  1. I’ve got Flash CS6 downloaded, but it’s giving me an error that says: “The following disk images couldn’t be opened. Reason: Not recognized.” Can you help me out?

    • Well, being logged in isn’t enough – you also need to follow the download instructions in the article above or the direct links won’t work. If you don’t, then you’ll get that exact message.

      Then if you still have any difficulties, try a different web browser, computer, or Internet connection… Avoid Wi-Fi as it can be slow and unreliable; these are large files so use a fast wired connec­tion (with a cable) instead.

      Finally, we put together a list of suggestions if you get stuck.

  2. Cannot download trial of PS CS6 for online course. Downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Logged into Adobe account. Clicked on download in article above and received error “You do not have permission to download onto this server. Reference # 18.4b2b1d8.1386428709.c924756” What do I need to do now to download the trial version? Thanks!

    • Not sure – we just tested those direct links again and they work fine on our end, no problems at all and fast download time… Try again with a different browser or computer, while still carefully following the instructions.

  3. Same here… I think Adobe has finally nuked access to legacy downloads in pursuit of their CC distribution. I’ve depended on this portal for years. :/

  4. I can not download the CS6 design standard suite. It downloads to about 2 gigs and then stops. I’ve tried on a number of computers and the same thing. Please help.

  5. Access Denied
    You don’t have permission to access “…/AdobeProducts/PPRO/6/win32/PremierePro_6_LS7.7z” on this server.

  6. I’ve followed all the steps carefully, but I still get the message saying “The following disk images couldn’t be opened. Reason: Not recognized.”. Help? I desperately need Flash Professional CS6!

  7. All of the links are broken…they no longer work. I get the message:

    Access Denied
    You don’t have permission to access “…/AdobeProducts/PHSP/13/win32/Photoshop_13_LS16.exe” on this server.

    • Not true… Just tested them yet again and they all work fine. The CS6 files downloaded right away with one click.

      Most people who have difficulty here just haven’t followed the essential download directions carefully enough, each step to the letter.

  8. Downloading Adobe Premiere***

    I can download link 2

    but when I download link 1 it say’s something about an archive file not being there.

    Do i have to wait for this file 2 to be done?

    Same issues as others: Cannot download trial of PS CS6 for online course. Downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Logged into Adobe account. Clicked on download in article above and received error “You do not have permission to download onto this server. Reference # 18.4b2b1d8.1386428709.c924756″ What do I need to do now to download the trial version? Thanks!

    • Trinija, if you continue facing difficulties you may want to try a different browser or computer. Some user’s security settings, antivirus programs, toolbars, or add-ons can make it challenging to complete the download directions successfully.

      The links work fine for the overwhelming majority of people here… But as with most things web-related, it is always best to try in two separate browsers if you are not getting the desired results.

  10. Hi,

    I’ve downloaded both files for Photoshop CS6 fine. But now the installation has been stuck at 21% for over an hour and it has gone from 400mins remaining to 600mins remaining!

    Is there an issue with the installation or is this normal?

    Thanks!

  11. I download Photoshop CS6 just fine. However when I open the program, the option of “continue your trial” is not selectable. Can only click on “License this software.”

    I only had a trial of Photoshop CC before, wasn’t this one supposed to work?

  12. I have downloaded both files for CS6 master collection, but the file stops downloading at 2.2 gigabytes and will not install. Please help!

    • Nothing on Adobe’s end, it all works fine here – so we’d suggest trying a different browser, computer, or Internet connection…

      Don’t use Wi-Fi – go with a wired cable instead of wireless, as these are large files and work best with a strong, fast, steady connection.

    • Hi Lisa, all of the CS6 downloads on this page will automatically begin in free trial mode, completely functional for 30 days (or even 60 days).

      When a valid purchased serial number is entered within that period, then they convert to fully-licensed versions.

  13. Hello. I am trying to download the 30-day free trial of Photoshop CS6. I did the download of Adobe Acrobat and signed in to Adobe. When I try to download either file, it tells me Acrobat cannot read the file because it has been damaged or is not supported by Acrobat. Any suggestions.

    • Hello Jessica, are you on Windows? None of these files should be opened with Acrobat. File 1 is always a .EXE executable on Windows and you just double-click that to run it.

      If that doesn’t work, then it sounds like one of your downloads lost its file extension and your computer doesn’t know how to open it… In that case, here is what to do.

      Hopefully that will get it working for you. If not, see this list of tips for further help.

    • No, neither one. If you read the download instructions carefully, step 3 says to cancel or close any of those programs that start… But once you’ve done that process, you’ve enabled the downloading for any of the Adobe direct links from the table above.

  14. I have both files saved in My Documents. File 2 saved as a 7z file with many components in it. No .exe or .7z files in My Documents. HELP!

    • File 1 should always be a .EXE on Windows. If it’s not, then your browser (probably IE) dropped the file extension (which happens sometimes) – and so you just need to rename it to add back the “.exe” extension at the end.

      File 2, if given for the application, is always a .7Z file on Windows. Make sure it is in the same folder as the .EXE file.

      Next you double-click the .exe file and it will extract the installation package (.7z file) into a new Adobe folder on your Desktop.

      Then within that new folder, you run the set-up.exe file to actually install the CS6 application(s) you selected onto your computer.

  15. the files downloaded fine, but no installer happens. I have even deleted the files and downloaded again. I just get a box asking which program I would like to open the files with. (I am on Windows 8.1)

  16. for people like me who had to surf the web until their arms were sore, and had to sift through solutions time and time again using good ol’ trial and error, let me try and spell it out for ya.

    make sure you:

    – temporarily enable cookies on your browser (chrome, safari) so you can download the .dmg files above. (all DL links work fine after this, no “access denied” or anything)

    – run the Adobe Creative Suite/Cloud Cleaner Tool if necessary.

    – have dragged the actual "CD icon" of CS6 Master Collection or "package icon" onto your DESKTOP. Double click to install

    you should have no failed installation or " Exit Code: 6 " or " ERROR: DF015, DW063 … " if you make sure you've done those. (i hope)

    Good luck!
