Adobe PHOTODELUXE 4.0 Home Edition Installation Media

My wife misplaced the installation disk for her Adobe PHOTODELUXE 4.0 Home Edition that she got a million years ago.  I asked her to use GIMP instead, but she insists on wanting to use this ancient software. Does anyone know a safe place to download the installation media for this arkane software?

 

She still has her serial number written down..so all I need is the installation files. I was hoping ADOBE would have an archive since this was their software...so far I have had no luck finding it.

 

Thanks

I am like your wife, I STILL use Adobe Photodeluxe 4.0.

 

Its easy to use and I don't need all the bells & whistles of newer softwear.

 

Anyway, you can buy a 4.0 disk on Ebay right now for $11.00

You should be cautious about downloading software via eBay vendors, it may include malware!

Have you tried contacting Adobe.  Users here are Photoshop users and don't work for Adobe.

Yes I did contact Adobe Support, they referred me to the forums...I explained that I'm looking for installation media but apparently they outsource their support to India, so they were less than helpful 😞

Even if I had a copy the the installation media it would not be legal for me to give you a copy.  The software is  Adobe's property. Adobe did not outsource support.  Adobe stopped marketing and supporting that product. It is no longer available from Adobe. Product End of life its dead and in its grave. If your media is dead and you do not have a backup copy. You wife can take it out on you if it was your job to backup her software.
