And they didn't stop selling it until mid 2014, which is only a year and a half before El Capitan came out. In the end, if CS6 is the last stand alone piece of software that Adobe is going to put out there, then I agree that there should be some sort of update for at least a few years down the road from when they stop selling it. (which I wasn't aware of and is pretty crappy, if you ask me.) Now, the only reason I have upgraded to El Capitan is because things like Google Chrome are not going to be supported anymore in anything less than Yosemite. Then it got too late to download any of them and Apple won't allow the downloads after they have already advanced to the next OS.

Like in my case, I can ONLY go back to OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard due to the fact that I never downloaded the other updates until El Capitan because I was always leery about upgrading, with a lot of complaints out there.


However, in regards to the last statement about going back to an older version of Apple OS, sometimes that's not possible. Maybe I'm just lucky for now, but I hope it continues to work. On the other hand, if you are running Adobe Illustrator CC, this one should work on Windows 8 because it supports Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Microsoft Windows 8, and Microsoft Windows 8.1.īased on these information, check if you should upgrade or downgrade your operating system or just install a much newer version of Adobe Illustrator.First let me say that my CS6 Master Collection is still working with El Capitan. For Mac users, it supports Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or 10.7 Lion. If you are using Adobe Illustrator CS6, it supports Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1. For Mac users, Adobe Illustrator CS5 works on Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard. Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8.1 or newer is not supported. If you have Adobe Illustrator CS5, you should not use it if you have Microsoft Windows 8.Īdobe Illustrator CS5 supports only Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3, Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Microsoft Windows 7. The problem really depends on the version of Adobe Illustrator. There is really no difference in the system requirements of the usual Adobe Illustrator and with the lite portable version except that the portable version can be started in a USB flash drive.
