Hi Ned,

I have a really old version of Photoshop, 6.0.  My computer died a few months back and I'm now using a Dell Laptop, Windows 7.  I'm trying to re-install the CS upgrade I own but it's asking me for an Adobe authorization number.  I've called the phone numbers it directed me to call but they are out of service.  I chatted with one of your tech's who told me to go here to find out about getting the auth #.  Can you help me?  My Serial number is REMOVED

[NEVER POST A SERIAL NUMBER IN A PUBLIC FORUM !!!]
[You have just given your serial number to everyone who read this message before]
[I deleted the number... or people who receive all their forum messages via email]

Thanks for  your time and help.

Photoshop 6.0 is no longer supported by Adobe.

You might want to try the trial version of Photoshop Elements and see if it will suit your needs.

For $10/month you can have the very latest Photoshop CC + Lightroom Classic + LR CC + free upgrades + 20 GB of cloud storage + many other perks.  You can't beat the price.   Photoshop alone is worth more than that.

I can beat the price by using my CS2 which meets all my needs but can't get an authorization code to reinstall it!

CS3 and earlier are COMPLETELY DEAD products
