How Can I Backup Photoshop CS6 downloaded software to DVD?

I downloaded Photoshop CS6 to my Mac.  How can I create a backup DVD of the software for the future?  I know it can be done, but I want to be sure I have all the parts necessary in case I need to reinstall the software after CS6 is no longer supported. 
Adobe says: 
Important: Back up your downloaded software to offline media, such as a DVD or network drive. With a backup, you have continued access to your software if it is unavailable from Adobe.com.
But...it doesn't tell me how to back it up.  I certainly know how to backup files, but if something is missing and I get a new computer, I'm sunk!  Thanks for your help. 
Does Adobe let us buy a DVD of the program from them if we download?  One of my friends had this option upon purchase, but I did not have the opportunity for some reason...

Thank you, Pat.  I'm fairly good at computers, but I'm not really sure where all the correct files are on my Mac.  I see lots of files, but don't know specifically which ones I need to copy.  The link you gave me seems to be the trial version, but if I put my serial number into it does it convert to the full version? 
In answer to my own question and in the hope I can help someone else...I just called Adobe after an unsuccessful chat session (just more links I had already checked).  They claim that if we originally downloaded CS6, the link to redownload it will be supported in the future.  We just sign into Adobe.com and look up our order.  The download link should be there.  I didn't ask if there will be new camera support.  I would doubt it since this has not been the case in the past.  In the past, I have found that new camera = new version of Photoshop! 
If I understand it correctly, we can also download our "second" available files to an external hard drive (we are allowed to have CS6 on two computers).  Then they can be copied and used to install on another computer.  But if the download link is still available in the future, this seems unnecessary.
When I asked about the possiblity of my 3.5 year old Mac crashing (or being stolen) before deactivating the license on the machine, the reply was to call Adobe and tell them what happened.  They will deactivate the serial number and give you a new one making the old one unusable, of course.
I hope this information is correct and that it helps someone else. 
By the way, if you own CS3-CS6, you can get Photoshop CS6 Cloud for $9.95/month until mid-June (2013).  Sorry, I don't have the link, but I saw it a number of times while searching!  Personally, I don't need another monthly charge and it will go up in a year, but I wanted to let you know it is available.  From what I understand, it is CS6 Extended whether you bought the Standard CS6 or Extended CS6 originally.
Good luck everyone...

  • How can i burn an itunes downloaded movie to dvd?

    I have purchased movies from itunes, downloaded them and can only burn them to data DVD...which is useless in a DVD player.  How can I burn these movies to DVD so that I can view them on a DVD player?

  • How can I redownload Photoshop CS6?

         I purchased photoshop around a year ago and downloaded it digitally on my old computer and since then, I have bought a new computer and have no idea as to how I can get the version I have already purchase downloaded  onto my new computer (I do not have the registration code, but I have signed into adobe under the same screen name)
    . Help?

    On the main adobe web page you can then access your account and see your registration number. Write it down the go to the downloads page and download CS6.
    The main page has been redone, so I am not positive on the steps to access your account any more. But that is where you should find it.

  • How can I stop Photoshop CS6 from unwelding imported 3d models?

    Hello,
            Photoshop has an issue right now in which when I import a 3d object (it doesn't matter which format, I've tried obj and cae) then it will split the object apart into multiple objects along where the borders of the uv map are (aka polyunweld). How do I stop it from doing that?
    Here are images demonstrating what I mean exactly.

    >>There's no point in me detailing my ideas for improvements to the software design when there's not a hope in hell of the ideas ever seeing the light of day<<
    The fact that you have no ideas worth sharing does not really surprise me.
    You say it's a fact that I have no ideas worth sharing. You are damned cheeky to a customer who helps pay your salary, lad. What's your problem? Embarrassed by your inept "investigation" of a reported problem? Anyway, how on earth would you know anything about my ideas or their worth?
    It is not an easy problem to solve for a variety of customers that are your audience.
    What? Not easy to solve? Just don't unweld the polygons! Not unwelding is easier than unwelding, surely
    Photoshop has a very diverse community, what you think is good is not what a Photographer thinks makes sense.
    That sounds ridiculous.
    1. You initially insisted that Photoshop doesn't unweld meshes!
    2. Then, after I provided further evidence, you said you would fix the problem.
    3. Now you seem to be suggesting that the software was programmed to unweld meshes because it's "what a Photographer thinks makes sense".
    It's easy to complain about on a forum, and if it is constructive that is fine but you seem to enjoy just complaining or insulting.
    I complain about things at times. I'm insulting at times. But it's a fact that I'm helpful and constructive most of the time. Oh so sorry for not being the perfect contributor to this forum.
    >> I've been waiting 5 months for one simple bug-fix<< I don't know when this was first reported and it's unfortunate we missed that (oh yeah we are human too)  but we do have mechanism's (Bug reports on feedback.photoshop.com) that reach us directly, some of us patrol the forums but we cannot do that full time and ship a product.
    You're completely mistaken again.
    I wasn't talking about the problem in this thread. (Which you've denied exists, then admitted exists and will be fixed, and then suggested to be a design decision on behalf of photographers.)
    I said "one bug" not "this bug".
    The bug which still isn't fixed after 5 months, despite being acknowledged by Adobe, is one that was introduced by the OS X version of the 13.0.1 update. It makes the 3D rendering almost useless for OS X users and did not exist when customers paid $300 for the 3D rendering.

    I had an HP computer but it broke. I have an iMac now and my questions is if there is a way I can change my product to be able to use it in my new computer. maybe I need to pay a difference or something like that... Help!!! 

    You need to call Adobe and have them transfer your license to a Mac version.  With the current subscription plan, you can use it on either Win or Mac.

    A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)

  • I have downloaded Topaz and Nik filters . How can attach them Photoshop cc 2014

    I have downloaded Topaz and Nik filters . How can attach them Photoshop cc 2014

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.
