Older version of apps

It would be so nice if Adobe could include some major previous releases of all heavy apps, like Premiere Pro, such as version 9.2 in particular. It's time to upgrade the PC, but it takes time and costs money. Having the ability to get older apps, would be a very nice thing to be able to continue with the projects or study the app. Thanks.

Sorry, but the version availability restriction is permanent due to reasons that are related to license and support restrictions from all of the third-party companies that provide the Adobe apps' default (included) plugins which provide the apps' functionality–in other words, Adobe was forced to completely withdraw all of those older versions of apps because the third-party companies had completely banned the availability of any no-longer-supported (or obsolete) versions of their plugins, and by extension any version of the apps from every single software company that included such obsolete versions of the plugins.

 

Adobe could have reverse-engineered or included plugins of its own creation, but that would have astronomically increased the subscription costs to stratospheric levels (as in the cost of a single-app subscription would have cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per subscriber per month instead of the current $25 per month (including taxes).
