Looking for After Effects CS6 SDK

[kgcode]

I have been searching the Adobe site in vain for the After Effects CS6 SDK, but it appears to have been taken down.

I actually had this file before, but due to a hardware failure, I no longer have the file and wanted to download it again.

I found this link: https://www.adobe.com/devnet/aftereffects/sdk/cs6.html

and followed it to: https://www.adobe.com/content/acom/us/en/devnet/aftereffects/sdk/cs6_eula

but that page is no longer there.

I tried Adobe chat, but most of the folks I've chatted with don't seem to know what an SDK is, and those that do have not been able to point me to it.

Does anyone know where I could download the file Adobe After Effects CS6 SDK?

Thanks.

All licenses for Creative Suite have been revoked for legal reasons. The software (including SDKs) is no longer available to the general public. You may be able to plead your case with Adobe Customer Care, but don't expect to get anywhere fast. As far as Adobe is concerned anything older than last year's Creative Cloud simply does not exist. You really should not be developing for an edition which is no longer licensed for use.

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of the recent change in licensing of older versions.

A client of mine is using CS6 and won't move to CC as long as CS6 works for them. They refuse to enter into any software subscription (e.g., they still buy full retail versions of Office). They also have told me they have invested in a large number of commercial and custom plugins, and don't want to upgrade all of them either. They asked me to develop a custom plugin for them, specifically for CS6. I have told them about the CS6 license revocation, but they won't budge. I guess I'll just let them know I can't help them, and suggest they either move to CC or find a developer who happens to still have the CS6 SDK.

I was told in a chat by an Adobe representative that the file is no longer available, and the client gig is not worth the hassle, so I am ending my quest for this SDK.
