macOS 10.14 - but will give you repeated warnings when trying to run 32-bit applications.

OS X 10.11 - free, supports most internet/iCloud based services.

OS X 10.10 - was slow when installed on a hard disk, does not support latest Apple internet/iCloud based services.

OS X 10.9 - was very kludgy and slow when installed on a hard disk.

OS X 10.8 - costs money but if you already own it/want to pay for it, it runs very efficiently in a virtual machine and there are few internet/iCloud based services clogging it up.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Server) - costs money but you may already be running/want to run this to be able to use PowerPC/Rosetta based applications.However, we recommend running the following versions of macOS / OS X / Mac OS X as Virtual Machines for 32-bit app support: MacStrategy presents this special guide to running Adobe Creative Suite within a virtualised Mac OS X / OS X / macOS environment. The ability to virtualise Adobe Creative Suite is important and very useful as it is an easy way to run these older 32-bit applications that do not run on macOS 10.15 or later. Instructions for virtualising Adobe Creative Suite with Mac OS X / OS X / macOS Virtualising Adobe Creative Suite with Mac OS X / OS X / macOS I use the CC versions at work for work reasons, I don't see a big difference between the current CC version versus CS6, using really only InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.Virtualising Adobe Creative Suite with Mac OS X / OS X / macOS Article ID = 115Īrticle Title = Virtualising Adobe Creative Suite with Mac OS X / OS X / macOSĪrticle Last Updated = 19th November 2021 I don't remember what I had to do then to get back to where they worked. Apple did this years ago with the Adobe Suite, I think CS2 when at one update (without notice that it would) it killed the applications, which was a royal pain, if I recall correctly. I will not update the OS if it kills my Adobe Suite. Adobe should think about some option like the Student and Teacher version for a casual home user (not sure how they'd police it). I use it mostly when looking for a new job to update a portfolio and rework materials from previous jobs to share at interviews and modifying photos occasionally, or making custom flyers or Christmas cards. The subscription pricing is just too high at $600/yr for a casual home user who may use it a few times a year at most to go for an 'upgrade' to an ongoing subscription fee. I am in the same boat, I have the last stand-alone version of the Adobe Suite, version CS 6.
