Help activating CS6 Photoshop

I just purchased CS6, I entered my redemption code and was not issued a serial number (it said it wasn't needed). Was told to download Creative Cloud installer.dmg for Mac which I did, it then asked for my serial number. Round robin and getting no where.

The subscription version does not use serial numbers, only your Adobe ID.

Help activating a photoshop cs6 subscription

I started out with a Photoshop cs6 subscription edition almost a year ago and have been re-activating monthly. I just found out while connecting to re-activate for this month that Individual Creative Suite subscription edition products have become single-app memberships in Creative Cloud. I don't have a problem with that. But after reactivating, Photoshop comes up now as a trial version of Photoshop "extended", and is giving me 30 days to start paying for that version, and I don't have a need to do that. Question is, after 30 days is my original Photoshop cs6 going to stop working too, and what do I do to get it back?.....or will the trial version of "extended" just go away?

Cannot find offline activation cs6 photoshop

returns a 404 page not found error......
so what gives?

afaik you have to activate the beta online... not?
that´s what i read. there is no offline activation for the beta.
correct me if im wrong.
Adobe ID login and online activation are required either at installation or within seven days after your first launch of the Photoshop CS6 beta. The same requirements will be in place for the shipping version of Photoshop CS6 when it is released. Your Adobe ID provides multiple benefits, including an easy way to access your serial numbers, the Adobe.com community, and the upcoming Adobe Creative Cloud™ membership.

Help activating older photoshop

I need help. My computer says my configuration changed and I need to activate my photoshop again. I have all my original packaging but its not working and I need to use it asap

If you really do mean the original Photoshop CS (which shipped in 2003) then Adobe decommissioned the CS2 activation server in Dec 2012 so you can no longer activate CS or CS2.
In its place Adobe has provided fresh new downloads of CS2 (for CS and CS2 owners) which do not require activation provided you use the new serial number issued by Adobe.

You must download the new installer and you must use the new serial number provided at that link. Your current serial number will no longer work.

Why do you need to check it if you can't access it? If it is because you need to have it deactivated then contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

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.

No local help files for Photoshop CS6 extended

Hi
I wish to use local help files for Photoshop CS6 but only online support is available. Local files are not listed under the Adobe Help preferences. The option to search only local rather than online help is greyed out. I found and downloaded a PDF with of the help files but don't know where to install it or if this is possible. I have CS 5 Creative Suite and this works fine giving the option of local or online help when accessed.
Is there a way to install and use local help files in photoshop CS6?
Thank you.

Hi and thanks for directing me to that article, it should have done the trick. I am using mac mountain lion 10.8.5.
The help system has always operated oddly - I have Photoshop cs6 but also the cs5 master suite installed. CS5 works fine but Photoshop cs6 only gives the option for online help and then directs me to the CC site. There is no simple listing for just Photoshop help in the help menu - presumably as it is not seeing it installed
I tried various configurations in the article, having to set up the folders they suggested. In my case, in a variety of alternative places as I have a boot up volume with the documents folder moved onto a RAID array so the Shared folder is not in the documents folder but in Users on the boot drive. So - confusing - but tried all the likely candidates and folder configurations/locations while following the instructions as closely as possible. Even tried an documents folder alias to redirect the program to the alternative path way.
At least now I have the PDFs and can look through them outside the adobe interface. The problem with the community site being questions regarding photoshop alone, yield answers for all sort of other issues and programs.
Thanks for your help though, which should have worked, appreciated.

If you didn't have the opportunity to deactivate the installations then you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations for all the serial numbers involved.

Activated CS6 reverting to trial problem for 2 years

I have had this issue for more than 2 years now and still I can't find a solution. Have worked with support on the phone and they were never able to help. All solutions including WMI etc. failed and I can't see where there was ever a fix. So all the money I paid for this software and I have to enter the serial number every time I use any of CS6 Design and Web Premium software. I use Photoshop continuously so most of the time I just keep it turned on. Does anyone at Adobe have a fix for this? I refuse to upgrade until this is resolved for what I have paid for. This has been played out for several months a few years ago on this thread: Activated CS6 reverting to trial. No update or fix except this idiotic fix Adobe put out: 64-bit products convert to trial on launch or prompts for activation after licensing. Please see if there is anything you can do. Looking for new software.

I have had this same problem since June with CS6 Production Premium on win7 64 bit (installed from DVD on Dell XPS15 laptop). As you state, this is a known problem. It has been with "engineering" for over a month, but that doesn't stop front-line support from having customers waste hours going through troubleshooting that won't work ; though to be fair it looks like your troubleshooting was some of the stuff they tried with me most recently and it looks like your experience of using different admin accounts etc has not long term benefit for the affected user (like my experience). See these discussions for more info on this problem:
