PS CS6 update not possible

Hi

After offline activation (no online activation possible) PS CS6 cannot be updated. Consultants say Adobe has discontinued support for CS6, so no 13.0 updates are available anymore.

Has anyone recently managed to update PS CS6 to a version higher than 13.0?

 

Regards
Robert

The problem is partialy solved. If you can not update your Ps CS6 v. 13.0 using standard procedure, than go to Adobe ftp, download a proper file with an upgrade and upgrade CS6 from this file. How to do this is explained by Jeff in another topic and by kglad in this topic.I used Jeff's tips because he was the first to pass them on to me in another thread. They differ in that we enter the Adobe ftp server as a guest. Thank you Jeff and thank you kglad for your help.

 

I can't copy the link, but topic is named "Photoshop CS6 looks pixelated on Mac Retina screen"

 

It is interesting that 5 Adobe hotline consultants did not point to this simple method. Everyone said it was no longer possible to upgrade Ps CS6 v. 13.0 to higher versions.

13.0.7 doesn't exist for Mac perpetual licenses.  13.0.6 is the highest available for Mac perpetual.  The Photoshop CS6 Creative Cloud version was patched beyond that up to 13.1.2. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/legacy-version-updates.html

I need version 13.0.7 for Mac. If you claim that this version is available on the Adobe server please provide a working link to this version (or higher). Please also do not write unverified information, that does not help to clarify the matter.

Please take a look here: Download Adobe CS6 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools

There you'll find direct download links for all CS6 application.

I've not tested it yet, but I think all links including the latest available version.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Hi Axel
The thread was set up to determine whether Adobe has stopped accessing the existing CS6 updates, or whether only I am blocked from updating from version 13.0 to a higher one. The link you sent leads to the boxed version of the software, which is 13.0. This version was sent to me by a consultant so that I don't have to use the DVD.
Where to get a version higher than 13.0 (eg 13.0.7) is a matter for another thread. Let's not mix up the topics. Nevertheless, thank you for your interest.

@Robert26515915t4pl,

Sorry but 12 year old CS6 was never Hi-DPI aware, even with updates. 🙄

 

You are not asking for an update, you're looking for a free upgrade to new software.  That will never happen. 

 

New equipment requires new software. You can't have it both ways.  Either revert to old equipment that's compatible with old software.  Or buy new software.  The choice is yours.

 

Have a nice day!

 


On the mac side, the photoshop cs6 13.0.4 update added Retina display support.
