You can take a new Creative Cloud subscription. Consider volume licensing.

I agree with the previous posts--CS6 is very out of date and can be problematic on newer OS's.

Use extreme caution when buying online--90% is most likely a scam, however, I did sell legit software once on eBay. (The steps I had to go through to prove I was the proper owner was too much trouble to make it worthwhile.)

Software that was used to upgrade to a newer version cannot be sold, however, since CS6 was the last perpetual version, it is likely the users moved on to the Cloud. Also, software purchased through an education license cannot be sold either.

That said, here is the info you need to read and follow:

Transfer an Adobe product license

I certainly understand the allure of the perpetual license and I think if people decide to use obsolete software that is up to them.

But those people have no right to complain if the program stops working after they upgrade the OS, the hardware etc.

So should you decide against the advice you have received and purchase a license to an obsolete Photoshop version make sure you are able to roll back any and all future software and hardware updates in case they prove disastrous for that Photoshop version.

Hi,

I would advise you to subscribe to the current Adobe CC version of Photoshop.

You have a number of different options in regards to customising the programs you select. So you only need Photoshop and lightroom then you can select just that program.

Also your are able to have access to program updates as soon as they are available.
