Activating Trial of CS6

Sorry, I know very similar questions have been asked, but I cannot seem to find a response which solves my difficulty.
I am trying to activate CS6 as a trial version.  When I first opened the program I think it asked if I had a product code, or if I was signing up for a trial.  It then took me to a window which said "Sign in Required".  The only option from this screen is "Sign in Now".  When I press "sign in now" I get an error message stating "Please connect to the internet and retry".  The only options available from here are Cancel (obviously gets me no further), retry (which does the same again) or a suggestion that I go to the "getactivated" page to activate my software offline.
When I follow the offline activation option I am taken to a webpage which offers to generate a response code: I need a request code and serial number to use this, however (neither of which I have) and even if I did I do not reach a place in the software which allows me to input a response code.
I have followed the advice on the FAQ pages - my PC does have working internet, I can access secure sites, my hosts file appears to be empty (well, not completely empty - it has information in, but no list, so I am a bit baffled by that) and my GlobalSign Root Certificate is enabled.  And I have no idea what to try next.
Please help.  I was hoping to like this software enough to replace my very antique version of Photoshop 6.0, but if I can't get into it then I won't!
Regards,
RW

  • Tired of activating my photoshop cs6 every day

    Tired of activating my photoshop cs6 every day for the last year and calling, and uninstalling and reinstalling.

    wondered if I could have been sold a trial version. I paid around $700.
    They probably mean a "beta". The resounding answer would be no. That sounds like grasping at straws in the absence of another more likely explanation.
    For the record, Adobe trial versions (meaning they expire 30 days after first launch if no serial number is entered) are identical in every respect to the paid-for version.
    Re: your issue - are you saying that every single time you launch Photoshop CS6, you are faced with the Activation screen?
    Have you installed the 13.0.1.1 updater? May help or it may be irrelevant.

  • Is a free trial of CS6 available?

    Is a free trial of CS6 available?  I am trying to find a way of converting some old Pagemaker 6.5 files to PDF without messing up the images etc.  Thought CS6 might work.
    Thanks for any info.

    You can download the trial versions of CS6 software thru the page linked below.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    It would be easier to help if we actually knew what the problem is.

  • Trial Photoshop CS6 - can I access it as a first-time user?

    I downloaded trial Photoshop CS6 on my iMac as a first-time user, knowing that my serial number for CS1 was out of date (I'm retired and haven't used Photoshop for years). But I can't activate it. Is it not available for first-time users and if not, how can I uninstall it safely? I really want to try it out before I buy the full version, and was unaware that I needed a serial number until the install.

    You don't need a serial number for trielas. if it timed out, something went wrong.
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Uninstall it using the uninstaller that comes with the program.

  • Trial Photoshop CS6

    Hi, I am waiting the delivery of PS CS6 upgrade from CS5 on disc and in the interim I want to download the trial version to get started but I keep getting directed to another page to log on but I am already logged on to my account at Adobe and if I try to log on again  I get this :- The email address provided has either already been verified or did not match an account on file.
    All I can see on Adobe site CC and I have no interest in CC I just want CS6 trial!!
    Where or how can I get to the trial page to download the trial photoshop CS6 please?
    Thank You
    Russ

    Download the trial from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first before you click the download link otherwise the download link will not work.
    Once you launch the trial, enter your serial number to license it.

  • I presently have CS3, I plan to download your free trial for CS6, my question is will this trial download replace CS3 or will it run seperatelyy

    I presently have CS3, I plan to download your free trial on CS6, will it replace my CS3 or will it run separtely until I decide if I want to buy it?

    it will install and run separately.
    in fact, even with purchased products adobe programs of different versions (except some acrobat issues) are compatible.

  • Installed trial Dreamweaver CS6..can't access purchased Dreamweaver CS3

    I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time.  My purchased Dreamweaver CS3 now links to trial CS6 even though the link has not changed.  How do I still use (or ever use again) purchased Dreamweaver CS3?

    I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time.
    This is not recommended. Only open ONE version at a time.  This goes for all the CS6 products.
    You probably just need to point your DW CS3 shortcut back to your CS3 folder.

  • I just began month trial of cs6 & cannot open raw files from nikon 600?

    I just began month trial of cs6 & cannot open raw files from nikon 600?

    Have you updated your Photoshop to get the latest Camera Raw update patch?  If not go to:
    Help >> Updates
    This should get you the necessary updates for your camera assuming it is not "too recent".
    Good luck and post back.

  • Trial of CS6 fails to complete download - gets stuck.

    A few days ago, I tried to download this free trial of CS6, but after awhile, it stopped with about 3 hrs left to go. I tried again today. It started out saying it still had 3 hrs left to go, but failed to progress. I ended it & started over. Now it won't progress - only now it has 5 hours left to go.  Very frustrated.

    I would recommend canceling the update and trying again.  This can happen if a location is choosen to download the install files to which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have access too.  I would recommend choosing the default of your User folder to download the install files.
    Alternately you can initiate a direct download by following the directions listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.
