I know some designers that may not like this change. If it applies retroactively anyway (as in previous installations of say CC2014 or whatever are removed without consent). But then, I don't know what "Going forward...direct access" means.

Thanks for the link.

Just to clarify Mike, there are two exceptions to this change to the Creative Cloud applications:

  1. We can only use the current version of Acrobat, and
  2. We can use the last five versions of InDesign.

Beginning on May 8 of 2019, Creative Cloud (CC) subscribers are allowed to install the current version of InDesign (InDesign 2019, v14) and the prior version (InDesign CC 2018, v13) through the Creative Cloud desktop app.

If you would like to install InDesign CC 2017 (v12), InDesign CC 2015 (v11) or InDesign CC 2014 (v10) please contact the support team at Contact Customer Care so that a download link for the that version of InDesign can be provided.

If someone wants to use CS6 (v8), they need to use their perpetual license. The CC version of CS6 (v9) is no longer authorized.

Barb, I can only see my latest version CC2019 (14.0 and 14.0.1), but no CC2018. I have CC2018 (v13.1) installed already, but it doesn't give me any prior version listed like v13.0. I don't want to delete it to see what happens but it would be a nightmare if you can't get at least easy access to the prior version. When doing a big document, you don't want to switch in the middle of it to the next version, but on the other hand, if you want to start new project on the new version, you need both installed, so if it can't be done easily, this will become very messy very quickly. We still use CC2014 for one client because of one plugin (blacklining) which only runs on that version, the developper seams to be IMA so no possibility to update it.

I hope I won't have a machine crash and have to reinstall Adobe software! This is NOT good for IT people.
