  1. Hi, I couldn’t get the link File 1 for Adobe After Effects CS4 to download. It keeps saying page not found. Can you help me, or maybe check that the link is still current. Thanks

    • Yes, all is well Jenny and the direct links above continue to test and work fine on our end… Make sure you are carefully following the download instructions given in the article, or trying with a different browser, computer, and/or Internet connection (no Wi-Fi).

      If still no luck, then see Kate’s earlier comments, the things she tried, and the series of replies which follow – and hopefully that will get you going.

  2. I too keep getting the 404 error, no matter what I do. I can’t even get to the login problem Kate experienced and commented about. I do have an Adobe login already… I just need this 32-bit version until I can get my new laptop with a 64-bit OS so I can get CS6… have a video project due tomorrow and the computer lab at school has been closed all weekend! Halfway to major freak out. Going to keep looking since I can’t get this to work for me :(

    • Sorry to hear you’re having difficulties Amber… You could also try clearing your browser cache and cookies and then redownloading, or possibly creating another/new Adobe ID account and giving that a shot. Good luck!

  3. Hmm… I’ve tried downloading file 2 for the CS4 Master Collection (the .7z archive) multiple times, and every time, it is corrupt. Does anyone else have this problem, and, if so, know a fix for it?

    Reply
    • That does occasionally happen Garrett, particularly if your Internet connection is not as strong as some for these large files… See the suggestions given to Jenny in the comments just above.

  4. I’m trying to download CS3 Photoshop and Illustrator but I keep getting a 404 error when I click the trial. Is there any way of fixing it soon, cause I need both for my college work outside of the college computers. Help would be appreciated

    Thank You

    • Hey there Gemma, there’s nothing wrong – just make sure you are carefully following the instructions in the article and tips to other commenters above, and then if you continue to have difficulties try a different browser, computer, Adobe ID login, or Internet connection.

      If still no luck, then see Kate’s earlier comments, the things she tried, and the series of responses following – and hopefully that will take care of things for you.

  5. I try to download CS4 Production Premium > File 1
    and Firefox 15.0.1 gives me this answer:
    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

    how can I solve it?

  6. a while back i installed a photoshop cs3 trial that i had got from school, purchasing an activation code seems like chasing a ghost – where can i purchase an activation code, and if some of the software was uninstalled how can i fix it?

    • Welcome Claudia, as you note these downloads above are only trials which can be very useful in some cases – but if you would like to buy the full version of Photoshop then you should get the new CS6 instead – Adobe does not sell old releases.

      But that’s good because Photoshop CS6 is a far better product anyway – and you won’t put yourself in the extremely risky and difficult situation of trying to find a safe and legit older version.

  7. Hi, I have my original discs of CS Premium with Serial #, which I have been running all these years on a G4.

    I had to reinstall the OS and was going to re-install CS, but the installer Disc 1 is cracked though the disc and I need to find a way to work around this, do any of these files above work for this?

    • Greetings Linda, when you say “CS Premium” do you mean CS1 from 2003? No, sorry but we don’t have links for anything that old – CS3 here is the furthest back, although you could try digging around on Adobe’s public FTP site which contains some really old stuff, but that’s for advanced users only.

  8. please, i need to download the adobe photoshop cs4 free trial, and i am trying more and i can’t download

    I need help from your team,

    thanks,
    best regards

  9. Can someone please help. Downloaded Premiere CS4 no problem. But when I hit the icon on my Mac to launch Premiere Pro, i get this message and it won’t open:

    /Ironisde/4.0/MediaCore/ASL/Foundation/Make/Mac/../../SrcDirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]

    Any ideas please, need this for a project, thank you

  10. Thanks for link but I had seen that one already and removed some programs that it may be conflicting with.

    Can’t use the CS6 trial as I’m on a 32-bit laptop unfortunately.

  11. Okay, i know i’ve commented before about not being able to download cs3 products but i’ve followed the instructions but it still doesn’t work and i can see i’m not the only person having problems. I’ve downloaded photoshop cs3 for mac back in September and it worked fine … but now its getting ridiculous! Since i’m a student i cant afford to buy cs3, i need the trials. So something is wrong on the server, it’s nothing to do with my mac.

  12. Hi,
    I’m sticking with cs3 and not cs6 is because I’m being taught in cs3 as my college isn’t able to afford cs6. I’ve tried cs6 and I was more confused than anything. So when I’m being taught in cs6 is when I’ll start using cs6.

  13. What a life saver! Thanks a million for putting up these trial links! Adobe finally pulled these downloads off of our purchased content in our “purchased history” only to leave us the serial numbers. I called support and talked to live chat with no help. Someone on the forums led me here. You guys just saved my bacon!

    • Sure, glad to be of assistance. Adobe will keep the links available in your online account for three years, so ideally everyone should download and store an offline copy of their software for permanent backup and archival purposes.

      But not everyone is aware and inevitably some folks slip through the cracks, so we’re happy to help out where we can here.

  14. I am trying to download CS4 Web Premium but keep getting the following error:

    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

  15. Hello!
    I am trying to install CS4 Design Premium.
    Followed instructions, no problem clicking the links… except that “File 1” in the downloads list won’t download. It appears in my downloads folder with the bar underneath…and makes no progress.
    “File 2” downloaded just fine.
    Any thoughts?

    • Not sure why that would happen Nicole… You could clear your browser cache and cookies and then give it another go, or perhaps easier, just try a different browser or computer.

  16. Aha… so I’ve tried it in freshly-downloaded Firefox, (using a brand new Mac), and am prompted upon downloading files…. it says the file is 4.6GB? Yet when I download it, it “instantly” downloads, (along with a matching “.part” file), but clicking on the DMG it is “not recognized”.
    (File 2 opens just fine)

    Pulling my hair out.. even if I did find my old discs, new Mac doesn’t have an optical drive to read them.

  17. Update: I tried downloading it in Firefox rather than Safari, and was prompted about the download… 4.8GB…!

    It took a good long time to download, but alas, I am successfully running setup!
