There are 100s of posts like this, I called customer care and they say they state the only support they offer is online in the forums. 

Put the serial number in and the requst code in and it states Request Code Invalid. 

I can type the request code by hand and even copying and pasting pulls up the same results. 

Just looking to use the software that was purchased.

To be sure that we all understand the issue here:

 

  • Your company purchased a volume license for CS6 sometime in the 2012/2013 time frame.
  • Your company purchased that volume license from a reseller, not from Adobe.
  • You want to install and activate CS6 on a new computer under the volume license.
  • You are getting a message that the serial number is invalid.

 

Is all that correct?

Pretty much, only thing that may have been glossed over is that it states invalid serial number in the offline activation site, not in the actual software. (Even though we have done offline activation with others earlier in the day) Closed network, actual computer can't go online.

Customer Care are not for enterprise support. Use your enterprise support methods.

I don't think Enterprise support will help, either, since this is for Creative Suite 6 and Adobe no longer provides support for it.

>referred us to these forums

 

Many/Most support staff read from a script... and the script for CS6 says it is no longer supported

 

Sorry... nobody here in a public forum is going to be able to solve your problem... the link about volume license activation that Peru Bob provided is as close to support as you will be able to get

CS6 has not been sold since (as far as I know) 2012

 

If you did not convert your redemption code to a serial number when you first purchased, it MAY be too late now

Why would one convert a serial number to a redemption code? It makes no mention of a redemption code in the software. Also the serial number is a volume license.
