Older versions of adobe animate

Mr.Yello Larva, 

When navigating the cloud for newer, but previous incarnations of the software, the process is straightforward enough. Bear in mind, though, that these versions only go back so far. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html?sa_src=AVA_JC_Bot-Eng-DISU.HowToDownload.PreviousVersion-SSWF10-CCI-Msg#sa_src=web-messaging  

And as kglad mentions, truly legacy versions are available on prodesigntools.com

you can with an active subscription, but you can't currently download either.

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 prodesigntools.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.

** this support is currently not available. ie, there's a significant gap (between 2019 and last year) in the available previous versions.

opposition to this decision (to limit available previous versions) has been conveyed to adobe officials who are therefore aware of the problems caused by this policy. however, unless/until changes are made, nothing can be done to legally access these files.
