ebrahimzahran,

 

Two suggestions in light of not being able to download the installer are:

 

1. If you have dvd with pre 8 then buy or borrow an external dvd drive

 

2. Find a used copy somewhere, although there are certain risks involved like possible malware that someone

   purposely put on the dvd.

>Find a used copy somewhere

 

Is that version old enough that it does not require a license transfer?

 

Transfer (selling or giving your software away) https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
-you may NOT sell or transfer an Education serial number
-you also may NOT sell/transfer if you used a program as the basis to buy an upgrade at a reduced price

A good question.

If the op has his/her original serial number for pre 8 would they still need to do the license transfer?

What operating system do want to install Premiere elements 8  on?

 

Maybe you can download Premiere elements 8 from your Adobe account:

    It seems that Adobe has removed that VERY OLD program from their system

     

    Since the Prodesign links go to Adobe's servers you can't download something that isn't there

    I have no way to know who or how many people write/update the MANY pages at ProDesign so my best GUESS is that old pages leading to old programs are not updated very often... so when Adobe removes file(s) from the server nobody at ProDesign is going to know until the problem is reported in a message like this

     

    And, of course, ProDesign is only reporting what is/was with no way to make Adobe put file(s) back on the server

     

    That is why, when I send someone to ProDesign to find an old program, I always say to copy the file to at least one external device (multiple copies are better) in case they have a computer problem and go back to ProDesign to find that the file is no longer available


    jim ( @ProDesignTools ) will respond, i think.

    for the current and one previous versions use the cc app:

     

    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html#:~:text=Install%20Previous%20Versions%20of%20your%20Creative%20Cloud%20Apps,drop-down%20list%2C%20click%20Other%20Versions.%20Does...%20See%20More.

     

    for cc 2019 and earlier use prodesigntools.com*

     

    for everything else, you must use adobe support** (and it may take a few tries to find an agent to provide links).

     

    *

    adobe download links prior to cc 2020 are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

     

     

     

    follow the directions (esp, step 1)

    save the install file.  it may not remain online.

    thank jim @ prodesigntools.com
