Does CC14 offer downgrade rights

[lieveg16425331]

I am a licensing specialist and I am trying to find out if CC14 offers downgrade rights meaning if you buy a CC14 subscription but use an older version of creative suite under this license. I can see that the users dashboard offers the possiblity to download version CS6 but when I read the manual how to install it says the following:

From your Adobe Creative Cloud application, you can install an earlier version of Adobe’s applications (assuming you have a license that is registered using the same Adobe ID), in addition to the CC versions. To do it, make sure you have the latest version of the Creative Cloud app itself. At the top of the window showing the applications you can install you’ll see a dropdown labeled Filters. Simply choose “Previous Version” (pictured below) and — if your previous version is registered to the same Adobe account as you are using for the Creative Cloud — you’ll see the option to install the earlier version of the application.

This suggests that if you want to download CS 6 from the Creative Cloud download portal, you actually need a license for CS 6 that is registered to the same user ID as your subscription. The question is can I use CS6 instead off CC 14 under a CC14 subscription that is registered in my name? And a second question I have is, is it possible to use even older versions with a CC14 license? e.g. CS5 or CS5.5.

I really cannot find any decent information on downgrade rights.

Thanks a lot!

Moving this discussion to the Enterprise Deployment for Creative Cloud, Creative Suite forum.

Lieveg16425331 depending upon the agreement your organization made with Adobe will depend on if you have access to utilize the Creative Suite 6 software titles with your membership.  As a test you can download the installation files for Creative Suite 6 from Download CS6 products.  You will be given the option to enter your Adobe ID.  If the software launches fully activated and licensed then your membership plan includes Creative Suite 6.

You may also want to work directly with your program administrator to determine what was purchased.

But if you want to install CS6, do you need an additional license for CS6, I mean in addition to your CC subscription?

"Do Creative Cloud members have access to previous versions of Creative Cloud apps?

Yes, you can install previous archived versions of the apps from Creative Cloud on your desktop, as well as from the Creative Cloud Desktop Apps page. Archived versions are provided “as is” and are not updated to work with the latest hardware and software platforms.

Currently, the CS6 and CC releases are archived and available. In some cases, more than one CC version of an app is archived and available."

Jewel Polyhen have you selected the Previous version option in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application?  You can find additional details at Download and install Adobe Creative Cloud apps.
