Creative Suite (or CC as its now known), having the option of 'old' ones to download on the 'Creative Cloud Packager' would be nice.

oh well, looks like i need to start 44 downloads of CS6!

go to your cc area where you have your cloud files  go to the down load tab  click on program you want to download   there is dropdown box that will let you download previous verson
