    If your new Mac runs Catalina, as it surely does, give up. You need CC2020 or later to run in Catalina. Apple designed Catalina to block all the old software we knew and loved.

      Windows generally seems to provide much longer/better forward- amd backward-compatibility.

      I am a Mac-user myself, so every now and then I have to say »goodbye« to some piece of software I would actually like to continue using – that’s just the way it is …

      The installers might still be available somewhere

      but the expectation that such long obsolete software should run on the current macOS seems unreasonable to me.

        CS6 will not even install on Catalina.

          Did you buy a PC or Mac Licence and when did you buy it, I was marketed I believe around 2012.  Did you loose the DVD? You will most likely need an old Mac OS to use CS6

            A current iMac can run mojave, apparently, but CS6 wasn't written for movaje. You MIGHT be able to install it.

            "I shoumd be able to use it woithpout paying xtra." I so disagree. If you make something for some, and they pay you, then you do YEARS more work, should they be able to get it without paying extra? New systems need a budget for new apps. It will all happen again in a couple of years with the next generation of "Silicon Macs" which won't run today's apps. This is why subscriptions, where you keep paying for someone to do all this work, are a pretty good plan. 

             

            If you really must run museum apps, run a museum Mac.

            QuietLisa, good evening.Photoshop CS6 is a product whose operation is guaranteed up to 10.9 for CS6, so use in later versions is not guaranteed.Also, the new Mac (macOS 10.15) does not work 100%.This is due to the specification change of macOS.Consider introducing CC.
