How can I get an older version of photoshop working from the files I have?

[mobbles1]

I just had to move my windows from my harddrive to my SSD which means that most of my applications dont work anymore despite the files not changing at all.

I have all the files for photoshop 2015 yet i cant get creative cloud to recognise them and if i try loading it via the application launcher it tells me the adobe application manager is broken and to go to a site via a dead link

http://adobe.com/go/applicationmanager

is there a way to get creative cloud to recognise the files?

thankyou

undo whatever you did to "move" files, and then properly install your adobe apps where you want using the cc desktop app.

FYI I can't access photoshop 2015 via adobe creative cloud, it doesnt show up at all despite the files being in the adobe folders. i cant do anything related to reinstalling/ looking at settings via creative cloud.

1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesign tools.com*.

3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links.**

* most (but not all) adobe download links 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.

** there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone and twitter:

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies, and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

phone:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

twitter:
tweet @AdobeCare

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam,

Take a look here: Adobe CC 2015 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2015 Release | ProDesignTools

I'll recommend to save the download files on an USB stick, hard drive or CD/DVD, but it isn't sure how long these links are available.
