Where can I download old versions of Adobe Digital Editions?

I used to be able to find them here: https://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html 

 

And I checked here: https://www.adobe.com/ca/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html which appears to maybe be a newer version of the first site but even though it listss "download Digital Edition 3.0 here" the link just takes me to a Adobe Digital Edition Learn and Support page: https://helpx.adobe.com/support/digital-editions.html 

 

I used to regularly use the older versions (3.0 and 2.0.1) to troubleshoot errors customers (I work at a library) had so I'm curious if this is still a possibility. 

 

Thanks for any insights!

Seems you can just edit the version number in the 4.5 url and you will get the older versions...4.0 or 3.0

I needed to move back to 4.0 to get my Kobo Glo working again for library downloads

    Thank you! Too bad it doesn't work for 2.0.1 but chances are I don't want to direct folks back to that old of a version anyway. I'll keep 4.0 in mind as well for troubleshooting considering how it helped you.

    Actually, at the time of writing this, Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) version 2.0.1 may be downloaded by altering the link that @B27847868b2bx provided by simply replacing the 3 with a 2.

     

    Here are download links that I found to work as of posting this. I included the SHA1 hashes as well for furure reference, in the event these links do not work in the future.

     

    ADE 2.0 (2.0.1)
