Download links for Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6

Does anyone have access to versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign that will work with my old computer's operating system? MacOS Sierra 10.12.6.

According to customer support, Adobe no long provides downloads compatible with older operating systems. Ridiculous. I pay for a creative cloud subscription, have a perfectly fine working MacBook, but am not considered worthwhile to work with by Adobe.

I did a system reset yesterday to refresh my computer and lost the older version of photoshop that I was given a special link to around a year ago. Now I can't do my work until I buy a new macbook? Rude.

Sincerely,

-A frustrated, disenchanted designer

Why did you not save your downloads to an external device?

According to this, everything before 2021 MAY have been removed... but, try the links for yourself

IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number if you have a serial number program

Thank you for the reply.

That's a good point to save a copy to an external drive. I saved the app files to my hard drive but they won't open after the system reset. I'm realizing I should have done more research first... Seems like I didn't save the right thing. What files exactly should I copy if I'm able to find a suitable version for my computer? I'll do some digging around in the link you sent. Thank you again!

I'm on Windows so I have no idea what to download for a Mac... but DO copy what you find to an external device

I use a Sata docking station and SEVERAL 'bare' drives for backup
