Reinstalling Premiere Pro 2020

Hello,

 

I completely forgot to click "do not uninstall previous version" when updating to Premiere 2021. I only wanted to test 2021 out. 

 

How can I get back to a 2020 version of Premiere Pro? There is no option for it and I know Adobe has the ability to get it back. It's just a matter of their willingness to allow reinstall.

 

Thank you.

Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
--only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
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

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).

Thanks for the reply.

 

I see what you're saying, but I need to get back to the 2020 version of Premiere Pro that I had before it updated and replaced it with the newest version. I made the mistake of not seeing the button that allows you to keep previous versions.

 

How can I get to an older version (even though 2020 is not even old)? Theres like only one older option and its still a 2021 version.. I don't want that. 

 

If anyone knows a way or who to contact, please let me know.

Thanks!

i see 19 versions available including the first 2020 version and all its updates.  otherwise, you must contact adobe support to get the link.  ie, they're not available on prodesigntools.com

 

using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

click contact us (= cryptic icon in the lower right)
