Downgrade of Adobe subscriptions CC to Creative suite / prior versions

Question

Hello,i am a customer with en active Adobe Etla contract and use the Adobe Apps as subscription.Photoshop, Acrobat and co.i still have installations of old version of Creative Suite like Photoshop CS4, CS5, CS6. Acrobat X. I purchased perpetual Licences in the past but cant find them anymore. if the same user has an subscription licence of Photoshop or Acrobat Pro can he use it to downgrade those old versions of the same products?in Case of an audit, what would be the risk having those old versions CS4, CS5 or Acrobat X. Thank youRegards

this response is unrelated to teams/enterprise licensing and applies (afaik) to all unrestricted legitimate adobe subscriptions:

yes, you can use the older adobe versions (well, at least the ones with functioning activation servers - cs5, cs5.5 and cs6) with a current cc subscription even if you never had a license to the cs5, cs5.5, cs6 version.

the cc desktop app will detect the older app installation and take over its license. for the installation files, use prodesigntools.com. ie, most 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.
