  1. 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.

  2. Sorry, links still don’t work. I selected Web Premium CS3 on FireFox, Chrome, Safari and Explorer,

  3. 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!

  6. When i download photoshop cs4 and run the setup.exe, i keep getting “The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.”

  7. 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

  8. 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).

  9. 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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.
