Installing/using Illustrator CS5 (15) to access Scriptographer plug-in

[Klаus]

Hi there!

As CC licensee, how can I install/use Illustrator CS5 (15)? Unfortunately its not included in the »Other versions« list which goes down to CS6 only.

Thanks!

This all is a bit too confusing for a simple Illustrator user like me, I guess 😞

CS6 was the first version available with Creative Cloud and it is still available to Creative Cloud users.
