Update on New Adobe CC 2019 Direct Download Links
This morning, Adobe unveiled the new CC 2019 Release, which the company says is the biggest product launch since they first introduced Creative Cloud over six years ago. Pam Clark, Senior Director for Photoshop, exclaimed, “Today is by far the largest product announcement and launch experience of my career on the Photoshop team, and at Adobe. We have never delivered so much amazing new innovation to customers on the same day. I can’t wait to see what you create!”
And from what we’ve seen, it looks to be true. There are major updates across the entire suite of tools and services, including entirely new Creative Cloud tools as well as significant new features and improvements to existing applications, and even some surprises.
As always, all upgrades to your CC apps are included are part of your Creative Cloud membership at no additional cost. The CC 2019 software is available immediately for worldwide download via the Creative Cloud Desktop App… This means everyone gets either a free upgrade or a free trial – but some folks want or need to access the new tools directly without using Adobe’s download/app manager.

As of this writing, only the new Acrobat DC 2019 installers are out… The rest of the CC 2019 direct download links are not available yet, but we hope they will be released soon… As in the past, we are in touch with Adobe staff and advocating for you – our readers and for Creative Cloud customers everywhere – to get these posted as soon as possible. Everybody is asking us about this!
In the meantime, the CC 2018 standalone installers are still available for use and download.
For decades now, Adobe has always provided CC and CS industry-standard downloadable installers for many valid reasons… In our view, the need is strong and they should continue to do so.
If you agree, then share your thoughts below on why you want or need direct download links. More importantly, please also post feedback on the Adobe Forums and send your comments to the product teams to tell the company directly. Then spread the word to others you know!
As always, we will be following this story closely going forward, and keeping this page up-to-date with the latest news regarding new offline installers, as well as publishing further information on the status of CC 2019 direct download links.

Also important to know is that the system requirements have changed, in order to take advantage of the latest operating system features and technologies… On Mac, the CC 2019 release now requires macOS X 10.12 Sierra or higher. If you’re not running the latest macOS yet, then you can get a free upgrade from Apple to the latest version of macOS 10.14 Mojave. On PC, either Windows 10 (version 1703 or higher) or Windows 7 will work for most Creative Cloud applications. But note that Windows 7 is no longer supported for the CC video and audio tools, and Windows 8.1 is not supported at all. For more details, consult the complete CC 2019 System Requirements. If those don’t fit for you, then you can instead continue to use the older CC 2018 applications.

Well, CC app updates have been a pain, but now they don’t work at all. After several hours with a tech support guy running my computer, I finally got to the point where the CC app is installed again, but all my other apps are gone. Every attempt to install them again fails after getting about 4-8% downloaded.
This is ridiculous. Just give me the direct download installer files already.

Thanks David for sharing your experience, and sorry you’re having to go through that. Yes, there are unfortunately many customers who simply cannot use the Creative Cloud Desktop app for one reason or another to get their software, and this is another critical reason why direct download links are absolutely needed.
In fact, we put together a whole list of reasons why here!
Hi,
In the past month or two, the subscription comes to me in a very hard-to-read form. It used to be with paragraphs and spaces, and what not. Now it’s all one continuous line. I am on Mac Mail. Is this a problem on Windows.
Hey Gregory, maybe you’re talking about a different kind of subscription…? This website is about Adobe software.
Please tell how to do this, as my apps are all gone and I cannot get CC to successfully update any of them.
Thanks.
I think what he means is the email notices of new posts to this forum come in one single-spaced blob of text that is almost impossible to read.
It would be nice to at least parse out the content section to readable form. Of course this is way tinier of a problem than CC’s lack of ability to install apps.
Yikes, so sorry guys! We changed to a new web hosting platform about six weeks ago, and it looks like this was an undiscovered glitch… Believe it or not, nobody let us know until now!
So thanks very much for the notifications, Gregory and David – it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully it should be fixed now, and your emails look right again! Very sorry for the inconvenience.
Now we are talking!, :0) It went back like it was before.
Thanks for fixing the issue!
Whew, good to hear. Thanks again for letting us know, and for being a faithful reader! We’ll try not to let you down again.
So this is a joke, right? I mean that Adobe is playing on its customers? That’s the only reason I can fathom that even after 3 MONTHS of a major product line going live, they still haven’t provided direct download links for their end users. It’s completely insulting, really.
Well, as we noted in this previous comment above, it actually took almost four months with CC 2015.5 back in 2016… But you’re right, this seems too long for customers to have to wait.
