PS CS6 online activation - is still available ?

Explorer ,
Nov 03, 2022 Nov 03, 2022

Hi

Has anyone installed and activated PS CS6 online recently with no problem?
I am asking because Adobe consultants, in response to my case of the inability to activate PS CS6 online, replied that Adobe ceased support for CS6. The only option was to activate CS6 offline.

I am asking this question to find people who have recently activated CS6 without any problems, which would indicate that this possibility still exists.

 

Regards

Robert

Robert,

You posted your Photoshop CS6 activation issue in 2022. Did you ever get an answer.

Adobe help AI is absolutly no help and I can't find an Adobe phone number to call and get a live person.. This is very poor support.

I own the Photoshop CS6 CD and installed it. The instructions state to go online to activate and get a serial number. 

This does not seem possible now.

Which OS do you have? 

You can't install CS6 on any modern Mac operating systems.

CS6 is 32-bit legacyware. It's not compatible with anything higher than macOS Mojave.

 

CS6 REPLACEMENT OPTIONS:
==============
Photoshop Elements (3 year license, no subscription needed).

Creative Cloud Annual Photography Plan:
- Photoshop CC and Photoshop on iPad
- Camera Raw
- Lightroom on desktop, mobile and the web
- Lightroom Classic
- Portfolio website + hosting

Make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements. Most Creative Cloud apps work on these systems, no more than 2 versions back:

  • Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 24H2, 23H2; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
  • MacOS 15 (Sequoia), 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura).

NOTE: MS is ending Win10 in October. Apple will release macOS 26 (Tahoe) later this year.
