MacOS – CS6 Illustrator on Mac OSX 10.15 Catalina – anyone managed to run it

64-bitadobecatalinamacos

I was browsing Internet for some hints, but did not find anything yet. And the communication is a bit missleading, one say it won't work, becuase of 32-bit references, another claim it should work, because CS6 Illustrator itself is 64-bit.

Ended up after install with:

and after clicking the icon:

“Adobe Illustrator CS6” needs to be updated.

enter image description here

according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Illustrator

Adobe Mercury Performance System, 64-bit memory support, new user
interface, gradient on a stroke, pattern creator tool, ImageTrace
(replaces Live Trace)

From the OSX system information:

Adobe Illustrator CS6:

  Version:  682
  Obtained from:    Identified Developer
  Last Modified:    19/08/2019, 14:06
  Signed by:    Developer ID Application: Adobe Systems, Inc., Developer ID Certification Authority, Apple Root CA
  Location: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Adobe Illustrator.app
  Kind: 64-bit
  Get Info String:  16.0.0, Copyright © 1987-2012 Adobe Systems Inc.  All rights reserved.

so it is 64bit

I was able to get Photoshop CS6 to work with the following. Might work for Illustrator.

package contents > contents > MacOS and launch the executable

(to find the package contents, find the file "Adobe Photoshop CS6.app" in the Apps folder, right-click and select "Show Package Content")
