After Effects previous versions

[the_6171]

I recently subscribed to after effects and when I opened it, it said some plugins were not compatible with my version of after effects (2024). However I cannot find after effects 2023 anywhere, even when I navigate to previous versions, the oldest version they give me is the first 2024 ae version. Does anyone know how I can download after effects 2023? Would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, but there is no legal download for 2023.

Try updating or upgrading your plugins.

This is a terrible policy.

There are lots of prefectly valid reasons for needing older, outdated versions of the program. Not the least of which, plug in manufacturer's don't support these older plug ins. (i.e. Red Giant Keying Suite).

If I have to go open an older project from 2019 (it happens), there is literally no easy way to do it if I don't have that older version on my machine. I recently had a machine go bad and could not restore the hard drive, even from my back up. That whole project is gone now and can not even be launched into the new versions.
