Installing old Adobe CS6 apps on a modern Mac

Adobe no longer has a public web page to download the DMG for their old CS6 apps. Fortunately, you can still get to them by logging into your Adobe account.

– Go to “Order History”
– Click on the Order Number for your product
– Click on the “Downloads and Serial Numbers” link
– Follow the “Download .dmg” link.

Download the DMG file and open it.

If you try to run “Install.app” it will fail with an error popup. Here’s how to get around that.

1. Open a Terminal window
2. cd /Volumes
3. cd into the directory for your product or bundle
4. cd Install.app/Contents/MacOS
5. ./Install
