Need to install Illustrator 2015

I want to install Illustrator 2015 but it is not showing up as expected in the CC Desktop app. I downloaded and can run 2017 thinking that I would need to do this in order for 2015 to show as a "previous version". I have done this on half a dozen other machines but the contextual menu I expect to see under previous versions for Illustrator is not showing up in CC. Am I missing a step on this one workstation? Running Mac Mini Yosemite OS currently.

    Yes, I understand that previous versions aren't always apparent in the CC desktop app. I did have to download the uninstaller and installer so I could reinstall the CC desktop app. This made it so the contextual menu would show up for the previous versions and allow me to install 2015.

    Thanks for the help kglad.

    if you have a trial, you can't access previous versions.

    because you're an acp i assume you have a subscription.  if so, sign out and then back in to your cc desktop application using the same adobe id used for your subscription:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

    just to make sure you're checking the correctly for previous versions: just past the 1/2 point down the page is a walk-through showing how to install previous versions, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/download-install-app.html
