Well, I'm on the Mac side, and ran CS6 for as long as I could, but eventually, kicking and screaming, and taking down as many as I could with me, I went the subscription route. Every once in a while, I have to relearn something, but it's quick to find the instruction.

CS6 here on win10.  It should work.  Have you tried running it under compatibility mode?

I've come across very few programs that don't work on win10.  if anything there may be a feature or two that doesn't work.  Just like T-quoter and Quickbooks would no longer communicate.  That was the end of using T-quoter.  Used it for 14 years...not a bad run.

It still works fine, but I just don't have the time to double enter every transaction.

CS3 has been running successfully for a couple of yrs on my Windows 10 along with Ultraseps Plug in.

NO ISSUES

No Cloud for me either........................

Of the Suite, I really only use Photoshop, but Illy comes up......just don't have any experience in it.  For Vector, I use Corel Draw X6.

They don't have to get together for this. Of course they'd like us to upgrade as often as possible! I will say, however, that I don't seem to suffer as much with seemingly inefficient bloat that some programmers used to give us (me). It seemed that as our boxes got more powerful, they were able to crap up the applications enough to reduce the noticeable improvements in speed.
I noticed a similar situation when the larger shop I worked in got new presses with more colors. The damn artists seemed to arbitrarily add colors to their work, often with no noticeable improvement or difference!

I think is was cs5, macs started leaving out this thing called "Rosetta" from their computers. So you could not use the downloads anymore, so if you bought cs5 upgrade, you could no longer put the suite on a newer mac and install your upgrade.

Most likely too many people pirated it..LOL

Yep, but you could download Rosetta and install it, and you were fine, until you weren't, as they say. Running both Illustrator and Photoshop at the most recent versions.

I value my time too much to try to keep old software running on new machines. Ill happily pay the cost to have all my staff running current Adobe stuff. If you really think about it everything that we do comes out of those. Its a tiny cost at the end of the day.

I agree, except I HATE upgrading.  I find the new versions will sometimes have glitches that cause crashes.

I have had more problems upgrading/updating.

My wife is running Photoshop CS, not CS2 or up, but the first one, on a 10 year old iMac running whatever the last OSX would run on the machine ;D. She doesn't care much for change...

Well we just ordered new computers and will upgrade just about all our software, but I'm still hanging onto my old XP and 7 since they both work great, won't run them on the internet but just still use the graphic programs as backups. @Kingscreen yep still using cs3 LOL and as long as I can ;D

I'm still running CS6 too. It does what I need, in fact I could probably run CS and have almost everything I use in PS and Illy. I also have Painter for some drawing/painting where I want a more traditional media feel.

Speaking of upgrades and such, we had to move the computer that held the RIP, and sure enough, there was a windows 10 update that gives you a BSOD during installation.

Wasatch knew about it and had a workaround thankfully.  I hate moving software or changing systems, but the RIP computer fried the motherboard for the 3rd time in 4 months.  I'd rather put it on a Thinkstation and never worry about it again.

Wow, I have not seen the BSOD in over 10 years and we have upgraded multiple times (Windows and/or New PCs) rolling from XP to 7 to 10 (Skipping Vista and 8).

Upgrades are always a PITA for reinstalling everything so we always install Windows fresh to a clean formatted hard drive and go from there.  Letting Windows auto-roll forward from one version to another can have a tendency to leave fragments behind that can confuse and cause issues down the road.

That's my 1 1/2 cents.

Me neither.  They have changed a little for 10.  I couldn't believe it happened.  Wasatch was good though, and they knew exactly what the problem was.
