Where can I download Photoshop CS4.

I bought It many years ago, the disk has seen better days.

And It's not registered here at adobe, I did try but It would not let me.

 

There was a few download links on the Adobe site at one point, but they are no longer there.

Is there a place, like an adobe affiliate that adobe endorses, where you can download Photshop CS4.

Correct answer John T Smith

For CS6 back to CS4 you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
-Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
--click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
--and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
---as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
-if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
-if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
--the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
-if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
-if you bought and lost a disc Adobe does not provide a replacement via download
-if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor

"I think you could give a direct answer at least, not from an idiot sheet."

The response was a thorough explanation which has been used many times by John on this forum.
We see many people ask the same question without searching the forum for the answer, so many of us keep a list of answers to copy and paste as it applies. John's reply answered your question, although it was a more thorough and correct answer that you were seeking.

It’s not a difficult question to answer.

 

As a response to go by, not all responses are an answer.

 

You coped and pasted that answer from a list didn’t you.

I think you could give a direct answer at least, not from an idiot sheet.

 

My response Is not hard, I took offence to your response...You could have made a little effort, before you posted your answer.

OK... the answer is no

 

You may not download from Adobe because you bought a disc

 

Official Adobe partners (such as Amazon) are not going to be able to provide a download if you did not purchase a download from that vendor so you have a link in a purchase history

 

If you do search and find a download, and it is not on an official partner's site, you run the risk of getting a hacked version that contains malware
