My After Effects 2023.3 has disappeared from my MacBook.

My After Effects 2023 23.3 that I have been using for ages is now gone, and it is only a gray question mark on my dock.  I have tried finding it in Creative Cloud but when I go to "older versions" it only goes back to AE 24.0. My plugins are not compatible with anything but AE 23, somebody please help me find a download for AE 23!

You probably didn't choose the option to not delete old versions when updating in the Creative Cloud app.

I don't know if it will work, but you can try to restore from a Time Machine backup.

that's no longer possible. 

 

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. no other versions are available
