Migrating my own PSCS6 from my externak disk

[blogsofwar.me]

Hi, the mac repair shop lost the hard disk with PSCS6 that was in my mojave macbook, which turned out to be unrepairable. Now I have a monterey macbook and inserted the external disk with the mojave backups.  Bridge is now on the dock and works. It occasionaly shows an interrogation point, but works. As for PS CS6, tapping on it says that "the developer of this app needs to update it to work with THIS version of macOS. So I should be able to find a mojave mac, this mac is a bit too recent. There is many articles about not  dowloading  PSCS6, but has anybody tried to migrate PSCS6 from the external disk, and, if they have a mojave, did it work? thanks

CS6 is incompatible with all Macs since Mojave.

New generation macOS is 64-bit only. It can't run legacy 32-bit installers.  Sorry.

Time to get modern software.

Make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements. Most Creative Cloud apps work on these systems, not more than 2 versions back:

• Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 23H2, 22H2; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
• MacOS 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura), 12.7.6 (Monterey).

Maybe there was a misunderstanding. You have to be blind not to know that:

CS6 is incompatible with all Macs since Mojave.

New generation macOS is 64-bit only. It can't run legacy 32-bit installers. Sorry.

If you had read my question, I asked if anybody has ever been successful in migrating their own PSCS6 from the external drive to a mojave.

Thank you

Photoshop can't be "migrated". It has to be installed.

The answer is no, Nancy was explaining that. Its not compatible, and there are other problems such as activation counts. You cannot migrate Adobe apps and cannot install it on your newer computer.

IF you have the original install media and a valid serial number and a supported OS version and unused activations, it should work with a new installation.

FWIW, I expect Adobe to completely cut off CS5.x and CS6 at some point in the near future. That's the direction they are headed.
