Read my note again. I didn't say CS6 would stop working. I said that files created in the CC version may not always be backward compatible with CS6. Right now, I don't know if CC has introduced any features that create files that aren't backward compatible, but each new edition of Photoshop

David, it seems logical to me: if the CC licence is for version 6, and your CS version is 6, flies created with the cloud version won't be able to be opened with your local version. Just like you cannot open FM version 10 files in FM version 9. Grant On 7/17/2013 4:52 AM, David Creamer

I really don't understand this reasoning that if you can't update your software every year or whatever you have to stop using it. I never upgrade my tools unless there's a compelling reason to do so. FrameMaker upgrades in particular have been one step forward, two steps back, since version 8.
