How do I transfer purchased PSCS6 onto a new Laptop ?

[Fintan]

I purchased Adobe Photo Shop CS6 Extended and downloaded onto my Imac in 2012. My Imac has died and I have purchased a MacBook Pro and wish to download the software onto this machine. How do I go about doing this and reactivating the software ?

if you follow all 7 steps (especially steps 1,2 and 3), you can download here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

and activate with your serial number.

if you have a problem (error message, unavailable page or you are offered a current adobe version), you did NOT follow the directions.

the most common problem is failing to meticulously follow directions 1,2 and/or 3 which are needed to add an adobe.com cookie to your computer that allows you to download directly without using the akamai download manager.

again, follow the directions and you'll have no problem.

p.s.  if you've already used two installations/activations and you need an activation reset, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

just copy the downloaded installation files to your laptop (or, download the installation files directly to your laptop).  then install and activate.
