Hello everyone,

We apologize for this inconvenience and understand how important it is for you to have Illustrator available on your Microsoft Copilot+ PCs. We know you've been waiting a long time for this. This version of Illustrator is too new and is still a work in progress, which is why it is currently only available in English locales and runs in emulation mode.

Our product team acknowledges this issue and is working diligently to make it available in multiple locales as soon as possible.

I understand your eagerness for the fully functional AI version and plug-ins compatibility with the beta. Unfortunately, there's no official announcement on the release timeline yet. As soon as we have more information, we'll be sure to share it with the community.
 
Thank you for your patience!

Best,
Anshul Saini

Hi,

It's important to know the approximate date of arrival of Illustrator for Windows arm. Should we count in days or weeks? I bought an XPS 13 a month ago and still can't work with it. It's a little frustrating.

I don't see Illustrator or InDesign available as beta apps. Please stop doing silly regional or other restrictions - my system (Surface Pro 11 with Snapdragon Elite) is in Danish, but I'm perfectly capable of using AI in English. That's for me to decide, not you!

@Srishti Bali Care to comment on why most users can't see the beta you claim to have released? Otherwise, the only conclusion is that you lied about launching Illustrator and InDesign for ARM in July. Which you kind of did anyway, because you did not state it would be launched as a beta. You've had years to test and develop for Windows on ARM, you should just have been able to launch the product - as was promised. Affinity managed to launch their entire suite on day one after all...

What the hell does that mean? I bought a subscription for a year (paid monthly), I was supposed to have ILLUSTRATOR beta available, and I only have photoshop BETA available. I have to work through the web - illustrator. This is maximum audacity! Are you a huge company and lying about your released product?! How can you afford it, you have the most expensive subscriptions for one application on the planet and you're lying?! When will you finally dare to release a version for ARM CPU? We are in the 21st century, ARM CPUs are replacing intel and amd in laptops and you don't even have a stupid beta released for users? Your web application is absolutely unusable, it keeps crashing...

I have also recently got a ARM machine. There is NO WAY we can do professional work with the web version. Its not a solution. This is a serious matter. We are doing serious work for clients here. Please confirm when are you givining us the ARM version, FULL VERSION?? This is not acceptable. I am sure you all know this is unfair and WRONG. The R&D team at your end should have been well aware in advance the ARM Processors are in the making and the architecture they would support. Looks like you didnt do your homework and we are getting punished. Not acceptable. DO SOMETHING. NOW.

@Srishti Bali Also, a further lie. You claimed that these versions would be ARM-native, as Photoshop currently is. But now you write that they run through emulation. Why would a new version be needed for that? The existing release version would be able to run emulated, if you didn't actually block it. The beta should be ARM native, as you promised.

Same problem here. The Illustrator Beta version isn't showing up on the Creative Cloud desktop app (ARM). It works fine on regular intel-based devices.

@Srishti Bali Hello, no comment? All apps work for me on snapdragon (MS copilot PC), either emulated or native. Why not yours? And while we're on the subject. I pay monthly for illustrator, which supposedly works on copilot pc, and I have nothing, the only thing I can do is start a website - illustrator, which almost doesn't work at all and keeps crashing, I refuse to pay such high subscription fees for this garbage, I ask for it to be canceled for myself and others pre-knitted, web-illustrator is a partial salvation, but not full-fledged, give us back the money and give us free subscriptions to your stupid web-illustrator, until you solve your OWN problem and lies

I can see the InDesign beta but I can't see the Illustrator beta in my Creative Cloud. My language is set to English in both the OS and Creative Cloud Desktop. The fact I can see InDesign tells me I should see Illustrator too, since that is also limited to English... why can't we download Illustrator?

@Srishti Bali, Could you please chime in and share your thoughts on the problem many have reported here? For whatever reason, we are not able to install Illustrator Beta on a Windows (ARM) device, and nothing can be tested.

I think I figured it out. I have access to our enterprise console and tried to create the beta package, but Illustrator beta is only available in x64 and NOT x86, which it specifically says is the version that's compatible with ARM (Snapdragon). So, we need the x86 beta available. I hope someone at Adobe can help with this. @Srishti Bali

I have lost my hope now and switched to Corel Draw. A huge brand 'Adobe' couldn't make an application for arm64 devices. I can't use Illustrator and Indesign on my Snapdragon X device. There is no official announcement yet. What a shame!

Just writing to add that my experience matches what everybody else is stating. I even uninstalled all Adobe Apps including Creative Cloud to give it a clean install, but no Illustrator (Beta) available to download. Also, if I App is opened in browser and the "Get Desktop App" button is used from there, it attempts to install but ends up stating:" Illustrator is not yet available for your device".

 

With the web app being extremely unstable, my projects are currently on hold and I'd appreciate any update/help.
