Older version of After Effects to open old file?

Community Beginner ,
Dec 05, 2012 Dec 05, 2012

I have tons of projects in After Effects 6.  One of the reasons I joined Adobe Cloud was because I want to update to OSX Mountain Lion and AE6 won't run on ML.  I just attempted to open one of my old projects, and get the error message "This file was created with an older version of After Effects [6.0(Macintosh PPC)], and can't be opened.  You can convert this file using an older version of After Effects and resaving."  Well, I only have access to my copy of AE6, is it possible through the Adobe Cloud to get a version of After Effects that will open these files so I can up-convert it?  Or any other method to get these files to open in the newest version of AE?  Re-building is not really an option, these are projects that are years old and are continually being updated with text.

Hello, I have a project that I had done in AE 3.1. Your chart says I need up open in 7.0 then I can open in CC. I think I have searched and looked everywhere and I can only find one link to dl 7.0 but it was for PC. Any ideas where I can find a copy of AE 7.0 so that I can open this project. Note: I do have an old Pod iMac in the basement with a PPC chip to install AE 7.0 on.

Just realized that AE 7.0 is actually in the CS2 suite. Just finished dl.
