After successful installation I got the same 'Please connect to the internet and retry window' that alan.kirk got (. Installed CS6 Production Premium & got around the 'Missing file for ' error using the instructions here:

dmg provided on the products page of my adobe profile. To review, while on a Macbook Pro 2011, running High Sierra in 2021 THIS WORKED! After hours of searching this was the solution I needed. I spent time on adobe chat last night and they even issued me a new serial number, but that didnt work either and now they wont talk to me in chat saying the product is no longer supported. The strange thing is that I reformatted a machine last month and its all OK. I also tried from home and through my phone just incase our work router, internet, virus protection software was casuing issues. I have tried this on both a Sierra and Yosemite Mac, both freshly reformatted and I get the same problem. If I hit retry it will come up with the same screen again and if I hit connect it will let me install and even run updates of the programs but won’t validate, which will only leave the software useable for 7days. When I try to validate the serial number it comes up with a “Please connect to the Internet and retry” error, saying it isn’t connected to the internet. I cant get it to validate a legit serial number that is registered to my adobe account. Has anyone else had trouble validating serial numbers during the install process of CS6 in the last week or so?
