Hi everybody !

I bought years  CS4 and still have the serie numbers. My new computer doesn't have a cd driver, can I find a way to download it somewhere ? for my first researche it seems quite unlikely : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html

Any ideas of an alternative ?

Many thanks,

Ingrid

Premiere/Photoshop Elements are serial number programs that are not part of a subscription

Hi Ingrid,

 

Look here to download non-subscription Adobe software - https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install/download-non-subscription-adobe-software/td-p/11919842

 

You need to download the correct version or your serial will not work. And well, you may encounter problems because of your modern system and OS, so there is no guaranty that the installation process still works.

Probably a great solution!

 

My new computer does not have a DVD neither. But I still have my Laptop with a DVD drive, and it is enough to copy the content of the DVD to a shared space, and you can install from there. No need to play DJ.

your account may have a link, if you purchased from or registered with adobe - account.adobe.com

 

or you can use prodesigntools.com, Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials - Direct Links (incl. AE) | ProDesignTools
