Can I not install AE 2021 anymore?

[defaultgfszhvirsget]

So,

My Creative Cloud app decided to auto update everything even though I had auto updates off.

In doing so, it deleted my AE 2021 and updated to 2022/2023.

Can I not get back AE2021? Some plugins I have only worked in that so wanted to keep it around for a rainy day.

I get discontinuing older versions, but 2 builds back seems a bit much to not let users download previous versions...

How to Get the New Adobe CC 2021 Direct Download Links

Reading the comments on that page, people are in the same boat as me.

Call Adobe, get the base version, not the most recent build of 2021.

How can they not send you the most recent build of a product thats what, 2 years old?

Yeah so just spoke with Adobe.

They provided me with a download link to the base version of 2021.

Why not have a download link to you know, the most recent updated version?

To drop support of a product 2 builds back has to be one of the worst ideas I've ever heard of.

People pay for a product, yet can't get the product they paid for.

Good ol' cloud services.
