    Windows 8 is not supported by the current subscription programs

     

    Adobe now offers the current and ONE older version via the online program manager
    .
    I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link

    No-can-do.  Sorry.

     

    Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

    • Windows 10 versions 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909 (LTSB branches are not supported;)
    • macOS 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 10.16 or 10.15 (Catalina).

    You need to upgrade to Win10.  Creative Cloud won't run on Win8 or 8.1.
