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.

App install update:
Updates worked fine with Trend Internet Security, but I changed to Bitdefender. Somehow in that, or during a Windows update, the Windows firewall also turned itself on. Even though Bitdefender was disabled, the Windows Defender was stopping the updates. With Windows security off, the downloads work well, even with Trend or Bitdefender anitivirus and firewall enabled. If you get this error 119, make sure your Windows firewall has not become re-enabled for some reason.
After several weeks of trying, I finally got an elevated support call and the agent was able to drill down to this much more quickly that the standard support agent.
Wow David, that’s good news – and glad to hear you got it sorted out!
But sorry it turned out to be such a time-consuming hassle for you – you were right in what you said in your original comment: “This is ridiculous. Just give me the direct download installer files already.”
Thank you so much for circling back to share what eventually happened and the solution you discovered, with things to watch out for! This will no doubt help other readers here going forward, especially until the new direct download links arrive.
that is good news
Is there any way to get these with a one-off purchase instead of subscription, like the old days?
No – all of Adobe’s flagship Creative software since 2012 is available by subscription only. They stopped selling CS6 a couple years ago.
Hi, firstly, just wanted to say what a fantastic, really useful and uncluttered website you have, that helps so many people get things done the way they want.
Was curious if there has been any progress in Adobe making available installers for the rest of CC’19? Having experienced the hell that is relying on their cloud installer as a student, will only consider purchasing my licence when they are made public – and cannot understand why they are not made so on every release and major update, as not everyone has unlimited bandwidth or the patience to go through multiple installs via the web and dealing with all the time lost due to errors.
thanks again for all of your hard work!
Hey Matty, thank you for the kind words – we appreciate it! Yes, we totally agree with you – and are waiting (very) patiently for the CC 2019 direct download links… From what we understand, all of the new standalone installers are in now the final validation stage before their ultimate release. Here’s hoping it won’t be much longer.
Thanks again for your interest, and we’d suggest circling back to check in later this month.
Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. it’s good to hear at least some progress has been made.
I actually use your page to show people just how good a contemporary, feature-rich website can look like, which loads amazingly fast compared to most these days, has a working, human-reviewed comments section and is both visually appealing with all the info and options so clearly laid out, it puts most corporate pages to shame.
Much love, from London!
Wow, thanks Matty – that’s very gracious of you to say! Really appreciate your thoughtful comments and actions. Maintaining the site can be hard work sometimes, but it’s responses like yours that make it all worthwhile.
download cc 2019
Just passing by: Another month gone by, another non-release and no word from Adobe.
Hey Godz, thanks – we hear you… And that’s all true except for the the “no word” part. We got word from Adobe ten days ago that “we’re almost there.”
So, while this process requires a lot of patience, we have definitely not given up hope – and still expect the CC 2019 direct download links to be released.
Standalone Installers CC 2019 can be downloaded.
Thanks – and great news everyone… Adobe finally came through!
The new CC 2019 direct download links are now available for immediate download above.
Whew! A long road, but we made it… Thanks so much for your patience.
Hi,
Could you please confirm for me if these installers are the latest versions after Adobe fixed the problems with the original softwares that came out in October, or if they are the originals with no updates ?
Good question Ibrahim. Adobe recently told us they would be the latest versions (or close), rather than the original CC 2019.0 releases which came out in October.
If you install them, could you please post the different app version numbers in a comment – and we will integrate that information into the table above asap? We haven’t had the chance yet. Thanks.
FWIW, I just installed Photoshop and Lightroom Classic CC. Photoshop is 20.0.1, Lightroom Classic CC is 8.0.
Thanks so much for getting these up, and dealing so patiently with all of us who aren’t always so patient!
LOL. :) It was definitely a long road, but glad we finally got there! We realize the need, and never stopped advocating for our readers. So please spread the word that these are out!
And thanks Michael, if enough readers post the versions they download above, then we’ll have the table populated with all the different release numbers in short order.
finally it’s here, thanks a lot.
Yes! Finally here! Thanks sooo much ProDesign for all your effort and good work! :-)
You’re very welcome Anthony, and thank you for your patience!
the most useful website in all of the internet…… thanks very very much for all the good work you save us every time.
good work
Thank you Ahmed, that’s very kind to say!
The Lightroom one goes to download version 8.0. I believe 8.2 is already released. Please update?
Hi Martijn, these are what Adobe has made available at this time… We are following up with them to see if direct download links to further CC 2019 updates will be published going forward.
Thank you so for making adobe CC 2019 products easy for us to download
You’re very welcome. We’re glad to finally have these available for you!
So, finally 2019 direct downloads are available from Adobe, but yet, the most dominant question of all has yet to be answered or verified …are these download links, “OFFLINE” installers, or are these still the type that must connect to an established Adobe server for activation? Just because these installers do not require the use of Creative Cloud to install them, does not mean that they are, “OFFLINE” installers. An, “OFFLINE” installer, is the type of installer you need when you live at the center of Antarctica, with NO Internet connection whatsoever.
All Creative Cloud applications require a very brief Internet connection in order to activate, whether for the free trial or full version.
Adobe has not offered offline activation like you’re describing in many years, not even going back to the CS6 days… Some form of communication is required to permanently activate the software.
These installers are offline in the sense that you can download them onto your computer, keep and make permanent offline backups, retain them for your future use at any time, copy them onto a USB drive for use anywhere you go, download on one system to install on another (or multiple computers) without re-downloading, etc etc.
They are also industry-standard Windows .EXE and Mac .DMG installers, which are not available via the Creative Cloud Desktop app. And again, these may be installed standalone without the CC Desktop app, if so desired.
Could you please add a checksum to verify installers for security?
Hey Jemma,
Well it’s a thought, but usually if there’s any problem at all with file integrity, then you’ll immediately get an error or other message and the download, extraction, or installation will not complete…
If you get an unexpected message of any kind, feel free to post it here and we’ll help you decipher and solve it.
The corollary is that a smooth installation with no unusual messages can be safely presumed to be successful.
For this many files and downloads, posting all of the MD5’s or other checksums in a clean or easily presentable way could be challenging. But we have listed all the file sizes here for both Windows and Mac, which are short and quickly checkable for all visitors.
Thanks for the CC 2019 direct downloads Links. If anyone wants, they can update CC from Creative Cloud.
Not always. Too frequently, that doesn’t work – or there are other use cases and needs for direct downloads.
Thanks, but unfortunately they are not the latest versions (for instance, for Photoshop). I wonder why Adobe does not allow to download the latest ones, as it does with other products like, for instance, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for Mac:
https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
Good question. And yes, we wonder the same thing.
It seems a lot of effort for Adobe to manage, keep up with, and produce all the installers for this separate channel… So in recent years, since switching over to their new proprietary installation technology, they’ve only made direct download links available on an occasional, ad hoc basis, rather than for all CC versions and all CC updates.
