Hello, I just wondered if there´s any way to dowload the previous versions of adobe programs on the new upgrade of adobe creative cloud?

Yes there is. At least the last 1 to 2 versions back.
In the CC desktop App you have to turn on the option to show previous versions.
Use the Gear icon in the CC DTA tool bar to bring up the Preferences.
Clicking that gear icon brins up the Preferences window. Go to the Apps tab and scroll down to settings and there you will find the option to show older apps. Turn that on then to be safe restart everything.
Then after you have restareted (you may not need to but is is always a goo idea) and you go to the CC DTA next to all the App boxes you see 3 DOTS. Clicking that will show you a menu that has "Other Versions" option. Clicking that will bring up a dialog box listing the older, Previous, versions you can install for that particular program.

@wilder_bolaños Do you mean an older version of Creative Cloud manager (the app)? Because for me, there's no such option at all even though I had previous versions installed... 🤔

Which operating system do you have?
If you have Win10 64-bit or Mac High Sierra or higher, you only get the latest CC Desktop app version 5.0.0.354. There is no downgrade option for CC Desktop App.

Oh well. I'm on 10.15.3 Catalina. Case closed then *sigh*

What is Creative Cloud Manager?
Are you referring to the Creative Cloud Desktop app?
As shown in the screen shots I posted?
If so there is No Older versions available for that. Every time a update or upgrade for that app comes out and you install it the older version is removed and can not be reinstalled.
May I ask "WHY" you want an older version of the CC DTA????

Wait what? No! X) I asked about the desktop app because it looked like that's what Wilder was talking about in his earlier sentence ("I just checked and it still works, but only an older version"). I'm looking for an older In Design version that was compatible with some advanced scripts we use and I used to be able to revert every time an update was applied willingly or unwillingly, but now there's no option for that anymore. I didn't notice when it changed and what made that change happen.

That change happened last May when Adobe revised their version policy. If you want pre-2019 versions, they are difficult if not impossible to find now.
Some of these still work to download the original CC 2015 installers but Adobe may remove the links at anytime. Be sure to follow the VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS or you will get Access Denied errors.
