Install the older version via the Creative Cloud app and then grab the Pantone libraries from there. Pantone pulled out their libraries from Creative Cloud .

Once you have the libraries, store them in a dry place so you can add them if you need after every update.

Incase anyone needs more information this link explains all.

 

https://www.pantone.com/articles/faq/pantone-connect-adobe-faq#:~:text=Standardized%20pre%2Dloaded%20Color%20libraries,Pantone%20%2B%20CMYK%20Uncoated

 

 

After November 2022, the only Pantone Color books that will remain are:

  • Pantone + CMYK Coated
  • Pantone + CMYK Uncoated
  • Pantone + Metallic Coated

 

The solid books everyone uses are gone, unless you buy a Pantone book and go through a lengthy process to register & install. In my 35 years consulting at 1000s of different companies (mostly ad agencies), noone has ever used the Pantone+ books just the solid books.

How does one "grab the Pantone libraries"? How would they then be added to CC with each update?

You can copy them from an older install.
