Trying to swap Photoshop CS6 installation to a different computer

I'm attempting to swap Photoshop CS6 from one computer to another. I managed to get the serial number with Belarc, but when I attempted to deactivate the Photoshop CS6 on the 1st computer I am directed to download Adobe Support Advisor which is no longer available.Where do I go from here?

Well it seemed like a simple fix but my coworkers were tired of waiting and purchased a new copy of Photoshop.

Photoshop CS6 installer will not initialize - no log files generated

Hi,
I am trying to reinstall Photoshop CS6 on a new computer I purchased. When I run the installer, the progress bar gets to the end and sits there for several minutes. Then the Adobe Installer windows just closes and no other installation windows open up. I have checked the /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers directory for a log file to see what is happening. But no log file is being generated.
Prior to installation, I ran the Adobe uninstaller as well as ZapIt to remove any old or corrupted CS 6 files.
I am running a 2014 macbook pro, Maverick OS 10.9.5. The machine has plenty of disk space and ram.
I am at my wit's end. Can anybody give me any guidance?

Photonut65 if the installer is failing to initialize then you will want to review the PDApp.log located in your temp directory. You can find more details at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Photoshop CS6 Installation problems!!!!

I am trying to install Photoshop CS6, but the Adobe Installer won't work. Keeps coming up with "Installer failed to initialise".
I am using Mac OS 10.7.3.
I've uninstalled all previous versions of Photoshop......used the cleaner.....etc, etc....
But still nothing!!!
Any ideas????

Please restart the system and try once again. If the problem persists, please let us know the contents of following locations:

Why can't photoshop CS6 installer initialize on my Mac?

Hi everybody,
Just today, I was trying to download Photoshop CS6 trial from Adobe's website.
I downloaded the .dmg file, and mounted it.
In the window that popped up, it contained a blue folder.
I clicked it, and a window containing several files and a red installer popped up.
I clicked the red installer, and an installer launched.
Then, about half way through the initializing, a warning window popped up, saying that "the installer could not initialize".
What's wrong with photoshop?
I've tried this many times, but every time being a failure.
My Mac runs OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.
Thanks.

Trying to update Photoshop CS6 i repeatedly get an "Update Failed" message.

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.

I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now.

I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now. I uninstalled it, but now I can't re-install photoshop...installer just gives me the option to uninstall.
This is my job, so very important .
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 have tried everything and spoke with support (no help) at all.
Anyone have ideas?

Hi ,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
You can try to copy the installer from the CD to desktop and try to launch setup.exe from it.
Also you can go ahead and put the system in clean boot and try to launch installation.
If that doesnt work try to create new admin account and try installing app from it.
In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

I'm trying to install Photoshop CS6

I'm trying to install Photoshop CS6 but the installer says "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.
In the dropdown I have a bunch of photoshop version but not photoshop 6, only photoshop 6 extended witch dosent work.
What should I do?

The message indicates you are trying to install an upgrade version of this software and it is asking you to choose the older qualifying version that you already owned and to enter its serial number... for CS6 this would be CS5.5 or CS5.

Where can I find Photoshop CS6 installer now?

I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 in the past and I have been using it normally, however I just bought a new computer and I would like to install it on this new machine but I cannot find the installer anywhere. I only find the installer for Photoshop CC and if I try to enter my license on that version it won't take it. Could you please provide me a link for Photoshop CS6 installer?

Trying to Install Photoshop CS6 on PC

Hey there, I'm trying to install Photoshop CS6 on my PC. I originally bought it for my Mac laptop and desktop, and now would like to move on over to my more powerful setup, but... alas, I cannot get the product code to work? Is this because I originally ordered a CD for the Mac and not PC? I don't have a disc drive on my PC, so I downloaded Photoshop CS6 directly from this site, so that's no issue. It's just that it won't take the product code on the box I have here. Am I out of luck? (Also worth noting, I had it up and running just fine on my other two setups before, but for whatever reason I guess I never got it linked to my Adobe account, so I tried to punch my code in there too but got a 413 warning, "header is too large".)
Anyway, I'm so confused!
Thanks so much in advance.

The Serial Number is platform specific. So if you bought CS6 for MAC then it will not work on windows machine.

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

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.
