Hi @Ryan24110573ur9f,

Thanks for reaching out. I would suggest you reach out to your IT Team and confirm if they have an active subscription or if they are using an older Creative Suite. If your company has an active Creative Cloud subscription, then as @Ton Frederiks suggested, you can download Illustrator from the Creative Cloud Desktop app, but if they have purchased Creative Suite years ago for Windows only and not for Mac, then you won't be able to install it.

We are here to help. We just need more info.

You can use the CC version on your mac as well as windows. Use the CC ap to install it.

Unfortunately, I work for a graphic design company and they just provide us with Illustrator since that's all we need, so we don't have Creative Cloud.

But Illustrator is currently only available as a CC version.
