I tried to open Photoshop CS6 today but get a dialog box asking me to register for a trial version.

I have been using Photoshop on this PC using windows 8 since late February, and used it as late as yesterday evening without problems.  I have a licensed version of CS6 Extended installed.  I have contacted customer support who confirmed the registration but after 30 minutes of chat informed that they could not provide support via the chat for CS6 and suggested the forum. i have tried opening CS6 both from the desktop shortcut and from within Bridge with the same result.  copy of dialog box shown below.

I did run across something like this a month ago. Photoshop CS6 came up with a window advertising Creative Cloud.
I signed in with my email/password, then if there is a trial window, I click on License this software.
I don't recall, but I think there is a "I have a serial number" option.
There I enter my serial number and PS is back to working normally.
Another way that has been reported:
Sign up to trial. Adobe ID/password
When closing Photoshop, it asked me if I wanted to continue trial or enter my serial number.
Enter your serial number and decline trial, it the reverts my PC version of Photoshop to how it was in the first place.

    When trying to update Photoshop CS6 i repeatedly get an "Update Failed" message.  Whats wrong?  Is it because I alread have Photoshop CC installed?

    Haazk385 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the update you are attempting to apply.  Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to locate and interpret the installation log files.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

    Are you clicking the link on your webmail site (e.g., Hotmail, Yahoo! mail, Gmail) or in an external mail program (e.g. Windows Mail, Thunderbird)?
    If you compare the URL of the link to the URL of the error page, are they the same?

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try the links again. Any improvement?

  • Photoshop 3 I keep getting a dialog box saying the program is not responding

    I keep getting a dialog box saying "Program is not responding" after opening up Photoshop Elements 3.
    I have to shut the program down and start over.

    This isn't actually the Elements forum, which you can find at:
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    You need to tell them what operating system you are using, and what circumstances causes Elements to freeze.  Does restarting the computer make a difference?  How long has this been happening, and can you correlate to something you have done or installed, like fonts or third party plugins?
    Good luck

  • I was trying to open Photoshop CS6, but error 1 popped up. I am using Windows Vista. How do I fix this?

    See title.

    I think you are more likely to get help if you ask in the Photoshop forum; this is the Adobe Reader forum.

  • When clicking on a pdf attachment in my email I would get a dialog box asking whether to save or open file. I inadvertantly clicked Save with the 'Always do this' option checked. How can I reverse this and get the option dialog box back. Win 7 Ultimate

    From Control Panel | Programs & Features: right-click on Windows Essentials 2012, then select Repair all Windows Essentials programs.

    Thanks

    Download the CS6 installer from this link it should install on any machine the meets the specs. Even without a serial it should install as a trial version. If CS6 was activated on your system your CS6 credentials should still be there and when you install it should be activated. Then use CS6 menu Help>Updates to install the updated,  CS6 installs need to be updated.

I made an Adobe ID, but the serial number is not under "My Products" nor have I received an email including a serial number. I do not know how else to find the serial number. Please help!

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

    Hi gerry,
    does this happen for a particular image only, or for all images?
    And does this happen only from your account or also from other user accounts?

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.

  • When I try to open Photoshop CS6 I get "Error Code 16"

    When I try to open Photoshop CS6 I get "Error Code 16"
    I have researched Internet - ADOBE and others - to find a solution, but no luck! (see under)
    The problem started around one year ago but I was able to open Bridge and go to Photoshop from there until recently.
    Now I get "Error Code 16" in Bridge too when I am trying to go to Photoshop.
    I have tried everything I could think of (including creating a new Administrator-user) with help from my Internet research and my own pretty good experience (I started working with computer systems as a Systems Analysts 1968...... - now it is only PCs)
    I miss my Photoshop and Bridge a lot - it is very frustrating to have this problem, but I can see I am not the only one!!!
    I also have these Adobe products:
    Adobe Photoshop
    1045-1297-1724-5553-8938-xxxx
    Adobe InDesign
    1037-1476-0290-3491-8464-xxxx
