Let’s be honest: Some software upgrades are necessary, and others are just nice to have. Anyone looking to buy CS6 now will be directed to a new pagewhich states: Until very recently, visiting would allow you buy any CS6 product or even get upgrade pricing if you were a CS5 or CS5.5 license holder. At the time they stated that it would be offered indefinitely but with the rapid pace that operating systems and hardware have changed it was inevitable that the time would come that CS6 would show its age and sales would end. The only way to get around the activation is with keygen for those versions or patch tools that bypass the activation allowing you to use valid software that you probably paid a premium price to get.Back in 2013 when Adobe announced that all new Creative Suite releases would be done under the Creative Cloud banner as subscription only, they threw a bone at those who insisted on “owning” their software by continuing to offer CS6 as a perpetually licensed version.

So even though those versions will run on windows 10 versions there's no way to get then handshake required to activate them even if you have a ligit key.

So even though it's not virus or trojan the antivirus software company's have got on board with the major software providers to flag those apps as PUP's (potentially unwanted program's) and will automatically remove them as if they were a virus or trojan.Īdobe recently retired the CS3 and CS4 servers, again double finger quote here, because those servers where aged. Some malware is just an app that lets you do something the software manufactures don't want you to do. So it can be done that way, but your risking a trojan or virus if you don't get the right keygen. There are keygens out on the internet that will generate a key for CS6 but they are considered malware and most Antivirus's will remove the keygen if found by them.Įven if you have a key for CS6 the first time you launch one of CS6's application an activations screen will eventually pop up requiring you to do a handshake with Adobe servers or do an offline activation providing you a request key that you would enter into the same keygen to get an activation key. Adobe provided a serial for CS2 users because they retired, double finger quote here, the CS2 servers the handled activation.
