Workarounds for installing older versions of Animate

[erQ]

We have a number of projects made with Animate 2018 or earlier. Opening these projects in Animate 2019 or newer usually breaks things. Has anyone figured out a way to install Animate CC 2018 now that Adobe has discontinued support for installing these older versions?

Hi - You can get 2018 version from https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-apps-download.html#creative-cloud-2018-ap... 

Thanks!

Same question here, but a year later 🙂

Your link doesn't mention Animate, and our team needs 19.*, could you help us out?

Thanks in advance.

Download AA19 from here:

That's much MUCH appreciated, thanks!

Do similar links exist for other Animate versions?

Thanks again, great help.

[n. tilcheff]

Glad I could help, mate.

Keep the installer. It is of AA19.0 unfortunately and not of 19.2.1 which has some important bug-fixes.

On the same site you will find AA18 links also. The rest have been killed.

After installing it I noticed it's 19.1; not perfect, but good enough 🙂

Is it possible to install even earlier versions? We would need Flash CC 2015 and Animate CC 2019 is currently the oldest available.

Thanks!

Is there any way of getting an Adobe Animate version that works on Windows 10 version 1709? My Creative Cloud Desktop app will not allow me to install the latest version and It has no alternatives for older version either. When I click on the three dots, all I get is "Learn more". Any body have any suggestions?

Solution does not work any more. The link gives no option for getting older versions of anmiate
