Guess I'll try Gimp...
4 years ago
General
Well, sadly, I can't install my old CS6, so that's that... I have a real product key, but Adobe has a record of the key being linked to my old college email account and the system automatically sends the validation code there...
I graduated in 2013. I don't thing customer assistance wants to hear how much I would like to continue using my 10 year old student edition of a discontinued product. And there is no way I am going to pay Adobe extortion to the tune of $50 or more per MONTH! Gees! I only paid ya crooks $450 and used it 8 YEARS!
Guess I'll try Gimp and see how that goes...
By the way, my new computer arrived and is up and running. I backed up loads of stuff I was working on literally the day before my old one died. Sure, I'd love to go back and work on my old flash based files, but, hey, at least I exported everything to .png format.
Expect some new stuff soon, I guess.

With GIMP, if you're on windows, you might want to activate the single window mode. I find GIMP is better for technical stuff like game textures.
You might be interest in Krita and Clip Studio (formally Manga Studio). Krita is free, and focused on painting. Clip is a one time paid thing about the price of a game, and goes on sale occasionally. One of the tiers has animation tools, though you'd have to look that up.
Finally, there's Aseprite, which is focused on making game sprites, so likely not what you want, but again, does animations and is cheap.
The old Adobe account was set up when I was a student and I can't remember the password 8 years later. So to reset the password, they send an email to your registered account, the one I can't access because I graduated 8 years ago...
BUT I did get to install the trial version of CS6 this morning, so I'm hoping I can finish up and export the last of my WIPs.

Ah. I doubt e-mailing support would help, but might be worth a shot? Though it sounds like you have everything is backed up now so it's not a problem.
