Given that AdobeTool, the program generally used to easily patch the host and activate Adobe products currently isn't functioning on Windows 10, I decided to write my own version in PowerShell.
If you decide to update your applications you simply need to run the script again. I have only included support for Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and After Effects currently; however, I can easily add support for more CS6 products if desired, so feel free to ask. All code is completely open source and not obfuscated, so you're more than welcome to look at it if you're concerned for safety or if you're interested in learning.
THIS IS AN ACTIVATOR, NOT INSTALLATION MEDIA. Pirating installation media is of course illegal, and doing so is of your own decision and liability.
Software and Development Information:
Language: PowerShell
IDE: PowerShell ISE
What does it do?
1. Batch file copies post-reboot files to C:\
2. Same batch file also forces administrative privileges and elevates process for script
3. Program introduction, require user input to continue
4. Bypass execution policy (allowing script to run on any computer)
5. Copy startup file to Startup folder
6. Disable UAC
7. Prompt for restart
8. Startup file runs second script
9. Replace hosts file
a. Confirm overwrite with user input
b. Flush DNS
10. Check for existing installation and apply crack for:
a. If application doesn’t exist, produce an error message and continue
i. Adobe Photoshop CS6
ii. Adobe Illustrator CS6
iii. Adobe After Effects CS6
iv. Adobe Dreamweaver CS6
11. Print out list of successfully cracked applications
12. Advise user to rerun ‘Run Adobe Tool.bat’ after installing any official updates
13. Prompt user to restart for changes to take effect

Simply extract the initial download and all necessary files are included.
If you don't trust it, don't download it. All the code is open source, so you're encouraged to verify it.
