HELP!!! I have Yosemite operating system on my Mac. It's the highest I can go with my computer. I need to download an older version of Lightroom and photoshop. I have creative cloud. Is this possible to do? 
I am in the middle of trying to fulfill my photography obligations when my computer crashed because of these updates. I just had picked up my computer today. It's running great but I can't get anything to download from adobe.com. Wahhhhhh

Start budgeting now for a new computer that meets the current system requirements.

    gee thanks Nancy. 🙄  I just spent a few hundred dollars fixing my computer because the latest update of creative cloud crippled my iMac. It's running wonderfully now with the 2017 version. No need to buy a new computer for a couple of more years.

    You can hold off on buying another computer but Creative Cloud discontinued the legacy versions.  So if you have an old version you like, guard it with your life.

      Hi. You can find downloads for many apps going back to CC2017 (and CC2015.5 for some applications) at

      Take a look on the right side of the page for the Direct Download Links section.

        Thank You so much for the info. My computer was working, not too shabby for an older iMac. I stupidly did the Creative Cloud update not realizing that it was going to screw me up royally. If I had realized how much of a pain it was going to be I would not have spent money updating my computer, I would have looked into buying a new one. 
        Thanks again and Happy Holidays! 😊
