How to download Photoshop CS6 For Windows

[SylviaMay]

My boss purchased Photoshop CS6 For Windows for me in April of 2018. I installed it on my laptop but find if difficult to use with that small screen and keyboard. I finally purchased a new desktop with bigger screens and want to move  Photoshop to this computer.  Where can I find the CS6 Download?

I still have my  license key. 

Thank you

Why did your boss purchase such outdated software? 

And where? Adobe did not sell perpetual licenses in 2018 anymore. 

And are you sure it would even run on your OS (see link)?

If it was a genuine purchase from Adobe then you would be able to go to your account and the download link should be there.  However the last licenses for CS6 were sold by Adobe on 9 January 2017.

Beware site purporting to offer download links - there are many hacked versions complete with malware out there.

Since the regular version sale of CS6 ended in 2013, if it was sold in 2018, it is an illegal version.

Theoretically I think a transfer of a perpetual license might still be possible, but it would probably have to be registered with Adobe.

CS6 was on sale directly from Adobe right up to January 2017, in parallel with the CC subscription.
