Dear,

I'm looking for download links to old versions of Lightroom/Photoshop, respectively v13.5 and v25.2. When checking old version Adobe Creative cloud only suggest the Lightroom classic v12.5.2 for macOS BigSur. I'm running with a MacPro and Monterey. the v13.5 / v25.12 seems to be the last one compatible with my configuration.

 

I tried different method to find an old version but Adobe do not list anymore all old version.

 

Could I expect some support and a link where to download Lightroom Classic v13.5 and Photoshop v25.12?

Thank you

    You can download and install only the current version and one version before. If you need an earlier version you have to contact Adobe and asking them for a download link.But it isn’t sure you’ll get it. 

    Contact Adobe support by clicking here,  https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

    In the chat field (lower right of screen) typing “Agent” into the chat text field will bypass the initial chatbot. Be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human. Explain why you need the old versions, and ask politely for the links.

    If you are not able to get to the chat window, then disable your ad-blockers, firewall, enable cookies/scripts on your browser. 

    But again: It isn’t sure that you get the link for an older and unsupported version of a Adobe application.

    If you get the links save the downloaded files for further use.

    I had a similar issue with an older Adobe version. If your Mac is only compatible with those releases, I’d check the Creative Cloud desktop app under Previous Versions first. If the specific version isn’t available there anymore, Adobe Support may be the best option rather than downloading an installer from an unofficial source.

    Monterey & Big Sur are no longer supported. Adobe expects customers to use supported operating systems no more than 2 versions back. You will need a machine that can run macOS 26 Tahoe, 15 Sequoia, or 14 Sonoma.  And next month, Apple is releasing another OS called Golden Gate which will effectively retire Sonoma. 

     

    Another option is to get yourself a decent Windows PC. Windows has a much longer shelf life than 1 year.

    @kglad I’ve try that for several links to download older files but it doesn’t work.

    I see the ProDesginTool website with the links. On click on the appropriate link it shows the following:

    I don’t see no 306 error.
