I just received an email from Adobe that says Photoshop CC 18.1.6 is now "unauthorized" (subject line: "Changes to Creative Cloud Version Download Availability"). I have kept that version installed until now because it has the Device Preview feature that was removed in later versions, and as a web designer I find that feature too valuable to give up. (I'm fully aware that Photoshop is no longer the preferred app for designing websites, in case anybody is going to start pointing that out. Learning Adobe XD is on my to-do list, but in the meantime, I'm working with legacy processes at my job, and Device Preview is my most seamless workflow option.) Now Adobe is telling me I have to get rid of it, or else "be at risk of potential claims of infringement by third parties." However, the same email also says that version 18.1.7 – one release later than the 18.1.6 I have installed – is still authorized. Maybe there's hope for me keeping a version of Photoshop with Device Preview after all? The problem is that I can't find this fabled 18.1.7 version. In my Creative Cloud app manager, no 18.x versions are available. Adobe's help topic about installing previous versions doesn't offer any other solutions. Googling the fabled version number just gives me a bunch of shady-looking sites that I'm definitely not clicking on. Where can I find a legit source to install it?

Understanding that this is a super old thread, I came across it when I discovered the same issue. Since no replies mention it so far, I figure it's worth pointing out this is a Mac-only problem, confirmed here. All the Windows screencaps in the world won't help in finding it, because it's simply not there no matter what you do, nor will it ever be (for those of us still hanging onto CS6). JJMack's reply above is a good workaround.

Of course you can't open this in CS6, because it's a CC file. But why do you do all this distilling and converting?
If you just place and embed the file into a new file, you'll get the same (maybe even a little less flattening), but a lot easier.
I know this is an old thread, but this is one of the only answers that is actually helpful. Yelling about "don't use EPS" does not solve the issue posed here. You either have an EPS you need to deal with (like I just did today), or you don't. Tangental "advice" about telling other people to save their files differently is useless within a problem solving thread like this. Placing and embedding the newer-versioned EPS file within CS6 did it for me. Thank you, Monika.
