CS 6 Extended Box Version for Windows as Mac Mini M1 2020 Version possible?

[Udo Lauven]

I bought a Photoshop CS 6 Extended Box version for Windows at the time. Now I am using an Apple Mac Mini M1 2020. Due to my account settings at Adobe, I could download the Windows version. (Last used under WIN 10 Professional) Naive question: Would it be possible to download a Mac version for the M 1? I only see the Windows version. A brief hint would help me.

Plain and simple: No. Old CS versions always were platform specific and you are long past any platform switch options, which back then required to fill out some paperwork. It's a moot point, though. CS6 wouldn't even run on a M1 AFAIK. You really can't avoid getting something new like signing up for CC or buying a competitor's products like Affinity Photo.
