I should have said "if you upgrade to Catalina", rather than trying to install from new. In some capacity however, you will not be able to reinstall or activate the application after the macOS upgrade." Upgrading to macOS Catalina with an older version already installed on your computer may allow the application to function Therefore, they cannot be installed and activated after upgrading to macOS Catalina. "Older versions use 32-bit licensing components and installers. My understanding is that the Adobe code for installing, uninstalling, and activating CS6 does not work under Catalina.Īdobe – Photoshop and macOS Catalina (10.15) My testing of a new version of macOS is a temporary use of my normal clone backup as a test disk. Note: My normal backup strategy is TimeMachine plus a bootable clone of my system drive. I had also been planning for the migration away from Photoshop CS6 ever since the Adobe declared end of support and was already in the process of transitioning to Affinity Photo.
#Adobe bridge cs6 has stopped working 32 bit
In the case of macOS Catalina, I already knew which Apps I would loose due to them being 32 bit (or having dependencies on 32 bit modules) via utilities such as the Go64 App so I was not surprised that Photoshop CS6, MS Office 2008 and a few others did not work when I tested Catalina prior to updating.
Only after testing out the new version of macOS do I decide if I will stay with the old version of macOS or move to the new version of macOS.
#Adobe bridge cs6 has stopped working update
My normal procedure for updating to a new macOS versions is to switch my boot drive to my external clone of the system drive (I use Carbon Copy Cloner), update it to the new version of macOS, and then run that for a couple of days to test which of my Apps are impacted. As my replacement for Adobe Bridge CS6, I am using XnView MP (free for personal use, license required for professional use) which shows thumbnails for Affinity Photo native Afphoto files. I am now fully transitioned to using Affinity Photo now. When I updated to Catalina, Photoshop CS6 definitely stopped working. While the main Photoshop CS6 code is 64 bit, it has dependencies on 32 bit modules. If, like me, you have the 64-bit version, it should of course continue to work.
If no such update is forthcoming, I'd like to see someone provide the instructions to locate the file that is reading the date and simply adjust it to some distant and impossible future date, like 11/1/18.I have been an Affinity Photo user since the original Beta version and made full transition to Affinity Photo as my replacement for Photoshop CS6 when I made the transition to Catalina.įor all readers : please do not assume that Photoshop CS6 will stop working in Catalina. A nice AOM or whatever to fix me up and back to business as usual. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt to my beloved Adobe providers and assume no shenanigans were intended and something went wrong. If they intended for functionality to expire, they did so underhandedly. The product was sold with the reasonable expectation - regardless of the 40' long small print EULA - that the current capability of previous version would not deprecate or decrease. That is not legal in most states and in this state there is legal recourse available. It would be akin to selling a lemon (selling a used car that you know will fail). I'd expect Adobe to claim it was an unforeseen bug, but it they want to say it was intentional, then I would have to declare shenanigans. It sounds as if either they planned for a feature to expire or built in limitations without realizing it because they didn't think 10/31/17 would ever happen. Rolling back the local time fixes the issue. Verifying the same problem on all 6 of our desktops, each with their own single license versions. Okay this is a rather disconcerting issue.
