Is it okay to uninstall CS6?

I've been using Photoshop CC happily. However I'm not able to change file type associations to CC: it keeps defaulting to CS6.
Is it safe for me to uninstall CS6? Will I then be able use CC as a file type association?
Thanks.
Joel

Do be aware that if you go to DVD or BluRay you MUST keep Encore CS6 since there is no Encore CC
CS6 is the final Encore http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/faq.html
Also be aware that Encore is NOT supported for Mavericks (see note inside above link) and some people are having problems

I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

Yes, just install as you normally would using the serial number you originally used.
You did not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single user license you are allowed to have two activated installations. So feel free to reinstall it if those are the only two machine you plan to have it on and you'd like to have a backup installation.

Uninstall CS6 applications

As part of the troubleshooting to install Creative Cloud apps, it was suggested by Adobe staff to uninstall CS6 applications, download CC apps, and re-download the CS6 apps. Although hesitant, I tried uninstalling a CS6 app I never use (Dreamweaver). Going to through the Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/uninstall Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 path, I started the uninstall. Adobe Application Manager and then became unresponsive. What is going on with these Adobe products that I can not install CC apps and now I can not uninstall CS6 apps? With all of these issues I am having, I am becoming very discouraged. I love using Adobe products, but this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I am so fearful that if I am able to uninstall the CS6 apps, I will not be able to install CC apps or reinstall CS6 apps given the recent history of problems I have had.
Here is a list of things I have tried thus far. May not be in order since they are from memory and some have been tried multiple times.
Deleted folders/files in /tmp folder
Uninstall Adobe CC apps
Uninstall/Reinstall Adobe Desktop Manager
Run Cleaner tool
Rename suggested folders to old_OOBE and etc
Tried direct downloads of CC apps
Tried download from website, app downloads through manager, stalls at 42%; setup using 100% CPU
Tried terminating Adobe CEF Helper (all 4 of them) during setup, none will terminate.
Verified and repaired disk using disk utility
Verified and repaired permissions using disk utility
Deleted HEX folder containing Adobe CEF Helper files and tried install again. (did this on a whim since I tried just about everything else)
Cleaned up Adobe ID credentials
Tried uninstalling CS6 app (Dreamweaver) to test if I could reinstall CS6 apps. Failed
I have no idea what else I can do. Any ideas, suggestions, step-by-step guides, anything that will help me get CC apps on my MacBook Pro will be greatly appreciated.
Just some additional information. I was able to download/install LightRoom 5 and I did download/install 3 fonts. Sync works fine. Just can not install/uninstall any apps.

Bstouff I would recommend reviewing the installation log files to determine the exact error which is preventing the installation from occurring. You can find details on how to locate and interpret that installation log files at Creative Cloud Help / Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC. The process is the same for both CS6 and CC 2014 Adobe applications. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover.

Uninstall cs6 apps

win 7 prof 64 -- cs 6 apps do not appear in uninstall window; are not removed by cleantool...
Help!

It's a more complicated issue. In spite of two Adobe technicians, multiple "cleaning," my CC continues to act as a trial version. I have Win 7, Prof 64 on two computers, and the latest attempt involved installing windows on a new disk, but the same result: sometimes at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end, an "Adobe Premiere Pro trial" with two buttons, "License This Software" and "Continue Trial." Clicking on one of them, (don't recall which) asks for Adobe ID, etc., after which entered, goes back to premiere. The same thing happens with other CC apps. According to what I could find on the net, a similiar issue occurred with a Mac Operating system, resulting in many exchanges involving Adobe employees. I don't know if it was resolved, but the messages stopped.
If anybody can help, I would be eternally grateful.

Uninstall CS6 to use CC?

Do I need to uninstall CS6 to install the same programs via CC?

No and if you need to work with anyone still on CS6 you should leave it in place and use it for those jobs.

Cannot uninstall cs6 bad hard drive, any suggestions?
THank you

Thank you for the Adobe contact. They connected me to the chat link and the Adobe tech Support rep sent me a License Recovery download link (attached) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/support/tools/LicenseRecovery111.dmg.
I have 10.10.1 Yosemite. When I open the download folder and click on the LicenseRecovery.app it shows up on the dock but it nothing happens. I cannot quit the app only Force Quit. I have restarted the mac and that did't help.
Adobe chat suggested I uninstall CS5.5/6 and re-install but why would that have anything to do with the app opening?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, again.
Thank you

Is it Okay to Uninstall Device Central, Encore, Extension Manager and These Other Programs?

I just installed CS4 of Adobe Premiere Pro because I heard good things about the program and needed something to edit my videos together, but didn't realize it consisted of so many other programs I've never heard of. After installing it, the old computer I'm using now only has less than 200 mb left in the C:/ Drive.
Since I'm only interested in editing videos together, would it be okay to uninstall all the other Adobe programs like Device Central, Encore, Extension Manager, AIR and Color Common Settings. I'm only going to use Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator. But I'm not quite sure if I would lose something vital that will prevent me from using the programs I actually want to use.
Thanks.

I dont think uninstalling mentioned programs will give you much disk space.
The only thing I would uninstall is Encore.
You best option is to get a new disk, because I do not think its going to work properly. You need additional workspace on the C;drive.

How to uninstall CS6 suite when moving to CC

So I downloaded all the CC apps and installed them and now I was to uninstall the CS6 apps to free some space on my HDD.
I had CS6 with creative cloud subscription, and not a disk version, so when I go in the application/utilities/adobe installers folder I don't have a uninstall cs6 icon but only icons to uninstall the software one by one, like uninstall photoshop, or uninstall after effects...
So my question is; has anyone in that situation found out a way to uninstall all the CS6 apps at once instead of doing it one by one.
Thanks.

Hi antoinefromparis,
If the CS6 installed on your machine is a part of subscription and not a part of Suite and has been installed using Application Manager then you will only have the option to uninstall it one by one. We can only uninstall CS6 at once if it has been instaled as a part of suite.

Can't uninstall CS6 (PC)

Hi Folks --
So, a year ago I ordered CS6 InDesign but found it locked up/froze when using a critcal library (1000+ items) I had in CS2 InDesign.
Adobe was kind enough to refund my purchase and I tried to uninstall CS6 without complete success, but I was able to go back to CS2 so I didn't care.
Now, I'm really biting the bullet and regenerating the library. I've deleted CS2 successfully but not CS6. I get this...
...and I've run the Cleaner Tool (several times) but not luck.
Suggestions?
Thanks...Cris

Hi Mylenium. I don't know how to get you the exact config. OS is Windows 7 Home Edition, 64 bit.
I don't think I have install logs as I'm trying to uninstall it and had installed it a year ago. The error shown in the screen shot happens after just a second.

Uninstalled CS6 apps still show in the CC App manager

Uninstalled CS6 apps still show in the CC App manager; how do I remove them?

I uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6 using the Control Panel in Windows 8 but the new CC App manger still shows them as being installed. See picture below.

I had to uninstall CS6 and I am trying to reinstall I have problems

I had to uninstall CS6 and I am trying to reinstall. The software wants a serial number and when I enter the original ID the suftware says it is wrong. What do I need to do?
This all happened as I trialled Creative Cloud. The community said to uninstall and reinstall hence where I am now.

How to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop silently?

Hello,
We have a situation where we have to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop from dozens of computers. I would like to do this silently using Psexec or SCCM. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. We have installed both using a msi file and I have tried command "msiexec.exe /uninstall C:\Temp\Build\indesigncs6.msi /quiet" for indesign but nothing happens. When taking the quiet command away I get an error saying "This feature can only be used to programs that have been installed". The error message has been roughly translated from Finnish so it probalbly isn't excatly the same in English versions. Obviously this computer has Indesign installed.
I have also tried the PDApp.exe, but haven't been able to run that silently either. Command I've tried is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --mode="silent" --mediaSignature="{CFB770D7-8D43-1014-922B-CC2715FADE3F}"
Is there a person who has successfully been able to silently uninstall Adobe Indesign or Photoshop CS6? If there is can you please tell us how to do it?

Thanks for answering. I tried to contact Adobe Support, but could not find out how to do that. I went to the Adobe Contact site and filled in what kind of problem I have and it just suggests that I ask from the community. If I try anything else it just leads me to the beginning.
You are absolutely correct that the CC Cleaner Tool is the way to do this. I have been able to generate cleanup.xml and used it. The problem is that the tool only finds Adobe Photoshop CS6 Driver version 13.0, Adobe Indesign CS6 Application Base Files version 8.0 and Adboe ID Credentials. It deletes these very efficiently and quietly. Problem is that it does not uninstall the whole program. For example all Adobe programs are still in the Start Menu and the Indesign folder is still found where it used to be. Have you any experience on this kind of problem?
Thank you in advance
Regards
Karri

Tech support uninstalled CS6 retail w/o deactivating

I was online chat this morning with tech support (Surita K.) for almost 4 hours in order to install PS CC. It kept refusing to install the 64-bit version without errors, which meant PS CC 64-bit didn't run.
In the process of trying to get PS CC 64-bit to install, the tech support agent (Surita K.) UNinstalled my retail version of CS6 and ran the CC cleanup tool - but she didn't DEACTIVATE CS6 first.
I need to have it deactivated. How do I deactivate an already uninstalled and wiped-clean retail version of CS6? I want to do this in case I decide that PS CC is not for me.
I just tried Chat support, but that guy didn't know what to do.
Thank you!

If you install CS6 it should be activated. You can then deactivate and remove CS6. When you uninstall CS6 without deactivating it your CS6 credentials remain so when you install it again you do not need to Activate it will be Activated.
