Why can't I register my CS6 Design Standard software?

I bought CS6 about 2 years ago for my Mac and registered the software immediately. At the time I was only using Photoshop and Bridge and both of those worked just fine. Recently I've been using Premier and After Effects at school and whenever I try to open these programs on my computer a pop-up from Adobe appears and tells me I have to register the software with a 24-digit product code, which I apparently don't have. I've tried all the codes on the box but I had to throw the original packaging away so all I have to go off of are photos I took of said packaging and nothing is working. Like I said, Photoshop and Bridge work fine still, but they are the only programs out of the entire CS6 Design Standard collection that do. I'm wondering if they won't open because of the new Creative Cloud? I want to use my CS6 that I already paid for, I don't want to go to the cloud yet. How do I resolve this?

Sign in to your Adobe account online and look for the serial number for the CS6 suite you purchased.  That should be the only number you need to provide though I don't know why you need to provide it at all if the Suite has already been activated.
If you continue to have problems you should contact Adobe support using chat and get them to assist you.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Why can't I upgrade from CS5 Design Standard to CS6 Design Standard?

    Hi. I recently purchased an upgrade for the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard from the CS5 version I previously owned. I've downloaded it and now when I try to install it, it's saying I don't have a qualifying product installed already to do it, and it's only giving me CS5.5 or CS6 as options for qualifying products. Can someone from adobe assist me on here? It is nearly impossible to get a hold of the phone support, especially in Canada. And I would need to figure this out in the next 2 weeks so that I could get my full refund if needed.
    THANKS.

    Contact support by web chat.

  • Can I apply the CIB book on Photoshop CC for my Photshop CS6 (design standard)software?

    Will I be able to apply the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a book (CC) to my Photoshop  CS6 Deisgn standard? The CIB for Photoshop CC is on sale. Thanks anyone

    CC and CS6 are similar.  The book will have some new features that CS6 does not, but for basics you could use any book even for CS4.

  • Adobe can not validate the serial number for CS6 Design Standard. What goes wrong?

    After purchasing and downloading and installing the CS6 Design Standard package serial number is requested,. After completing the SN (as sent) I get the following message: "We can not validate this serial CS6 Design Standard". What am I doing wrong

    That entries are blocking the product to reach Adobe servers.
    Move your hosts file to desktop and open it from there.
    Then remove entries like " 127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com " ( There should not be any Adobe related entries )
    Once you have removed, close hosts window.
    The drag the file back to etc folder and replace it with original hosts file.. ( open hosts once again and confirm there are no adobe entries.
    Then try.

  • CS6 Design Standard + students

    I'm a third year student and finally going to buy Adobe CS6 Design Standard software. I wonder if Adobe sells it for student price anymore? The only place where I found this software for a lower price was on Apple's website, but they ship only inside Canada.

    You normally use the same serial number that you are first issued.  If you registered your product when you first installed it then you should be able to find your setial number available thru your Adobe account online.

  • I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

    I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

    Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
    Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation.  They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 you can do so at Download CS6 products.

    1. There is NO support on the weekend. Why not?
    2. What do I have to do, so that the serial number wil be accepted. It can't be, that I bought a programm for severall hundred EUR and then I can't install it.
    Thanks for your help!

    You can contact support via web chat even on weekends - the English one, that is.

  • Why can I no longer see CS6 in creative cloud

    Why can I no longer see CS6 to download in Creative Cloud?

    HI Intro,
    Once you will launch Creative Cloud Desktop you will get the option "Find new apps" and a drop down in front of it.
    On the Drop down menu you need to select "Previous Version".
    Once you do that you will get the option to download the Creative Cloud applications.
    Please check and let me if it works or not.
    Thanks,
    Ratandeep Arora

  • Why can't I access photoshop cs6 on my computer?

    Details: I launch the program and it prompts me to sign into my adobe account. I click "sign in," and then it loads for awhile. It then displays an error message specifying that I am not connected to the internet or that my pc's clock is not properly synched. I reset my internet connection and synched my clock , but to no avail. The same error message is displayed every time. Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hey Pete,
    I'm using Windows 7 and I don't think I have any firewalls. But it has recently come to my attention that before my brother gave me this computer, he installed Clock Stopper to extend free trial programs. It's since been uninstalled, but could that program have messed up my clock permanently?
    Thanks

  • I bought years ago CS6 - Design Standard and an expensive MLP New Upgrade Plan in order to upgrade the software after. Can I upgrade to CC, or I simply lost my money?

    I bought a license to use Creative Suite 6 - Design Standart almost two years ago. In the same ocasion, I bought a MLP New Upgrade Plan, wich were very expensive, but gave me the wright to upgrade my CS6-Design Standart for new versions within two years. I thoght I made good business, buying an Upgrade Plan that allowed me to have further versions of my software for two years without adicional purchase. What happens is that I can't find a way to upgrade my CS6-Design Standard Suite to a CC Suite. Did I simply threw my money away purchasing the MLP New Upgrade Plan, wich never alowwed me to do any upgrade, or is there a way, fairly, to use my Upgrade Plan that is almost expiring to have access to Creative Cloud?

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • No longer can launch a licensed copy of CS6 Design Standard

    After being unable to install the 16.0.3 update to Illustrator either via manually or via software update several days ago, I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling my licensed copy of CS6 Design Standard which I had bought and downloaded from the Adobe Store.  Moments ago, I tried to launch Photoshop.  Instead Adobe Application Manager launched and informed me that I was required to sign in to start my software trial.  Why am I now getting a message to start a software trial when I have installed the software suite and entered the license code Adobe issued me?

    Yes.  Each time that I have installed CS6, I have reached the "Welcome" screen which includes 2 options: License (I have a license code.) and Trial.  I click on the License option and, when the next screen appears, I have entered my license code which has now been verified by Adobe.  The installation proceeds normally but, when I start to work on a project in any of the suite apps, I start getting prompts to sign in again.  I might also point out 2 additional things When I installed CS6 for the first time, I was prompted to enter a license code from a product (CS5.5 in this case) qualifying me for the upgrade version of CS6.  In my latest uninstalls/reinstalls, I have not been prompted for this qualifying license code.  Second, this nightmare began when I, like many others couldn't get the latest update (16.0.3) to Illustrator to install either through software update or by manually downloading the installer.  Some other users found that, by uninstalling/reinstalling Illustrator, the update would install.  I tried this but that didn't work for me and, when I started receiving dialogue boxes that said I could use this trial version for 32000+ days (I kid you not.), I decided to uninstall/reinstall CS6 from the original dmg file downloaded from Adobe.  Earlier today, I contacted Adobe and was issued a case number.  I have reinstalled CS6 using the verified license code so we'll see what happens.
