can i still install After effects 2021 somehow?

[juliant93480175]

helo,

i got an iMac with High Sierra, and its not possible to update it anylonger apparentely.

so I also cannot install after effects 2023 as it would require a higher version of macOS.

BUT can I install after effects 2021 somehow? it is not in the list of older versions in my creative cloud window. Is there another way to find it?

right now i got ae 2020 and that is a problem for me, as I would need motion4 for work and motion4 needs ae2021 or higher.

very thankful for any help.

1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesign tools.com*.

3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links.**

---------------------------------------------------------------
* most (but not all) adobe download links are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

follow the directions (esp, step 1)

save the install file. it may not remain online.

** there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone and twitter:

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies, and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

phone:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

twitter:
tweet @AdobeCare

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam,

or use wayback.org

[Russ-JustWantsToEdit]

Thank you, SMU seems helpful but the download links dont work. Unsure what this wayback.org site is actually doing, doesn't seem legit.

use a different browser, eg firefox

[Russ-JustWantsToEdit]

Thank you again for the suggestion. The Wayback site seems to be dead. I tried on three browsers and get the same result

wayback works for me with chrome.  smu works with firefoo op x

[Russ-JustWantsToEdit]

The SMU website works but the links do not go anywhere. Cannot download anything. Wayback does not work for me in any capacity. Please let me know if you want to send me the installers for After Effects 2020 and media Encoder 2020. I have Adobe account just cant get the installers 😞

for smu use firefox
