Question

I can't install an older version Substance Painter 2025 on Steam.

I have purchased a Substance Painter 2025 subscription on Steam, but I need to install version 7.4.3. for learning purposes and to export my homework correctly to my teacher.

How can I install 7.4.3? Please help.

I know that older versions are being removed on Steam, but what should I do if I have already paid for a subscription? Maybe you can give me access to beta version 7.4.3?

Hi Kristina,

 

 

The update 7.4.3 is in Painter 2022, considering you have the 2025 edition, you can't rollback to a version prior to 2025. That being said, for students and teachers, the entire Substance Suite is available for free:
https://substance3d.adobe.com/education/

 

Therefore, I don't really see a reason to learn Painter with an outdated version.

While I understand the reason behind not being able to roll back to 2022 from 2025, how could you go to an older vision of the 2025 edition through Steam?
Often times keeping Substance Painter up to date isn't helpful, as Universities, Colleges, and Industry tend to lock down their version and batch update all of their systems at different points. Accessing older versions because of this is definitley required in order to be compatible across systems.

I don't really see a reason for Universities and Colleges to use outdated versions, considering they have access to free updated licenses, but this is an entire different topic.

 

For your specific case, you can download the education license mentioned in my previous message and rollback to the desired version with the Creative Cloud app.
