First let me qualify this by saying this notice went out to Adobe customers in Japan.  I'm not yet sure if this applies to all geographic locations. We're still waiting for confirmation.

About "For customers using the first versions of Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud subscriptions (software older than 10 years): End of login support"

 

Adobe Staff ,
Oct 20, 2022

Always we are indebted.

 

From July 2022, Adobe has been sending emails with the following subjects to some administrators.

 

Subject: "For customers using the first version of Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud subscriptions (software older than 10 years): Notice of end of login support"

 

From October 2022, customers who are using Creative Suite 6 (CS6) or early versions of Creative Cloud subscription software will not be able to log in with a login error during installation or with license authentication when launching the product. This email notifies you that an error may occur.

 

At the time of sending the email, we planned to end login support on October 1, 2022, but as of October 2022, we are reconsidering the schedule.


Login support will end on January 31, 2023.


For detailed information on this matter, we plan to create a separate support page.
For details, please wait for the release of the support page.

 

Regarding this matter, we will inform you by email and on this forum page.

I learned about this today from the news on the net, will the "authentication server" stop working as it does in CS2?

This may not be a problem for professional designers, but isn't it a problem for other users that they will no longer be able to use the buy-out license?

 

ps.I'm not good at English, so I'm using machine translation, so sorry if my English is wrong.

@Nancy OShea 

Hi Nancy!
I checked the Japanese community today.

"Notice: We are postponing the deadline for the end of login support on 1/31/2023. The date will be announced later here on the forum and by email." It was stated as follows.

Thanks for your update, @K.UME . 

 

We've received confirmation that offline validation was presenting some problems for people.  Adobe are looking into that.
