Blocking Outgoing Connections - Cap - Oct 8, 2013
With Adobe Photoshop CS6, why do you need to block outgoing connections/turn off internet before you run the application?

So it can't contact its activation server I guess

I never heard of that one before, but I'd assume to prevent it from contacting it's servers.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that from?

By activation servers, you mean to verify the application was purchased? If I do happen to keep the internet on, it won't contact them and tell them it's a cracked version will it? And Greyhat, I'll send you a PM so I'm not posting links to other forums on here.

NetLimiter can do this. Or Something called NetLock can do this.
But I usually use NetLimiter. But disabling your network connection
while installing should work just fine.
Hopefully you get this solved!
