2. They said “The version above – CC 2018 – is the last release of Creative Cloud to fully support macOS v. 10.11”.

   My Mac is v.10.15 but the install folder was blocked and it said “‘Install.app’ needs to be updated.”

   • Sorry – because of major changes Apple made in macOS version 10.15, the installation of any Creative Cloud apps older than CC 2019 is not supported on Catalina and newer versions… This is because some components of older Adobe software was created using 32-bit architecture and do not work on 64-bit-only operating systems.

     For more information, please see this Adobe help page with further details:

     Why Don’t My Adobe Apps Work in macOS Catalina 10.15?

     This means that the CC 2018 apps listed in this page are not compatible with Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey or Ventura. So we would suggest going with the newer CC 2019 or 2024 releases instead, as either of those should work for you:

   • Hi, thank you for the heads-up. Best as we can tell, Adobe has removed all direct download links for the CC 2018 versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Character Animator from their servers.

     Ordinarily, we would suggest using the CC 2019 links instead, but it appears they have done the same for those apps in that release as well.

     Sorry about this. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do to restore those installers, as Adobe has been talking about pulling down older versions for some time.

     Officially, Adobe only supports the current release (CC 2024) and the one prior (CC 2023) for download.

     This is called their “N-1 Support Policy,” as detailed here. If you have needs for prior versions, you can contact them directly to let them know:

   • Hello, the installer downloads are for Adobe desktop software, which is only available on Windows or macOS computers.

     However, check out Photoshop on the iPad, which is installed through the Apple App Store.
