Is it possible to download older versions of After Effects?

I downloaded the adobe master collection CS6 trial, and most of the products were able to download just fine except a few, some of which I didn't really care about, but After Effects was one of them unfortunately and that was one of the reasons I was downloading the collection. I looked at the system requirements and discovered that the only version my laptop could handle was CS4. Is it possible to download the trial version of this without downloading it from shady sites? I just need to try it out, although it would be nice if it was free now.

Thanks in advance.

Brendon.

You can download a 30 day time limited Trial version of After Effects CS4 here. After 30 days it will cease to function without a CS4 serial number, which you cannot purchase now if you don't already have one.

Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.

You can no longer purchase After Effects CS4 and it definitely is not available for free even though it's a superseded version. So you'll only get 30 days out of it.

I take it you're trying it because you have a 32 bit system?

Thanks, but none of the downloads are working. I just tried clicking the download trial version and it says

HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

It's not downloading anything. Are the servers down or something? Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
