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.

    This is for a Mac and it worked for me at the end of 2022 for a desktop Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6 and an old Kobo GLO HD:

    https://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg

     

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

    https://confluence.demarque.com/confluence/cantook-station/en/guides-de-demarrage/lire-sur-une-liseu...


    Sadly, I can't open the application after downloading... I get an error saying 'The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.'. How did you get around this? Thanks.
