In any case click through all the errors and the app should launch. But I got the errors after I migrated to my new M1 Mac (via migration to Big Sur from Big Sur on non-M1), only the M1 is where I got the invalid license issues. Actually the time I upgraded on a non-M1 mac I didn't seem to get these errors.

As my version of Adobe Photoshop is paid I assume this is an upgrade issue. So hopefully you have to do less especially if you have a vanilly Adobe Photoshop CS 6 installation.ĩ) Once Adobe successfully launches using the technique above it may give errors about invalid license. But as I said I had a bunch of stuff installed and deleting those two directories did it. You have the backup folder so you can do trail and error if needed.

Basically keep deleting things till Adobe launches. But your experience may differ based on all the Adobe stuff you have there. I had to go to the /Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and delete the /APE and the /OOBE directory since items in there prevented Photoshop from Launching. Your situation may differ from mine but I had a bunch of extra stuff installed which prevented launch. Depending what you have installed with Adobe CS 6. Hit enter in terminal to get the app launchingĨ) (Optional?) At this point you may get some errors in terminal which prevent Adobe Photoshop from launching on your M1 Mac running Big Sur. We will only need one part of this folder but best to save it all in case some other files are needed later for another upgrade in the future post Big Sur.Ħ) Go the Adobe CS 6 app in your application folder, Show package Contents, then go into Contents -> Mac OSħ) Open terminal and drag and drop the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Binary on top of Terminal. Make a copy of this entire directory (/Library/Application Support/Adobe) for good measure somewhere else. Listing this again for emphasis since it is VERY important.ĥ) Go to the /Library/Application Support/Adobe directory (I mean /Library not ~/Library, you will need to use Finder and the "Go To Folder" to go to /Library directory then navigate from there). At least that's how I did it and it worked.Ĥ) Again as Mentioned above DO NOT launch Photoshop CS 6 on Big Sur yet. Note: If you are running an M1 Mac it is best to do this upgrade to Big Sur on a non-M1 Mac then do the migration to your M1 computer after the upgrade to Big Sur. BUT ******DO NOT****** launch Photoshop on Big Sur yet.

This will become important later, after the upgrade to Big Sur.ģ) Perform the upgrade to Mac OS X Big Sur.

This is so the recent file list in Adobe Photoshop CS 6 for Mac is populated with files. Adobe Photoshop itself is a 64-bit application so it will run just the 32-bit installer will not run on Catalina or newer.Ģ)(many probably did this previously) Prior to the upgrade to Big Sur you need to open some documents with Photoshop CS 6 on whatever OS you are using prior to the upgrade to Big Sur.
#Adobe photoshop cs6 mac kickass install#
So do the install of Adobe CS6 prior to the upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur. This is because the Adobe CS6 Installer is 32-bit and will not run on Catalina or newer. I think I got all the steps but have only replicated it twice and am working from memory in writing down the steps below since I only ever intended to solve this problem for myself.ġ) (you probably did this previously) On Mac OS X Mojave or earlier. Let me know if it doesn't work (or if it does work!). But hopefully you can follow the below steps since a video would be more work for me. This technique works on both my older computer (non-M1 and the new M1 I purchased later, replacing that computer). For those interested I am also running a new M1 Mac and Adobe CS 6 runs on it fine with the limitations below.

This is to get Adobe Photoshop CS6 working on Mac OS X Big Sur.
