I know some designers that may not like this change. If it applies retroactively anyway (as in previous installations of say CC2014 or whatever are removed without consent). But then, I don't know what "Going forward...direct access" means.

Thanks for the link.

Just to clarify Mike, there are two exceptions to this change to the Creative Cloud applications:

  1. We can only use the current version of Acrobat, and
  2. We can use the last five versions of InDesign.

Beginning on May 8 of 2019, Creative Cloud (CC) subscribers are allowed to install the current version of InDesign (InDesign 2019, v14) and the prior version (InDesign CC 2018, v13) through the Creative Cloud desktop app.

If you would like to install InDesign CC 2017 (v12), InDesign CC 2015 (v11) or InDesign CC 2014 (v10) please contact the support team at Contact Customer Care so that a download link for the that version of InDesign can be provided.

If someone wants to use CS6 (v8), they need to use their perpetual license. The CC version of CS6 (v9) is no longer authorized.

Thanks, Barb. That information seems to expand on the Blog where it clearly doesn't include that information (excepting one's IT department which is me).

Whew! I don't need CC often, but when I do I most often need various past versions where certain plug-ins are needed but not updated anymore. I hope this procedure of contacting Adobe for previous CC versions goes both quick & smoothly.

Again, thanks. Mike
