How to re-activate Adobe CS6 apps?
« on: July 28, 2021, 09:53:29 PM »
I am retired graphic designer and mostly do volunteer work now.  I just transferred my work files from an old iMac to a new iMac with OS10.14.6. Spent days trying to figure all this out. I need to continue to use my CS6 apps to access previous design files using Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator on my Mac Book Pro and new iMac. I can't afford to buy the monthly subscription to Creative Cloud and learning all the new updates.

I was able to deactivate all three apps on my MBP, but could only activate Illustrator on my new iMac.
Photoshop only allowed me to do an CS6 Extended option which says it ends in 30 days. Why will it end?
InDesign shows an Adobe Application Manager app and a blank window when I try to activate. No buttons to activate.

How can I get these last two apps working again on my new iMac? I do need to use them asap!

Have you contacted Adobe about this? Look at this DuckDuckGo search page.

After days of trying to reach Adobe, I was able to do that. I have all new CS6 apps and they are working!  :yahoo: See what I did in this post...
