I have Illustrator CS6 & I need to migrate it to a new computer but I no longer have the install program. What can I do?
1 Correct answer
Well, I gave up & just migrated all my programs from my old computer. I was only trying to do that because I didn't want to import the bugs. But I had issues with all the Adobe programs functioning. After migrating everything, I had to enter the serial number for Illustrator CS6, but not for Lightroom or for my CS5 suite, which I thought was odd. Everything seems to function. Thank you all who tried to help!

Thanks! You're fast! I'll see if I can make that work. I have the serial number for CS6 Illustrator (not the whole suite).

Just download the Illustrator installer and you should be good to go, just remember to download all the required files, 2 for the MAC or 3 for Windows

inkfountain,
Here is an alternative (maybe) download page:
Download Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications
Remember updating:

Help! I downloaded it as per the instructions, both files, but when I go to open the installer, I get the warning:
"We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
There is no longer any such thing as Adobe Support Advisor. What can I do?

inkfountain,
It often/usually happens that such a migration leaves you with non functioning or only partially functioning applications.
There may be issues hidden in some corners, and it may be a while before you encounter them (and only if you happen to go into those corners).
But hopefully, yours is a lucky migration.
