  1. I am trying to download CS4 Design Premium on a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 8. I keep getting an error message:

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

    I tried both Chrome and Explorer browsers as well.

  3. Hello!

    I have Adobe CS4 Master Collection on my old PC (Windows XP) and I want to transfer the license on my new laptop, which has Microsoft Office 8. Will it work? If yes, send me a link where I can download the program. What I have seen and clicked here it’s not working. I tried with 2 different browsers and it sends me errors.

    I will wait for your answer! Thank you so much!

    • Hello Andreea, do you mean Office 8 or Windows 8?

      CS4 and CS3 predate Windows 8 by years, are not supported and may not run on Windows 8.

      As for any problems you have with downloading from the direct links here, you have to first make sure to carefully follow the step-by-step download instructions given near the top of this page…

      If you do not follow those directions (required by Adobe’s servers) then these links will not work for you, it’s as simple as that.

      Then if you have any further issues, try again with a different browser, computer, or Internet connection (avoid Wi-Fi).

  4. First of all, thank you for utmost contribution you guys have done for all Adobe users whenever they have a software download problems. However, could you please share with me where I can download the Design CS4 standard for PC, since I have tried all the links provided on your website.

    It seems to work for others, but neither one of them works for me. Thank you and all I need is a link.

    • Thank you for your kind words Gordon, we’re happy to do what we can! We’ve retested these links, Adobe’s servers are fine, and sorry but this is the only page we have for this old software.

      So if it’s still not working for you, then try reading through some of the advice found in comments here, including on previous comment pages… That usually helps. Good luck!

  5. I asked to download the files for CS4 Design Standard and after many failed attempts getting an error it finally worked, BUT when I go to install it, it shows as CS6. I don’t have a serial number for CS6. I needed to do it this way as the install.app file on my disk is damaged.

    Any advice?

    I eventually got it to download perfectly thanks, and then the Adobe Activation refused my serial number. After 2 hours on the “Help” chatline, I was brushed off with “your product is too old.” And she shut the chat down and I cannot start a new on one the same topic so am just out in the cold. VERY UNIMPRESSED WITH ADOBE. And the ‘consultant,’ who I frankly think did not have a clue, never answered my question re: the number of times I had activated it, and if one could be deactivated to allow me to activate for my new computer. So I have 2 dead computers with it installed and activated and this computer which I can’t get it to load on. As I am now unemployed there is no way I can afford to update, so Adobe has lost a customer.

    Kudos to ProDesign for making the service available though.

    • Sorry you had trouble Odille… You might try again and just ask them to simply clear out all activations for the serial number you give them. Provided you haven’t abused the end-user license, then they should be able to do that (reset their database for that key). Then you could reactivate anew on the systems you want the software on.

  7. I downloaded Design Premium CS4 without any problems but when I put in my serial number it shows a little red x. Any ideas. It is a correct serial number as logged with Adobe for my original programme.

    I am hoping to sort out this flaw before the 30-day trial is up.

  8. I just want to thank you for providing these links and instructions! After trying a similar process on another site unsuccessfully, I was mentally preparing myself to search for my original CS4 installer disks circa 2009 and purchase a superdrive (which I would later return) to install Adobe onto my new computer.

  9. I need CS4 Master Collection Western Europe (Italian) for Windows. I downloaded without problems “File 1” and “File 3” (the .exe ones), but I can’t download “file 2”. I tried several times, it starts correctly, but after an hour approximately it quits as if it finished the job, but the file is a .7z of 1.6-2.2 Gb instead of the 6.2 Gb I expected… in fact I can’t open it: win RAR says it is corrupted/incomplete. Can you help me? Thank you very much.

  10. … ooops I forgot… my OS is winXP SP3, my browser is Chrome, and it’s the only application running when I attempt to download.

    Reply
    • Welcome Leonardo, it sounds like you’re doing everything right – but File 1 and File 3 are very small compared to File 2… Can you try another, stronger, faster, wired (not wireless) Internet connection?

      Or see if you have better luck with a different browser like Firefox perhaps. Or try installing and using a download manager locally on your computer.

  11. Ok, just to fix the problem. I tried with 2 common download managers, but Adobe servers denied the access. I installed Firefox and followed the “Very Important Instructions”, and everything went right: I got my Official Adobe CS4 Free Trials!! I think it’s maybe Chrome guilty for the problem!

    Let me thank the staff for the precious and helpful aid: guys you’re a force of nature!!! Good luck, keep rocking!

  12. I have already purchased Illustrator CS4 for another Macbook. I just purchased a new Macbook and need to transfer it. I was directed by a representative to this site where there is only a “free trial” version. I downloaded the Illustrator CS4 from this site. When I went to put in my serial number, it would not take it. What am I doing wrong?

  14. I have Adobe CS4 Design Standard and deactivated it on my old PC (Windows XP) but when I try to download it on my new PC (Windows 7) it asks for the serial number and accepts it with a green check – but then says that installer has shut down. Any ideas?

    Reply
  15. I’ve downloaded all three CS4 Design Std files to the same location. When I try to open the App file it says that

    ‘The file archive part of Adobe CS4 Design Standard is missing. You need all parts to in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS4 Design Standard, Please download all parts,’

    Any ideas?

    Reply
  16. I overcame the 404 Error but when I reach the setup page, it denies my serial number so I tried the trial version.
    It says Adobe Setup stopped working and quits.

    This is the same situation that I get with the original disc which accepts (with a green check) my serial number, but on accepting the agreement I reach the same thing.
    Adobe Setup quit unexpectedly

    So I am back to where I started 4 weeks ago.

    • Well, it sounds like there may be something about the configuration of your new system that this old software doesn’t like. Either that, or perhaps some issue with the license.

      Our best advice would be to google the exact product you have together with the exact error message you get (in quotes), and see if that turns up any solutions.

  17. Hi.
    Just wondering, will the Premiere and After Effects CS4 works/run on Windows 7? My system only supports 32 bit.
    And should i downloaded all the file parts? I mean, file 1 till file 4. Or just one of them? ex., file 2 and file 4.

    Reply
    • Yes, CS4 was the last version of AE and Premiere to support 32-bit systems… Starting with CS5, these tools became 64-bit-only.

      The old CS4 and CS3 programs should be able to install and run on Windows 7, with some possible technical issues.

      To answer your final question: Files 1 & 2 here are the actual tool itself, and Files 3 & 4 are the Extra Content… The first set is required to install, but the second set is optional.

  18. Trying to get a trial version of CS3 Photoshop. I downloaded via links provided above. Extracted the files from the downloaded extractor into a new folder. Selected the Launch Photoshop CS3 option, Adobe setup starts, displays for about 2 seconds and then vanishes

    Tried it again. same thing.

    Anything obvious that I’m doing wrong?

  19. Thanks. Nope, no message. The Launch box appears, it starts to load, then it’s gone.

    I only have Vista here, so no good with CC. Not sure about CS6, but I’ve tried CS4 with same (non) results as above.

    Maybe I’m destined to stay with my old Photoshop 7 ! Never found anything wrong with it in the first place, to be honest…

  20. Hi,
    I have been using CS2 for the longest time. Been working ok. Recently my PC started bugging down and I thought it was time to upgrade. So I have a new PC, running Windows 7. I have installed the CS2, using the old CDs in the package bought several years ago and it installed fine. The trouble is when I need to activate it, it says Activation unsuccessful. What do I do? I have tried several times today. Thank you.

    Reply
    • Sorry Dorothy, we have no idea… CS2 is dated and not supported on Windows 7; it was originally written for 32-bit Windows 2000/XP and released years before Windows 7 even existed.

      In any event, only Adobe has power over activation issues – we have no control or advice there – so you’d have to contact them about it. Good luck!
