Downloading CS6 Extended

[Vince_B]

I have PS CS6 Extended.  It is registered with Adobe and listed as one of my products.

I deactivated a copy on my old computer and want to install it on my new ultrabook.  I can't find out if it's possible to download it from the Adobe site.  I've looked at responses to similar posts, but the links suggested were for Creating Cloud software.  Is it possible to download from Adobe and, if so, where and how?

Thanks.

If that's not possible, does anyone know if it's possible to download the files from the CD/DVD without installing them?  If so, I have a portable hard drive that I could copy the files to, then read then into my ultrabook.

Adobe has removed ALL public download links for installs and updates

For CS6 back to CS4 you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
-Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
--click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
--and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
--as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
-if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
--if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
--the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
-if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
-if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor

Thank you for your replies.  I was able to contact Adobe support and they provided download links.  My CS6 Extended is now on my ultrabook.  🙂

I have the same issue, and contacted support and they sent me to the forums, stating they no longer offer assistance with older versions of Creative Suite. Do you by chance still have the download link so I can get my cs6 onto my new computer? Thanks

CS4, CS5 and CS6 are on life support. But they can still be activated providing you have the following:
1. original media (disks or downloads) you received at purchase and a way to read them,
2. a legitimate serial number for that version, language and platform (Win/Mac),
3. an older operating system that can support legacy 32-bit apps.

NOTE 1 : Creative Suite installers won't work on macOS Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave without terminal workarounds. See the help article below.

NOTE 2: Creative Suite cannot run on Catalina. Either downgrade your OS, set-up a virtual machine or get all new, 64-bit software. Your choice. https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

NOTE 3: Legacy Creative Suite is discontinued & unsupported. Use at your own risk.
