In one sense it seems to make sense to do so as a version 19.0 or later is not part of the "CC" designation. But in another sense it doesn't make sense to do so - or at least the "some" of the Photoshop support documentation has it that it is the same as you would have to download a separate version to do so.
Is my logic correct? Or, can I install 19.x on an older machine using the "CC" designation?
Many thanks,

A:
This means that you are getting new Photoshop applications that are compatible with current CC licenses. They do not come with the older versions of CS6. I doubt that any of those applications have changed from CS6.
There are separate versions for older machines with older graphic cards. They still use CS5 and CS6, but have less features because they have less powerful hardware.
The first step is to check which version you have. You can see this in the About Photoshop dialog.
If you don't see anything about versions, the CS6 that you have is the one that came with the computer. It's not the "Free" version, or "Creative Cloud" version, but the one that came with the computer.
If you are running OS X El Capitan, you need to upgrade to the Creative Cloud version. CS6 was released in September of 2015. Your current version of the software is either 10.3.4 or later.
If you have CS6, it is fine to use it. As long as you have an active Creative Cloud account, you can use the software as long as you are in the Creative Cloud organization. If you don't have a CC account, you cannot. You need to either upgrade to a newer version of the computer or move to the Creative Cloud organization.
If you have CS6 on a PC, it is also possible to install the latest CC version of Photoshop on that PC. It is possible to run Photoshop in CS6 mode, and get access to the Creative Cloud. You cannot use the CS6 that came with the computer. You need to install the Creative Cloud version.
