Was the message in a Web page, or in the application?
The installer application created a cc icon on the menu bar (top right of screen). The message was a drop down from that icon.

Maybe the new software read you real name and email info from the registration file of the CS6

That was going to be my guess.

It could have got my name... But, how did it get my home email address? I don't use that address at work.

If you've ever used your home email for registering or upgrading an Adobe product or for receiving their emails they can get it, either from their DB or from their support files on your computer.

Adobe is evil.

Possibly... Although, I've never contacted Abobe for support at work or at home.
I wonder if they can see my name in the user account info. If so, they could have cross referenced my name with my home email address. In which case, I guess I should have created a new user account. If so, do you think they can still get my name from the list of users on my computer?
This is creeping me out.

I'm using CS6 at work. Someone recently sent us a file that was created in CC (it won't open in CS6).
What program? I'm surprised anything saved in an Adobe app couldn't be opened in the same app that's only slightly older...

Ah, Grasshopper, so much to learn.
