Is it possible to get Adobe Illustrator 6 to work on mac? I don't like that I can no longer open my files and didn't realize when I upgraded to the latest operating system from Apple that this was not going to work at all. I do not want to have to go to a subscription service from Adobe.
Do you have a Time Machine backup to Restore to/from?

If not…
You will need to subscribe to a plan including Illustrator at Adobe.com if you want to use Catalina. Here is info on a plan containing only Illustrator. Your can probably do better if you are a student or teacher.
I'm assuming that Adobe 6 is a 32 bit app. None of your 32 bit apps will work with Catalina. Your choice is to reinstall your former OS, subscribe to the newer version of Illustrator or find another alternative app. Sorry, but we've been told by Apple for several years now that this was coming and now it has happened.
If you mean literal version 6 (released in 1996), then absolutely no way will that run. Though even if you mean CS6, then no, that won't run in Catalina, either.
Restore the backup you made before upgrading the OS.
