Ignore the erroneous message stating:

"If you purchased a CS6 product..."

"You'll need your CS6 serial number to complete the installation."

This is a trial.  No previous purchase is required, and no

existing serial number is required to complete installation.

No Adobe ID or login is required for download.

Here is an alternate, slightly more complicated download location:

Adobe CS6 Trial Downloads: Direct Links

http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

Be sure to read "Note: Very Important Instructions".

(Requires Adobe ID for download)

If you do already own a license for C6, all of these trial downloads

can be authorized online by using your existing serial number(s).

Perfect for backing up your boxed DVDs.

Adobe Creative Suite 6 FAQ

Under: "Trial information"

"Does Adobe have trial versions of Creative Suite 6?"

"We no longer offer trials of the CS6 versions of the applications."

You can ignore the above erroneous statement.

Under: "Upgrade eligibility, pricing, and purchasing options"

"Adobe will continue to make Creative Suite 6 available as a perpetual

software license, and will provide bug fixes and security updates

as necessary. All of the CS6 suite editions and individual products

continue to be available for purchase by Electronic Software Delivery

(ESD) on Adobe.com as well as through select retailers.

Volume licensing for these products is also available

through Adobe Authorized Resellers worldwide."

"We plan to sell Creative Suite 6 for use

on supported platforms indefinitely."

I'm not sure what the problem might be for you.

[Stan Jones]

Not for me. I was not logged in, new agreement when I logged in. Still access denied.

I see they recommend not using IE. Im using IE 10. No time to test at the moment.

I am using Firefox:

.

Try using the alternate 'ProDesign Tools' link.

It is a more complicated process, and requires Adobe ID login,

but it has no mention of avoiding any particular browser.
