I have the same problem. I can log in to Adobe account and see the Dreamweaver CS6 purchase and the licence number. But there are no Download function. And the support is impossible to contact althought there is a very clear statement that you could contact them, there's even a headphone-symbol!!! Completely misleading information. The bigger company, the worse help.

Well, I assume they have just abandoned the whole thing - not good. I tried the chat - but I think that wasn't a real person at the time and wasn't very helpful. I think I'll just move over to some open source software - I find this whole business too annoying...

@davidt93231056 ,

 

that's not the same problem. the op has a serial number problem.

 

you have no significant problem (yet). adobe still provides downloads of older software via prodesigntools.com as explained above.

@davidt93231056.

Assuming you have a computer that can support legacy CS6 and a legitimate serial number, you can install with your original installation disks and activate your software.

 

No disks?  Obtain a direct download from Pro Design Tools website (above) but it might not be compatible with your license.   That's the risk you take with unsupported software.

 

NOTE 1:  Legacy CS installers won't work on Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave without terminal workarounds.  See below for more details.

https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/install-creative-suite-mac-os-sierra.html

 

NOTE 2:  Creative Suite will NEVER install on Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey or Ventura++.  If you're using a modern Mac, you need modern software that's compatible with your device.  Or you must revert to an old computer that's compatible with old software.  Your choice.
