1. Where can i find a download for the Adobe Camera Raw 9.1.1 (ACR) installer for Photoshop CS6?

   • As posted above, Adobe is discontinuing public direct download links for older software.

     However, you can now download legacy installers (like CS6) through Adobe’s website. This new download facility is the best option for customers to get Creative Suite 6 installers.

     For more details and complete info­rmation, see our helpful explainer post here.

     Regarding ACR 9.1.1 in particular, you may find download links in this Community discussion, but we don’t know how much longer those links will work. As noted, public DDL are going away.

   • Hi, i am failing to download despite following steps – please help

   • Gareb, are you talking about CS6 or Adobe Camera Raw 9.1.1?

     Please read our response above carefully in either case.

2. Bonjour, J’ai Adobe Photoshop CS6 en CD avec code de série original, lorsque je lance le CD et je clique Setup.exe, ça ne fonctionne pas. Quel serait le moyen de pouvoir réutiliser le logiciel avec le code de série ?

   Merci !

   • Bonjour Alexandre,

     When you say “it doesn’t work,” what error message or other problem do you encounter, exactly?

     We can’t really help unless we know more details about the issue you’re having.

3. Since Adobe screwed me over with my subscription almost two years ago, I’ve been at my wits end without having Fireworks CS6 any longer. Even though it was still installed on my computer, Adobe reverted it to a 30-day trial, and after that trial was over, I lost Fireworks forever, because I couldn’t “license” it with a serial number since it’s long been a discontinued program.

   Reading around online, it sounds like Adobe actually killed it altogether as of 2024, as I see a lot of people posting on Adobe forums starting in 2024 saying they can no longer access the program, even through CC Desktop.

   That being said, I also keep reading online that some avid, longtime FW users have resorted to downloading and installing a “portable” version of the program. What is this portable version? Is there a link to download and install it? Since it’s a “portable” version, does this mean the functionality has some limitations compared to the full version of the program?

   • Hi Joseph, unfortunately Adobe has never made any such software as “Fireworks Portable” or “Photoshop Portable” – so it’s not legitimate, and the behavior of whatever you would install is unpredictable and dangerous… sorry:

     But the good news is if you want to get the valid and authentic Fireworks CS6 downloaded and working on your computer, then please see our previous response here.

     Hope that helps!

4. Hi, the DDL for CS6 Windows doesn’t work for me.. It just takes me to a page of available downloads on the adobe site, but doesn’t have CS6. I followed the steps above.

   • Hello Amy, please see the important notice at the top of this page:

     Adobe is discontinuing public direct download links for older software.

     Instead, you can now download legacy installers here (such as CS6) through their website, or get the latest Creative Cloud installers here.

     For more details and complete info­rmation, see our new explainer post which shows how you can still get the direct download links for the CS6 offline installers.
