The Adobe Creative Suite 6

[LukeSeymour]

Hello, I have recently updated the OS to the MacCatalina and since doing so I now can no longer access my adobe suite. The Adobe suite I have is the Creative suite 6. I only downloaded the update last night so was very surpirsed. Can someone help me please, thank you.

Creative suite applications will not work on Catalina. Catalina is 64 bit only OS and CS applications have 32 but dependencies. See the following link for more details

You have two choices, either downgrade your OS or subscribe to the new Creative Cloud applications.

Hi Manan, 

Thank you for your advice. How can I downgrade my OS and would subscribing to a new creative cloud include and additonal fee?

LukeSeymour,

Here's the problem. 

    1. Your discontinued software is no longer supported or updated. 

    2. To keep using outdated Creative Suite, you must revert to an older OS, disconnect from the Internet and NEVER upgrade your computer again.  Obviously not ideal for lots of reasons.

Keep Catalina and buy replacement software that's compatible with your new OS.

Beware of fake Adobe reps who may contact you privately offering to sell you software or take control of your computer. It's a scam, run away!
