I want to buy Encore DVD, where can i buy it!
Thanks
Jan Bihl
Hey Jan, Encore is not sold separately; it is bundled together with Premiere Pro CS6 – and yes, Adobe still sells CS6 direct. So you can buy it that way.
Or alternatively, you can get Premiere Pro CC 2014 (the latest and greatest version of the application) – and older releases like CS6 (including Encore DVD) will automatically be included for your download and use.
So it depends on whether you want a more expensive older perpetual license (CS6), or a more affordable recent release with ongoing upgrades included (CC).
It’s up to you; hope that helps!
PS – Here are the new CC 2014 trials if you want to download and check them out for up to 60 days free.
Hi,
I keep getting ‘access denied’ when I click on the CS6 links?
TIA
Yes, you’ve got to carefully follow the important download instructions above (required by Adobe’s servers) before you click, otherwise you’ll get that message.
If you have any difficulties after doing that, then try a different web browser, another computer, or Internet connection.
Also, make sure you’re not blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs – or running blocking utilities like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect. Adobe recommends temporarily turning those things off (antivirus, firewalls, etc. – the first step in those directions).
If you’re still stuck, check out this list of download tips we put together to help.
Then to complete the installation, you must have Administrator privileges on your computer, plus your security software must allow you to install programs.
@ProDesignTools
Thank you for your quick answers!
If I buy a Premiere Pro CC subscription then install Premiere Pro CS6 with Encore and install it with subscription, will it work?
Yes, definitely Jan, no question.
You can either buy any single application by itself (including Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, etc.) for a low monthly cost, or you can get the complete Creative Cloud (with all tools & services) bundled together at an all-in-one price.
Either way, you will have full access to download and use the latest CC 2014 release as well as the older CS6 version (and Encore is included with Premiere Pro CS6).
You should be able to run the software on up to two of your computers, and whenever necessary you can easily move it between systems.
After Effects CS6 does not work with the new Mac update. Is there a way of getting it to work?
Hi Bob, Adobe After Effects CS6 does indeed work with Mac OS X v 10.10 “Yosemite” – it is compatible… Please see this post:
After Effects good to go with Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite)
However if you are having difficulties, then it may be because AE hasn’t updated itself yet with the patches available for CS6. Normally this happens automatically, but if not then you can manually download & apply the most recent cumulative patch here (AE 11.0.4).
The problem might also be the file/folder permissions on your system. Often, when updating Mac OS X, they’re not set right – and that issue can hinder the start of Adobe programs (CS6 included)… Here’s how to fix that, if it affects you:
Fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
Hope that helps!
i can’t download this freaking cs4 adobe photoshop ….. it’s just making me insane …… for adobe sake please …
Hey there, what problem are you having in particular – could you be more specific?
Have you read the download directions in the article, or the earlier comments above on this page?
Did you try with a different browser and/or computer?
Does anyone have Adobe Creative Suite (v1.0) from 2003 official download links available? I still have genuine serial numbers for those.
These were the editions…
Adobe Creative Suite (v1.0) Standard
Adobe Creative Suite (v1.0) Premium
Adobe Creative Suite (v1.0 or v2.0?) Production Studio Standard
Adobe Creative Suite (v1.0 or v2.0?) Production Studio Premium
Hopefully PDT knows…
Greatly appreciated!
Wow Marik, that is ancient stuff in the world of software…
No, sorry, we have a lot of direct links for Adobe software, but CS1 is too old for us to have record of here. You might possibly find something on the Adobe FTP server which has dated versions, but it’s really hit-or-miss and for expert users only.
I downloaded the Windows CS6 File 1 and 2 by the File 2 downloads with …….6.7z. How do I open this file?
Hello JN, check out here for some help on getting it opened and installed.
I have a Macbook Pro with Retina display and the applications are very pixelated, is there any reason and solution for this?
Greetings Joe, try updating your CS6 software to pick up later patches made to support the Mac Retina displays… Choose Help > Updates in any Creative Suite 6 tool.
@ProDesignTools
Thanks for the reply, PDT!
Yes, Creative Suite from 2003 are ancient now and thought it’d be great to have them preserved. In fact, I wasn’t able to find any CS files on Adobe’s server other than Application Managers. No worries.
I’d be grateful if someone out there *still* have OFFICIAL Creative Suite (v1.0) retail ISOs and upload them.
Happy holidays!
Sure, thanks Marik, you too!
Though as far as anyone uploading files for you – sorry, Adobe’s terms of use definitely do not allow us to help copy or redistribute their software in any way… And trying to get them from anywhere else besides Adobe is not recommended anyway, because you wouldn’t know exactly what you’re getting or from whom (with the potential of harmful embedded malware in any unauthorized software from an unknown source).
I had CS6 on a computer when the hard drive crashed. I then tried to download from the disk to a second computer but just got a pop-up saying the launch link was broken. I tried to download the free trial directly from the official site – following the instructions to the letter – it did download, but I once again received a pop-up saying the launch link is broken. In true adobe fashion, I was sent in circles to community forums filled with people that know nothing. Phone support is only for CC, the other just hangs up on you.
My question is simple: How to I launch CS6 from a disk? What new launch link do I use? Do I have to buy some sort of launch network separately? What the heck is going on?
Gosh Grant, we’re not sure, it sounds very unusual… All the direct links on this page should work just fine for downloading and installing CS6, so long as you carefully follow the download directions (required by Adobe).
If you’re having difficulties on your system, then make sure you have a strong Internet connection (wired instead of wireless if possible), and/or try a different browser or computer to download the files.
If you have remnants of an old installation on your computer’s disk, then we’d recommend using the Adobe Cleaner Tool to completely clear it off, then rebooting your system and installing from the downloads above.
If you have any further issues then please post the exact text of the message or error you’re getting (or google it) and we’ll try to help further.
Ok so ummmm, i downloaded the PS CS6
http://prntscr.com/5kdkyv
then i clicked “Adobe Photoshop CS6” and brought me here
http://prntscr.com/5kdl70
So then i clicked “install” then it was initializing installer, it then brought me to another tab
http://prntscr.com/5kdlm9
then i clicked the first box and brought me to the terms of agreement, so i hit the blue button, then it brought me to another tab where i have to put in a serial number
http://prntscr.com/5kdma4
Is there any way to go past this? Or did i do something wrong…
Hi Eddie, on one of those screens (after you install the program), you can choose to either license the software or “Start Trial”…
If you choose the latter, then you can run the fully-functional software on your computer for 30 days for free (or possibly up to 44 days) without any serial number necessary.
@Eddie all this was on a Mac
Yes, that should be the case on either Mac or Windows.
After the Flash Pro Cs6 is done downloading, i open it up from the exe it is in? hate for it to install other stuff like toolbars etc.. hope that’s not the case.. what should i do ?
Hey there Salvic, not really sure what you’re asking at all. It absolutely doesn’t install any toolbars or other junk; these are all the original and authentic CS6 downloads coming direct from Adobe’s servers and so it’s all completely safe and spyware/malware free… Could you please rephrase your question, if you’re still having a problem?
@ ProDesignTools
I tried to download the CS6 Master Collection Mac Version English several times now, on different machines with different browsers. I followed the download instructions, am logged into the Adobe account etc. The download actually starts and I end up downloading 7.14GB, yet the download never finishes, it just freezes at the end as if waiting for some final bytes to then convert from a temporary download file to an executable mountable file.
Could you confirm that for you the download of file 1 (CS6 Master Collection / Mac / English File 1) works properly? If yes, it must be hardware / software related on my end … which is still weird as i tried the download via different machines etc. In any case it would be great to confirm that the download file is not corrupted by accident on the Adobe server etc.
Many thanks for your help. If you have any other advise, i would appreciate it very much as well.
That’s very strange Tobias, as we’ve had no other reports of issues – and hundreds of people use these links every day… The files here are all fine and come directly from Adobe’s servers. They are the same exact files that Adobe uses when installing CS6 via any other fashion – except here you don’t need to use their download/application manager but can access the same installers using direct links.
So we’d suggest trying again using a different web browser, another computer or Internet connection. Use a wired connection if possible as it’s more reliable than wireless or Wi-Fi.
I clicked on a link below before I clicked the link in the first instructions point! At the end of the point it says that it’s critical to click a link before clicking on the link in the first point – why, could something happen?
Well, if you don’t follow those important download instructions before clicking on the CS6 direct links in the table, then they probably won’t work and you’ll get an “access or permissions denied” message from Adobe’s servers instead.
Hello, I too am having issues. I have gotten through step 7, using both Firefox and Chrome, however once I get to step 8 above, there is no file called setup.exe…
There are several compressed files, I searched, and looked thorough every one. Any advice on getting it set up?
Hello Megan, we’d need a bit more information in order to help… Which file or CS6 product are you talking about? What system do you have, Windows or Mac? What file(s) do you see in that new Adobe directory?
this is a good site and this site has good programs.
plz send me adobe dreamweaver cs6 for windows 7, 32-bit.
I am from Iraq and I want that program … so thanks
Greetings Khabat, you can just download that CS6 application above yourself if you carefully follow the important directions required by Adobe (included in the article).
@Stuart
same
@ProDesignTools
Ok, thanks!
@ProDesignTools
thanks brother … i will download here now … thanks
do u have a direct link with a crack of dreamweaver Cs6 32-bit ???
if u have … plz send to my yahoo mail … so thank u … thank u very much
my dear, now i am opening the direct link above – it says:
Access Denied
You don’t have permission to access “…/AdobeProducts/DRWV/12/win32/Dreamweaver_12_LS16.exe” on this server.
Reference #18.4422655f.1421591832.f21bdcd
am sorry … can u send me a link of dreamweaver Cs6 for windows 7, 32-bit … because i am opening an above link as u said to me … but that is not a direct link for download … thank u very much
Hey Khabat – as mentioned in our previous reply, you’ve got to carefully follow the important download instructions above before you click on any of the CS6 direct links, otherwise they will not work and you’ll get that exact message instead (Adobe will deny access).
As for a “crack” – sorry, we can’t help you with that, and it’s a really bad move.
I downloaded just illustrator – files one and two – for my Windows system. I saved them in the same folder. But when I try to open the installer it tells me that the file archive part is not in the same folder – Which it is – HELP!!
Hi Cooper, see here for how to fix that.
I upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6. I kept getting ‘file archive part of Adobe Photoshop CS6 is missing’. I followed all the Adobe instructions I could find. Didn’t work. Like you said, I clicked the exe file and all progressed as it should. Now that I look back at Adobe’s instructions, they do say that – but it’s not very clear. THANK YOU!
I wanted this last version. I’m afraid they will eventually cut off these versions, and only offer the cloud. I can’t afford the cloud… forever!! $9.99 a month adds up.
Glad to help. You could say that the cost of the $9.99 Photoshop + Lightroom Plan adds up, but it would take you over 10 years to pay more with that subscription than you would have to pay upfront for older static perpetual copies of this software (US$1,148) – which would likely no longer work on a modern computer anyway after a decade!
And meanwhile with CC, you’re getting ongoing support plus a steady stream regular upgrades and new productivity-enhancing features included automatically.
Can’t find the camera raw 8.7.1 update for cs 6 on this page.
Hello Christian, we generally don’t track the updates for CS6 tools, and Adobe Camera Raw is upgraded via full new releases instead of patch updates anyway…
But if you haven’t been able to successfully update the Camera Raw plug-in for CS6, CC, or CC 2014 Adobe applications, then refer to the following plugin installation:
