It means that Photoshop CS6 serial number has been gotten from computer registry file. Click Save button or Save to File button to store product keys on computer. This is an effective way to find Photoshop product key with a tool. On my Mac, running Yosemite 10.10.5, I was able to track down my CS5 serial number by following the following file path: Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support / regid.1986-12.com.adobe. And then selecting the appropriate file for the CS instillation I was looking for.
I want to move my Photoshop CS5 installation to a new computer.
Unfortunately, I lost the paper with the cd-key.
Is there a way to recover the serial from my local installation?

If you logged in with your Adobe account when you first used the serial number, I believe it gets tied to your Adobe account and is retrievable through their website.
slhckUse a regedit reader specialized for license keys,for example :
LicenseCrawler (free, portable)
or
The Magical Jellybean Keyfinder (has free version)

Go into system information under help in the photoshop application. A long list of things will come up stuff like your plug-ins ect.
Among that will be the serial number without the dashes - just put a dash every four numbers and that is your serial number that you used to install the program.
The serial number in system info may get you only 5 blocks of 4 digits where the complete serial number may be 6 blocks of 4 digits. Belarc Advisor gets the comlete 6 blocks.
A Mac option that worked for (my old but highly functional) Photoshop CS 5.1, just opened a terminal and ran
find /Library/Application Support/ -name 'regid*.swidtag' -exec cat {} ;
In any recent version of Adobe Photoshop:
Where Is My Adobe Serial Number Search
Help >System Info...
Find the following strings there:
The last one is a serial number you find.
