So the original files for older versions of Adobe software are pretty much Thanos-snapped out of existence, I still have an original install for CS6 saved from years ago - so if you need Photoshop or such here’s the hookup trial version.
spoiler
there is also instructions i wrote and the necessary files to “crack” =3

I’m late to the party here and have nothing to contribute materially but wanted to say how I used Photoshop CS6 a while ago and was really pleased with it overall. Nice thing was, as you alluded to, that Adobe made the installers and patches available right on their support site for their entire product line, no need to keep optical disc around. Seems like they’ve moved to the PC gaming distribution models now, with a launcher, account login, everything downloaded on-demand?
For those older Adobe softwares I remember the magic bullet being “amtlib.dll” file. The arrr matey version would cancel/remove its DRM function of verifying an Adobe account before allowing use of whichever program. There were torrents up on the Bay of just that file as I recall, so if you didn’t have a purchased key you could download the latest build direct from Adobe, install, then replace the one little file and you were set indefinitely.
Their DRM has evolved quite a lot since then and 2018/19 versions of their suite are a pain from what I’ve read. I long ago moved to desktop Linux and GIMP for my limited photo editing so I’m way out of the loop these days.
Yup. There you go. The amtlib.dll is the “magic bullet” in this one I posted here. You do need to make an account to install the software but beyond that, nothing else really. And well, actually the older CS files have long since been removed off Adobe’s website.
You can easily download and install the CC 2018 Adobe programs, here’s the crack I use.
CC 2019 and up use a different DRM I believe which is apparently crackable but I don’t know much more.
To use the crack:
- it’s probably going to trigger a false-positive in your antivirus software (I’ve been using that exact exe for years without issue)
- open CCMaker.exe, select download&Install
- on the next screen, select all apps you want to install. It doesn’t give you the year but only the version number, so you’ll need to google “photoshop CC 2019 version” (or any other app) to find out which version number is attached to 2019, since you can’t crack that. Then download the last major release before that number.
- Check all apps you want to download and crack (it downloads straight from Adobe’s site btw), and select the folder you want to put the install files in. You’ll delete that folder when the apps are installed.
- On the next screen you can review settings for the apps you’ve selected, I recommend you check everything if you have the HDD space (stuff like codecs or plugins are always good to have). You can also select the app’s language there.
- On the next screen keep everything checked, click next, and let the installer do what it has to. It will install and then crack what you previously selected.
- And done! Just start the apps you’ve installed at least once to make sure everything works fine.
