Requesting Installer for After Effects 2022 Compatible with macOS Big Sur

I’m currently using a 27-inch iMac (Late 2014) running macOS Big Sur (11.7), which is the latest version supported by my system. I would like to install After Effects, but the Creative Cloud app only offers the latest version, which requires macOS Monterey or later.

Since my Mac can't officially upgrade beyond Big Sur, I’m looking for a way to download After Effects 2022 (version 22.x) — the latest version compatible with macOS 11.

Could someone from Adobe please provide a download link or help me access this version through my Creative Cloud account?

Thanks in advance!

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 (officially) available
