When I first tried these links they worked, I had some hard disk issues and reinstalled and need the download. But I get 404 on the links. I followed directions. Is this something on my end or in the links?
Using the newest Firefox.
They’re all still working fine on our end Bob – you might try a different browser (like Chrome) or computer.
Sorry, links still don’t work. I selected Web Premium CS3 on FireFox, Chrome, Safari and Explorer,
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I don’t like Chrome.
I figured out if I download another product (only tried trials), the the link will work.
Got Premiere downloaded last night.
Wondering what’s in the continued sections?
Thanks for the confirmation!
Yes, that’s Step 1 of the essential download instructions above. Glad you got it going.
guess I misread that in all my frustration or reinstalling everything.
so I got everything on and then get a software setup dialog in which my serial number for the product is being asked for – where do i get the serial number?
Hey there Dan, you don’t actually need a serial number to run the trial – just skip that screen and/or select the free trial option.
Where can I get a link for the trial version of CS5?
Right here:

Link for CS3 Standard file 2 did not work. Got the following error. Tried on IE 9 & on Firefox ESR verson 10.0.11.
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
Help Please!
Sure Jan, you just need to carefully follow the download directions in the post, no matter which browser you use.
When i download photoshop cs4 and run the setup.exe, i keep getting “The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.”
Hi Josh, please see this earlier response to Tiffany if that happens.
I am find my serial number doesn’t work with the individual download packages. I don’t see the eLearning Suite in your CS4 download series. Can you direct to me your area for that download? My machine was re-imaged and the IT team can’t find the software.
Yes, Jennifer – we do have some of those, but not on this page… See:

Hello
I need help, I am searching for InDesign CS2. thank you
Hello Clare, we don’t have any CS2 direct download links here, but if you really need it for some reason then you can try digging around for old programs on Adobe’s FTP server, though that’s really recommended for advanced users only.
Thank you for the link and quick response :) but you’re right I think it’s too advanced for me.
I think where is the Adobe GoLive CS3 (GoLive 9.0) direct download links! I cannot found them! Help!
Please help, too! I need the Adobe FrameMaker versions 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0, please! I can’t find them all! If you don’t help me find…
Sorry Roland, we don’t have any of those listed – they are either too old or uncommon… but if you find direct download links available for those tools, feel free to post them for others.
i accidentally saved the 7z files as a internet file and now it won’t open… i have windows 8
The other two exe files downloaded ok, and are now saved on the desktop once i opened them…. the 7z file tries to open and says that this file can’t be downloaded…
Help!
Hey there Kristy, not really sure what’s going on there – the extensions of your files define their type, nothing else.
If you saved a .7z file as something else, then just rename it back to restore its proper extension, and then run the .exe file. Or delete them and start your download process over again (if you’ve got an Internet connection of decent speed).
hey i downloaded file 1 and file 2 of the adobe after effects cs4… it is important to download a file 3 and file 4? how is it important? pls reply asap!! thanks!!
Welcome Erick, those additional file downloads are for the “extra content” associated with the tool… They’re optional but not essential – just nice to have if possible, things like templates, samples, footage, documentation, and the like.
Hi
How long can I use these trials for? and also, when I download InDesign CS4 I got Dreamweaver instead!
Thanks
Greetings Claire, all Adobe trial downloads will work fully for 30 calendar days on your machine. Not sure why you would have gotten Dreamweaver instead of InDesign, we just checked all those direct links and they are working fine and going to the correct products.
The .dmg for the Mac version of CS4 is corrupted
It sounds like you may have gotten a bad or incomplete download of the file William, which sometimes happens with these large files. We’d recommend giving it another try with a different web browser, computer, or Internet connection.
@ ProDesignTools
What are you talking about? “but if you find direct download links available for those tools,” They do not exist!
Actually they probably do exist Roland – you just would have to learn where they are stored on Adobe’s servers. We don’t have those paths here though at this time. You could try digging around on Adobe’s FTP server to see if you find what you’re looking for, there are some old releases stored there.
Thank you very much, Team ProDesign!
Your download of CS4 works pretty well, as described!
First time, the link didn’t work and I always got stuck on the landing page and refused by Adobe. Carefully reading and strictly observing your instructions would have helped save me a lot of time, but – my fault.
After reading your comments in this blog I started again to read the instructions on your site – several times! Sentence by sentence! Word by word, until I began to comprehend! It took me a little time, but now I’ve got it. It is really very interesting to learn how Adobe »ticks« and why one should better read between your lines, in this case. Thanks again from Germany.
Sure Thomas, that’s great – and thank you for your comment with explanation, and glad you got it going!
Thank you, but on Adobe’s FTP server there is no FrameMaker 10 and Golive 9!
Sorry about that Roland – it was worth a shot.
I purchased one of the CS4 Suites (Master?) 3 years ago. The app updater AppFresh says there are updates available for some of the apps. The links above to “trial versions” — are they the ORIGINAL versions, or are they the MOST RECENT CS4 versions? If original, I won’t bother. And even if they are the latest, it may not be worth the trouble? (Eg, I assume I’ll need to figure out how to enter my existing Key for each app, yes?) Thanks!
Hi Eliot, these are the original CS4 and CS3 trial versions. Any updates for these versions will be downloaded separately after product installation.
If you want to see what’s available for your Creative Suite application, just go to “Updates…” on the Help menu. That will begin the update download process directly, with no external app needed.
Hope this helps!
Hello,
I am trying to download CS4 Web Premium suite and the link did not work. Got the following error.
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
Help Please!
Hey Vj, 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 get you going.
hey i downloaded file 1 and file 2 of the adobe after effects cs4, but file 1 (the adobe extractor) does not start.
does it need some other adobe program?
Windows 7, internet explorer, 64 bit.
thanks
What happens in particular Agostino? No other program is needed – File 1 should be an .EXE and File 2 is a .7Z – and then you just run (double-click) the .EXE executable file.
@ agostino caporlingua
You need another extraction program, like WinRAR or 7Zip.
No, you don’t actually. Just download both files and run File 1 (the .exe). Nothing else is needed.
Thanks for trying to help though.
