Having trouble rolling back Dreamweaver CC version.

Current install is Dreamweaver 19.2, but we need to roll back to 2014 (V 15) or 2015 (V 16) so that the version matches the textbooks we have.   When I try clicking 'other versions' from the Apps menu it only shows (20.0) or (19.2.1).

That's right.  Owing to recent policy changes, Adobe took out legacy CC versions from the CC Desktop App.  

Enterprise or Team accounts should contact their IT admin.

 

Individual accounts should contact Customer Care and ask for the direct download link.  But I'm certain 2014 is no longer available.

If it's a single-user subscription, CC2014 is still available (from Adobe's servers), in a round-about way. You would need to go through ProDesignTools.com to get the download link.

Make sure to follow the "Note: Very Important Instructions" that tell you to go to a specific link on Adobe's site first. That sets a cookie so their site recognizes you and allows access to the download...

I'm not sure, but I suspect it's not something that will function with a volume license though. maybe it would.

    Jeff Wright told me 2014 is gone.

    Jeff may have been talking about one of the no-no versions of another program in the 2014 lineup.

    The DW .exe files are still available as of 12-2-19.

      As a follow-up to @Nancy_Oshea's response:

      If you do happen to get it restored, do take a look at your CC App Manager's preferences - you do have the ability to prevent the update cycles from removing/overwriting your old versions of applications in your collection.

      (I set mine to only update/overwrite particular apps which I know I won't need to access previous versions. I still have 6 versions of Dreamweaver installed on my Apple laptop.)

      Hope this helps! Make sure to press "✔ Correct Answer" on this post if this answers your question. Happy Creating!Anissa • @anissat
