Thank you for letting me know that. I am still using Ps CS6 on my desktop tower. I have a dvd/cd drive in it. I used the same program disc on my old pc and later new pc. I deactivated Ps on the old machine before discarding the unit. I also kept the two HDDs and converted them to external archive use. But that is a complete different issue.

Good luck on that. I heard that Adobe shut down their validation servers on old software so you cannot validate old software. You will get to a certain point and you will not be able to go forward in the install. That is just what I heard, I don't use Abomination software.. I mean Adobe software so don't quote me on that.

That's not nice of them!

I've been using Quicken 2007 for years, moved to four computers.
Upon each install it wants to register, on-line, by modem......
Luckily I can say "later" and after maybe half a dozen starts, it gives up asking.

Here is the thread on adobe site, farther down it talks about CS6 as well.

Again. I don't use Adobe so the OP would need to talk to someone who has done this but I heard a long time ago that the validations servers closed down and you can't install the software anymore. But again. Don't quote me on that.

I have Elements 14 and 22, but won't buy anything else from them.

You are correct. Unfortunately, many do not read and/or understand, or do not check all the posts before answering! (redundantly)

Which, almost always, can be done after installation, (At least that's been my experience) unless it is no longer supported, then it's wallet time.

And as Jerry says, it's progress.

Make that "progress?"

Yes, I believe the spelling of that word should be updated to include the quotes in pretty much all cases.

He better get it somehow because old programs or new, they need internet validation most often. (not always)

I use my cell phone to download programs to my laptop or phone and then transfer them to a desktop or laptop.
Most software requires a connection to the internet to validate now days, so network is required. If you have no internet and cell service, hope you have a laptop to drive into town with to get your software downloaded and validation.

I agree. Amazon has them for as little as $14.

Remember when the first generation of CD players came out? Before DVD's.
$800.00 and you needed a host of plastic CD carriers because they couldn't except a raw CD.
OH, and they were single speed drives for $800.00.

Oh I remember. I remember the price for record label CDs? I only owned about 20. Then came napster, you remember napster? I built a huge library of music from it. I had a video laser disk before dvd, do you remember those.?

Yes, I saw the Pioneer laser disk in Audio Den in Lake Grove, NY.
It had some picture, but I could see the problem with it.
I could see a slight amount of jumpiness I couldn't live with.
Yep, Napster. Never got into that. Don't remember why.

I remember. I put a brand new 8 track in my ‘55 Chevy Panel Truck. It cost most of my two week paycheck to buy it.
