Adobe Captivate 7 Direct Download Links

Adobe Captivate comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions…  64-bit offers higher perfor­mance but choose the 32-bit flavor if you’re unsure what your Windows computer is.

Captivate 7 – Windows 32-bit (1.02 GB):   File 1   File 2

Captivate 7 – Windows 64-bit (949 MB):   File 1   File 2

Captivate 7 – Downloadable Assets – Windows (178 MB):   File 1

Captivate 7 – NeoSpeech Text–to-Speech Voices – Windows (1.20 GB):   32-bit or 64-bit


Captivate 7 – Mac (1.50 GB):   File 1

Captivate 7 – Downloadable Assets – Mac (181 MB):   File 1

Captivate 7 – NeoSpeech Text–to-Speech Voices – Mac (1.20 GB):   Voices for Mac

See the complete system requirements for Captivate 7 to make sure your computer is ready before proceeding with installation.

You do not need to uninstall previous versions of Captivate; some users prefer to keep the older, familiar version(s) around as they come up to speed with the new product’s features, and some folks even have five different versions of CP installed all on the same computer.

You can easily convert a free 30-day trial installed on your computer to an unrestricted version by purchasing the software and entering the serial number.

We suggest using a browser other than Internet Explorer to download the files above. They can be quite large and IE has been known to drop the extension (like “.exe”) from the Windows filename. If this happens and you can’t open a file, then just rename it to add back the extension. But generally, using Firefox or Chrome will work better – and if you have any issues getting the downloads to work with one browser, then try another.

  2. I have license for adobe captivate 7, however, I can’t download the .dmg file. I always receive this notifications.

    “Unable to locate the server named ‘trials3.adobe.com’ — the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.”

  3. I downloaded file 1 and file 2 and also both zipped folders for voices and assets. However, when I try to install, I get an error message saying “The file archive part of Adobe Captivate7 (32 Bit) is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Captivate7 (32 Bit). Please download all parts.”

    All files are located in the same folder. I also unzipped the two zipped files to the same location.

    What have I done wrong?

    • Hey Angela,

      For the main Captivate program installation, don’t do any unzipping yourself… Just download both files given above (for Windows) into the same directory, and then run or double-click the first file (the .exe).
