    I also need 2023 (V27) for a plugin - and I accidentally selected to "uninstall old versions" when I installed 2026 😞 

     

    I looked in the CC app but the farthest I can go back is 2024 (V28). There is a "View More" option but Illustrator is not available on that page or anywhere else I can find on Adobe's site. 

     

    Greatful for any help!

    Did you manage to find a fix for this? I am having the same problem. I need cutting master 4 for Ai 2023 or 2022.

    If you have the Plugin files from a older installation of cutting master, you can cut and paste them into the plugin folder and cutting master 4 will still work with the newer versions of illustrator.  I have done it quite a few times.  You still want to install Cutting Master 4 on your computer, but it just doesnt find the illustrator plugin folder and wont ask to install it.  so I just cut and paste it and it works.  Hope that helps.  If you need the actual plugin files, I can email them to you.

    Please help as we having issues.

    Unable to locate illustrator 2023 on the Adobe Cloud.

    Illustrator 2024/25 does not support Cutting Master 4.

    How to get the actual plugin files or older version of illustrator 2023?

    Does the window come up blank, or nothing happens, after choosing older versions? Do you have multiple displays? What OS version are you running?

    Try restarting your computer and closing all other apps.
