no i haven’t tried that- i was just in a shouting match with adobe because the program i paid $600 for no longer works because they shut down their servers for CS6 and lower so now i can’t deactivate in order to reactivate on another machine- went round and round with them - only to have the3m tell me ‘Nope- you have to buy the subscription if you want to continue using photoshop” basically-

So I’m screwed out of my photoshop because i had it installed on 2 old machines that i don’t have anymore, and i can’t reinstall it on new machine- as they only allow 2 installs -

"Nope- you have to buy the subscription"

ANY software that you purchase, should be yours (not to copy or redistribute, of course), the way it USED to be.
This subscription crap should be a CAPITOL Crime!

I avoid any of that...



There are cracks out there for CS6, if you run into the issue you are having.

You know.. there may be another way to install..
Install the TRIAL version (for whichever version you have), then disconnect from the insteret. Install whilke totally away from the internet.
I think I had to do that a couple of times for some reason (both MS and Adobe).
