Adobe - Bring Back "Don't Uninstall Old Versions" to CC2018

[dkatter219]

Adobe,

Please bring back the option to keep previous versions of apps to Creative Cloud.  I have kept those older versions this long for a reason.  I have a few legacy projects and plug-ins that didn't respond well to updating.  It is super handy to have access to previous versions on the rare occasion that I need to revisit an old project.  I even had the option selected to keep previous versions.  That option is now gone.    I went to reinstall a previous version as I have before and saw that I had to remove the new version to do this.  This is a huge bummer.

While I am looking forward to all of the great things in CC2018, my first feelings when encountering it are anger and frustration that purposefully organized software was remotely removed AFTER I had set a preference to keep it.   A change like this should come with at least a warning.

Again, Thanks for all of your great work and frequent updates, but please don't take away the option to keep previous versions.  They can be lifesavers.

you have to click 'advanced options' when updating (which is only available with major version updates like cc 2015.5 to cc 2018).

That option is there when updating...

Yes - WHY can't we keep the older versions we paid for! Especially when the newer versions are buggy and lacking features of the older version - IE Premiere 2025 will not relink media! So frustrating.

you can keep older versions.  but if you delete/uninstall an older version, adobe won't help you with an installation file unless it's a perpertually licensed app and you purchased from or registered with adobe.
