Photoshop CS4 Extended Download

I reviewed the previous discussions and didn't see where I can download CS4 Extended. I have had CS4 for over 10 years and never heard of the Extended portion until tonight.

 

Is this something that I can download for free? I am interested in the 3D aspects. I followed several of the links on Adobe and the links from this discussion and didn't see where I could download it. Is it still available?

 

Does anyone have a verified and reliable link to where I can download CS4 Extended dor Windows 10? My CS4 is licensed and registered. Is there a fee associated with the Extended portion and if so, do you know how much it is?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Tom

    CS4 was released in October 2008. That's fifteen years ago. I'd say you've got your money's worth, and then some.

    @John Waller most likely cracked.


    Very certainly cracked. If the software "activated", as @Tomasz.Nowak says, it didn't do so in any legal/legitimate way - because there isn't one.

    Then it's Adobe to whom you should direct your remarks to tell them that they are wrong.

     

    Their own article here says CS4 cannot be reinstalled.

    @Jeffrey_A_Wright Any reason that this poster could install and activate CS4 when Adobe articles clearly say it is no longer possible?

      As you're probably now aware, back in the day CS4 was available in two versions: Standard and Extended. Extended cost more than Standard due to the extra features such as 3D.

       

      CS4 is now a dead product. Adobe shutdown the activation server nearly two years ago. Even if you could get hold of a CS4 Extended installer with a valid serial number, it can no longer be activated for use beyond the 30 day trial period.

       

      See the note on  Creative Suite 2, 3 and 4 at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html

       

      You'll have to keep your existing CS4 going for as long as your computer hardware will run it.

       

      Out of interest, Adobe is dropping 3D features from the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe suggests 3D artists subscribe to Substance instead.

         U N B E L I E V A B L E !   I spend so much money in this product. Now I was trying to go back and pursue my passion to find out that I can't use the product that I bought with my hard work. This is so disappointing.
