I need help in finding where and how to download ADE 3.0.

    Correct answer John T Smith

    Adobe removed old links from public view https://theblog.adobe.com/changes-to-creative-cloud-download-availability

    -also read https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-limits-software-downloads.html

    How to get a previous version... Read reply #10 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2620448

    -Also read https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html

    -And https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-downloaded-file-app.html

    -OR... Go to https://www.adobe.com/about-adobe/contact.html

    -click on the Chat bot on the bottom right hand corner of the first screen

    --the chat bot is the circle with a funny looking box with 3 dots inside

    -click on Downloading or Installing, then type Agent

    Do NOT let the support agent tell you to come to the forums for help... no user in a public forum has access to Adobe's internal links, you MUST obtain the program and update links from Adobe support

    AND when you finally do have a download link, be sure to copy every file you download to an external drive (or 2 or 3) so you never have to hunt for download links if they are moved again... also make a text file containing ALL of your serial numbers and copy that file as well

    The links from the Digital Editions download page where it says Download Digital Edition 3.0 here still work, you just have to scroll down the page to find them.

    When I click on 3.0 here on that page, I get taken to a troubleshooting page, so does not work for me.  I have removed all files/programs/etc that have ADE in them. Going to see if my Geek Squad people can do something about getting a working ADE on my nook (which is very old version, and maybe that's why 4.5 wouldn't ever work on it???)  So ticked, tho.  All the books I was waiting for 6 months for that I had on hold via Overdrive.com have come and gone.  Still have about 100 books on nook that I "own" that I can read, they are just not as entertaining as books by well-known authors.  Blessings to all!

    If you still need this info...

     

    Here you go! This is for a Mac and it worked for me TODAY for an old desktop Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6 and an old Kobo GLO HD:

    I followed the instructions at the link below (the page includes the above download link and a link for PC):
