Adobe CS6 Mac compatibility

I'm about to start online for a career in technical writing classes.  I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.  Applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign (CS6) Adobe won't ever compatible with my device?  Many companies still use FrameMaker, but I read that Adobe has not supported for Mac for several years.

I am angry to think I can't get online training that I need because Adobe and Apple are not 'buddies '.  I'm not quite tech-savvy to maneuver a lot of workarounds and will not download anything that will be problematic.

Could use some definitive answers on the current state of Adobe and Mac.  Thank you!

CS6 is now four years old. When it was developed, it has been tested and supported for Mac OS X 10.6.8 and 10.7. It is still cited as the required system configuration.

Apple brought out four new versions of the OS since then. On some applications, including InDesign, Mac OS X 10.11 will be generally not to install or run. (You'd have to ask in the forums for other products like Photoshop to see how the CS6 runs in El Capitan, I have no way of knowing.)

Adobe has announced about three years ago that it would provide no new updates for CS6. It is considered as the 'end of life'.

In the meantime, Adobe has produced creative cloud with new versions in 2013, 2014 and 2015. If you want to apply the latest updates to Mac OS X, you must get a subscription to Adobe Creative cloud versions which will be kept up-to-date.

If you want to run CS6 on applications, you will need to return to an earlier version of Mac OS X.
