Need access to After Effects 2023 – not available in Creative Cloud

So, as far as I understand, it is currently no longer possible to install After Effects 2023 via Creative Cloud.

However, I specifically need version 2023 due to compatibility reasons (plugins/projects), and newer versions are not suitable in my case.

Is there any official way to access or download After Effects 2023? I would really appreciate any help or guidance on this.

    As the expert suggested, 23.x is no longer available for download. Only the latest and one major version behind the latest version can be installed.

    Let us know if there are any other questions.


    Thanks,

    But that was the last actually usable version. This annual update cycle that makes the product worse is an absolute joke.

    I’m sorry but if you can’t download it from the Cloud I believe that you’re out of luck.
