Apps are installed locally on your computer and your access files the same way you did in CS6. You get access to the same apps you’re used to (but newer versions). If you’re still using CS6, at some point it’s going to stop working and you’ll have to make a change. With no fanfare, Adobe updated their CS6 page to say “As of JanuCreative Suite is no longer available for purchase.”ĭisclosure: If you make a purchase using my links to Adobe’s website, I may earn a commission (which helps support me). If you want to purchase Adobe’s creative apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) you must join the Creative Cloud.
