This is not possible and at this point all activation for CS6 is being phased out. Short of signing up for CC you have no options if you want to stick with Adobe.

In addition to what others have said, this was possible in the past only for the current version. Once a new version was released, you could only switch for that version, not for earlier versions. I switched in CS3 for $5. CS6 is an older version and exchanges are not available for it.

When Creative Cloud came out in 2013 with the subscription plans, it was no longer necessary to have a Mac or Windows version. Since then, you can still activate on two computers, but they can be the same platform or one Mac and one PC.

Your only viable choice now if you want to continue using Photoshop is to subscribe. There is a Photography plan (annual) with 20 gb storage, payable at $9.99 per month or in a lump sum. There is a 7-day free trial that rolls into a subscription if you forget to cancel. Scroll down to find the correct plan.

Or you can try Photoshop Elements 2023 (perpetual license). It has a 30-day trial. The link to the trial is near the bottom.

Thank you forum for your information.

To whom it may concern -> Adobe management.
So, I paid EUR 1.662 (!!) excluding VAT for the CS suite and another app that Adobe stopped supporting 2 months later! And I had a lot of issues with properly using the expensive software.
No, I have NOT had my moneys worth here and I did not get any offer for a refund and switch to the cloud subscriptions.

Expressing my gratitude to Adobe for selling outdated software and rudely phasing out all possibilties. Your customer service and support exceed expectations indeed. My last compliment is for your "contact" button on your website. Well done.

Yes, it was already clear to me that 1/ I paid a hefty amount for a product that became immediately outdated after purchase 2/ I got lously customer support and service and no offer nor incentive (what, how?) nor refund 3/ Adobe thinks it delivered duely to me.

@Studio27926472t8hz you have yet to tell us when you purchased CS6. If you bought this back in 2013, you have gotten years of service out of it. It did not become "outdated" by any means and users are still using it today.

You are complaining about a situation that occurred 10 years ago.

Hi

CS6 is neither supported or sold any longer, so if you purchased it recently you more than likely where sold a pirated copy, the serial number is for the MAC version and cannot be use for the Windows version, also Adobe have stopped the OS licence transfer.
