Activate legacy CS6 Standard Suite on new Mac

[simran_4978]

Hi, i have replaced my old Mac with a new one after it failed completely to boot up. I have my original 32-bit CS6 Standard Adobe Suite disc which i installed on my new 32-bit Macbook Pro 2013 computer with 32-bit High Sierra OS on it, but cant activate the CS6 online or off-line, and it says i have 7 days to validate it. Please help as it was working fine on my old computer with same specs, thanks?

CS6 is dead and the acivation server are down.

I think this conspiracy theory 😉 has been disproved - and as long as the activation limit hasn't been reached - it's possible to activate?

InDesign CS6 for Mac did come in a (mostly) 64-bit version. 

I was able to activate my CS6 through my Creative Cloud subscription, but your mileage may vary.

PS: Unless there was a typo, I'm assuming you mean a "new to me" Mac? The OS is what is 32-bit, not the computer itself. You can upgrade that computer to Big Sur and install the 64-bit version of InDesign.
