Question

MacOS 10.13.6 - Can't find older versions of Photoshop, Premiere Pro etc. in Creative Cloud

Dear Creative Cloud Experts,

I recently purchased the Creative Cloud App Apps plan and would like to install older versions of Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effect on my 2010 MacBook Pro (latest MacOS is 10.13.6 and this laptop can't update further).

However, on Creative Cloud, for example, when clicking Learn More (see photo01 in the attachment), when I get to Photoshop, in Versions, it doesn't have older versions (see photo02 in the attachment). This is odd because there are several videos on YouTube that users can find older versions that are compatible in the older MacOS.

Where can I locate the older versions of Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effect on Creative Cloud so I can install them on my 2010 MacBook Pro?

Thank you!

    1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

    2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesigntools.com*.

    3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links**.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    * most (but not all) adobe download links are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

    follow the directions (esp, step 1)

    save the install file. it may not remain online.

    thank jim @ prodesigntools.com

    ** this support is currently not available. ie, there's a significant gap (between 2019 and last year) in the available previous versions.

    opposition to this decision (to limit available previous versions) has been conveyed to adobe officials who are therefore aware of the problems caused by this policy. however, unless/until changes are made, nothing can be done to legally access these files.

      Adobe now offers the current and ONE older version via the online program manager
      You must ask chat support for a link if you need to have any version 2020 programs
      Go here for all older links https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html
      Prodesigntools is an official Adobe partner, and the links go to Adobe, not a 3rd party site
      .
      Computer crashes happen... when you download a program make an external copy
      IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
      you should ALWAYS keep a copy (or two!) on an external device
      since Adobe DOES SOMETIMES REMOVE OLD VERSIONS FROM THE SERVER
      a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a CD or DVD
