they Click Directly on the Update Button.

Whenever you want to get the New updates .. Always  Keep the Old Versions

1- Click on the Advanced Options

2- Uncheck Remove Old Versions

as Adobe Mentioned here its an  (  Advanced Options ) this is why Most of us left them as they are.

I have never Delete any older version since CC ever released in 2013  so whenever there is a bug in the Software i switch Back to older version

until Bug fixes release in the upcoming update.

Good tip, some don't realize that you can keep older versions on your computer. However, not everyone has the space to keep all of the older versions.

Luckily, it is safe to remove them and if they find the need to use an older version. They can install older versions as they are listed in the manager.

Edit -

Here is a screen capture of the manager for CC 2015

Looks like the history is one version old only, sorry...

You can install anything back to CS6. Just use the dropdown menu next to the Install button.

Ah ha, they changed it. I wasn't paying attention again. I thought it was odd I couldn't go back to CS6.

Can you get a 32-bit version this way? I have a plugin I use occasionally, that I know will never be updated to 64-bit.Or would I have to got the direct download route?

[Silkrooster]

This maybe worth testing, as I recall both 64 bit and 32 bit were installed together at one point. I don't recall what version the 32 bit was dropped. Is there even a 32 bit version now? or did they just make the installer OS bit aware?

I found the best way of installing previous versions by accident. I own the last disk version of Adobe CS6. I belong to CC now and also have a new machine so all that's ever been on it is CC 2017. I installed CS 6, now I have access to all the previous versions when I click on the previous button in the CC app.

How do you see the popup that has the Update, Cancel and Advanced Options buttons? When I click Update it just starts downloading.
