    Thank you jeff that was helpfull

    I wish i could find a store or anything that still have these version, they're actually hard to get.


    They are hard to get indeed. Our company used to be the sole Adobe distributor in the Middle East, we aren't allowed to sell any thing prior to Adobe CS6, we destroyed all installer medias (DVDs) since Winsoft is no more licensed to develop Adobe products for the Middle East.

    Adobe didn't actually sell the ME versions, they were sold by WinSoft.

    Wisoft was a partner with adobe and was responsible for translating Adobe Software into Arabic.

    When an app is a little bit old, sometimes a shop has old copies. But these apps are in some cases nearly 20 years old, replaced 20 years ago! No shop would keep them that long, it’s like finding a 100 year old car.

    In in many cases current subscription products have ME support.

    Outdated software is like yesterday's newspaper.  People don't save them, they throw them away. Even if you could find them it's unlikely they would work unless you have a very old computer, too.
