How do I install Adobe Animate on Windows 8.1?

Hello, I am pretty frustrated right now, as I just paid for Animate and find out I can't even download older versions it seems. I need help to download an older version that works on Windows 8.1, or I need to cancel my subscription.

 

Someone please help me if it is possible to download a past version of Animate 😞

    Open CC on your system and locate Animate under Apps. Look far right and click the 3 dots to find "Other versions". As to which older version works with Win 8.1 I'm not sure but that should get you started in the right direction.

    Thanks for replying, I know I posted this some time ago but I'll just post this here in case anyone browses the net and has the same problem: Adobe Support told me Animate is now (for some reason) only compatible wiith Windows 10, because the oldest update for Animate available doesn't support Windows 8/8.1.

     

    So my only solution was to install Windows 10, which I did, and now I use Animate everyday 🙂
