Download CS6 Master Collection using Request / Response code - Is Legit?

I purchased a download copy of Adobe CS6 Master Collection and am wondering now if it is legit. It's instructions go like this.
Download from mediafire.com something called "Adobe CS6 Licence PREACTIVATION.rar"
Unpack it and run "Adobe CS6 Licence PREACTIVATION.exe"
Log onto Adobe.com and sign in using the userid [email protected] and the password included in the purchase
Go to Download CS6 products
Download the two files for CS6
Run the smaller of the two files to install the collection
When asked for a serial number enter "1325-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-3266" (obviously the "x"s were numbers)
A dialog appear during the install containing a links saying "Click on Later and Install CS6". Select it
Complete the installation
Start Photoshop
A dialog saying "Having trouble connecting to the Internet" appears. Click on the offline activation "Generate Request Code" link
Take the generated request code and send it to an e-mail address in Turkey.
The e-mail address in Turkey would reply with the response code which I could then enter into Photoshop
Does this seem legit or have I been scammed?
I asked the Turkish user some questions.
Can this be installed on two computer which I think is common for such Adobe products? Answer: No
Assuming the answer was yes, must I use this response code method for each installation? Answer: Yes
Can CS6 be moved to a new computer in the future? Answer: Must use response code method
After a successful activation using the response code, Belarc Advisor listed a different serial number. Can I use that number and bypass the response code stuff? Answer: No
Thank you, Brian

Hi Ned, your answer is correct. I finally connected with Adobe support and they confirmed that the version sold to me is a beta copy and not a valid product. I think that I'll go have some e-words with the seller and their craigslist ad marked as fraudulent.
Brian but not

  • Download CS6 Master Collection but getting error 109

    I'm trying to download CS6 Master Collection or CS6 Premiere Pro, but both come up with a 109 error when I don't have any local storage or network issues.  I'm using Firefox 16 as my browser.

    I previously downloaded CS6 Master Collection and selected Illustrator and Photoshop. Now I need to add InDesign. I called a while back and someone helped me download almost everything, I think. I just need help with the next phase. They said something about deleting my existing Master Collection and reinstalling it? HELP! Is there a phone number I can call?

    you shouldn't need to uninstall anything (and do not delete any files).
    just run the master collection installer and tick/select the programs you want to install.

  • Downloading CS6 Master Collection

    Hi,
    I am planning to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection (CS6MC) onto a Parallels 9 Windows 8.1 x64 virtual enviroment. This will be the second install of CS6MC. This first is on a Windows 8.1 desktop computer. As far as I have read, I can install CS6MC onto two computers.
    However, before I do this I have a few questions I hope someon can help me with.
    Firstly, could someone just confirm that I can install this CS6MC onto 2 computers.
    Secondly if I download a CS6MC from Adobe, will all (or most) updates released to date be included with this downloaded version, or will I have to download all the updates once I have installed the package? I still have the DVD of CS6MC, and if the version I will download is the same as the one I have on the DVD, I may as well istall from the DVD.
    Lastly, how will changing the hardware (CPU, Graphics card, etc)  on my desktop computer affect my install count of Adobe CS6MC. How would I be able to sort out any activation issues casued by these hardware upgrades?
    I thany you in advance for any help that cna be provided
    Thanks.

    1. yes, you can install and activate on two computers concurrently.  both should not be used at any one time and both to be used by you.
    2. no, i don't think the updates will be rolled into the latest download but i'm not sure about that.
    3. changing your graphics card won't change your install count but changing your hd or cpu will.  you can always contact adobe support to reset your activation count if you're unable to deactivate yourself, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

  • Having trouble downloading CS6 Master Collection Download.

    It seems that everything is fine until the download is complete.  Once file 1 of 2 is 6.2GB (File name MasterCollection_CS6_LS16 (1).7z) is downloaded I click to run and it says "to open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it...". The second download, 2 of 2, downloads fine and when i double click to run, a notice pops up asking if I want to run this file. I click run, and get error reading "The file archive part of Adobe CS6 Master Collection is missing. you need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS6 Master Collection. Please Download parts."

    I placed both files into an "ADOBE" folder which I put on my desktop.
    File 1:
         Type: 7z File
         Size: 6,504,448 KB
    File 2:
         Type: Application
         Size: 1,031 KB
              (when I hover over the file name some addition information pops up - "file description: adobe extractor, Company: adobe systems incorporated, File Version: 1.0.2.1, Date Created: 8/15/2014, Size: 1MB")
    When I click the application file (not seeing exe anywhere) I still get "The file archive part of Adobe CS6 Master Collection is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS6 Master Collecton. Please download all parts."
