I was quite excited about the promo discount of $500 off ADOBE MAX, and the offer for free flights with credit card.
(Also it mentioned that 40,000 bonus miles would get you to California from anywhere in Canada and USA)
Only problem with this is that you CAN NOT sign up for this (Chase) Visa Card if you live in CANADA :(
Very sorry about that Sue – we weren’t aware!

Hi, I purchased Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x32 from you in 2015. I downloaded it to my PC which has since been replaced after breaking. Now I need to download it to my new PC. How do I do that? Please help!!
Best wishes

Hey Tracey, see if these help:
Adobe CS5.5 Direct Download Links, for Windows and macOS
We have loaded the Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Product on our standalone systems that don’t have any internet connection. We downloaded the Updates from your site here. but every time we try to run any of them, it seems to want to run an Online update. Is there any way to update the software without being online. These are for Government computers on a classified network, so having Internet is not a possibility. Please advise.
Hi Miguel, here’s the answer to your question, which was recently asked by another commenter as well.
I just bought a new Mac Mini. The only software I physically have anymore is the upgrade for CS5. I had upgraded from CS2 (which was purchased back in college) and I have no idea where those disc(s) are since it’s been over 10 years and countless moves ago. Is there any way I can install the CS5 upgrade without having a previous version of CS since this is on a new computer?
Appreciate any help
Hello Jonathan,
Unfortunately not. Any Adobe CS upgrade version also requires the serial number from the previous release that you’re upgrading from. Together the two form the complete upgrade picture.
One idea: you could try checking your online Adobe account to see if your product serial numbers were captured or registered there. It may be worth a shot.
However, if you just bought a new Mac, then you may be out of luck anyway… We’ve heard of plenty of difficulties trying to install & run old CS releases on modern operating systems, especially macOS. The newer OS versions of course didn’t exist eight years ago, and the old Creative Suite software was not written for them, nor is officially supported on them.
Wish we had better news, but best of luck with it!
I am an educator that teaches Art I and Art & Media communications courses. I want to become more proficient in Adobe to become a more effective educator for my students. In the past I have signed up for courses on the Adobe Exchange website but simply could not complete the courses because I do not have a copy at home; and can not afford the Master Suite on my work computer. I need assistance with Educator options to get the best bang for my buck. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Meredith

Greetings Meredith,
Adobe offers an education discount that applies for both students and teachers… You can pick up an annual Creative Cloud subscription at 60% off the regular prices for your first year, and then 40% off after that, so long as you remain a teacher.
See this post for more about Adobe’s student/teacher discount, and how you can get it.
And you’re in luck, because right now there’s an even deeper reduction that Adobe is offering for Black Friday. For a limited time, the price cut is 70% off the standard pricing – just $16/month in the US for your first year:

Hello,
I am trying to join creative cloud for free per your blog post here, but it is not working for me. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I already have a student account and I have been paying on and off for the past 2 years. I have since graduated and my student e-mail is about to expire. I would like to continue using CC for free if possible. Please help.
Thank you,
P.W.
Hi PW, did you thoroughly read that article? It doesn’t say you can continue using all the major CC apps without a paid subscription…
You can, however, get & use some of the Creative Cloud apps and services for free for life. But don’t take it away to mean that you can have the full Photoshop for free.
I am already subscribed to Adobe’s Photography Plan as part of Adobe Creative Cloud, with an Adobe ID, and I am also using Bridge, XD, etc. and Portfolio. Do I still need to rejoin Adobe’s Creative Cloud to get access to the entire set of free features available from Adobe according to your article at: https://prodesigntools.com/how-to-join-creative-cloud-free.html ?
Does Portfolio use come along with the free use of creative cloud?
Welcome M.A.,
Your CC Photography Plan would already include everything offered at the free level of Creative Cloud, plus more that you’re paying for.
The free level does not include Adobe Portfolio. The Photography bundle that you currently have is the least-expensive plan that does include Portfolio.
Hope that fully answers your question; if not, then just post back!

excited and waiting for the standalone installer for adobe photoshop cc 2019
Great blog, thank you.
Is it possible to buy older versions of Adobe Acrobat outright rather than going through the Adobe download? I am retired and do free graphic design for several small 501c3 organizations and my local yacht club. I object to paying over $500.00 per year to do free work for groups that don’t have the budget to hire it, and I don’t have the money to donate that amount!
Thanks,
Kathy
Hello Kathy,
The only older and non-subscription version of Acrobat that Adobe still makes is Acrobat 2017, which has significant differences and fewer features than Acrobat DC 2019.
Also, if you happen to need or use Adobe software for a non-profit or charitable organization, then you might want to look into TechSoup for discounts.
Lastly, no version of Acrobat is ‘over $500.00 per year’… You can get a subscription to Acrobat DC for as little as US$12.99/month, with ongoing upgrades included. And with a subscription, if you no longer need the software or stop working with it on a regular basis, then you can let your plan run out and pay nothing thereafter.
By contrast, the perpetual Acrobat 2017 version described above costs US$300-$450 upfront for a static copy.
Hope that fully answers your questions; if not, then just post back!
Sorry, I meant to say InDesign!
Kathy
If all you need is InDesign, then you can just get InDesign:
Don’t Need Full Creative Cloud? Get Any Single CC App for $10-20/Mo.
And different from Acrobat, Adobe no longer makes or sells any non-subscription versions prior to CC at all:
Update: You Can No Longer Buy CS6 from Adobe – Here’s Why
how now my friend, my name is ‘i support adobe’
Dear Sir,
I deeply need an e-book as a free tutorial for Adobe XD CC.
Would you help me?
Thank you for replying.
Yours,
Sahar
Greetings Sahar,
Thank you for your question. You’re in luck – we just added this new book which covers Adobe XD:
Free 243-Page eBook: Get the New Edition of “Adobe CC Design Basics”
Please download and enjoy.
I signed up for the newsletter, and the link to download books took me to another page asking for me to sign up for the newsletter. I can’t find any books to download.
Sorry Paula, we’ve never heard that before. Which book(s) in particular are you trying to download? There’s a different link given in the email for each of the free books.
whats the difference between cc and cs6?
Sure, check out our comparison guide here:
What Are the Differences Between CC 2019 vs. Older Versions? (incl. CS6)
Can you adjust your website to stop sending hundreds of email notification every day, I unsubscribed and still I am getting bombarded with these notifications.
I love your site, but this notification comes from nowhere, I did not even clicked on the box notify me. In fact, I have not used my web wiz emails for the last 3 years on your site.
Thanks.
Hello again Greg,
When leaving a comment on our site, there is an optional checkbox to “Notify me of follow-up comments via email”…
Our records show you using your “webwiz” email seven times in comments on our site since last October 2018… (and thanks for reading & commenting!)
Within every comment follow-up email that you receive, there is a link you can use to unsubscribe yourself for that post, if you wish.
We don’t show any of your email addresses still active to receive any further comment notification emails, so it must be that you did unsubscribe yourself by clicking on those links.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for writing.
Good night. I live in Brazil and I have the need to use Adobe Illustrator but I do not have the financial condition to buy an annual subscription for the 2019 version. I would like to buy the 2015 version. I do not want anything cracked. I want the original and I want to pay for it. Can you help me buy the old version (2015) of Adobe Illustrator?
Hi Mariano,
To answer your question: whether CC 2015 or CC 2019, it’s all the same – only via subscription to Creative Cloud. So, it’s the same price regardless.
As you know, Adobe stopped CS6 and earlier releases (both making and selling).
And you are wise to avoid any cracked versions – because besides being illegal, you have no clue what it could do and how badly it can mess up your system (and steal your personal data & privacy).
Maybe you could sign up to be a student to get the education discount?

Hope that helps.

HI There
In 2017, I purchased Adobe Master Collection CS6 from you and want to download and install it again, but on a different machine. I currently have it on my laptop, but need installer/setup program (full program) to install on my main PC. Don’t want trial version or adobe cloud. I had FULL version with proper set up installation files.
Please let me know how I can re-download. Thank you.
Hey Karen, we used to offer a complete set of CS6 direct links available for download, but that is now missing a number of key tools because of this recent action:
Adobe Limits Software Version Downloads, Including Some Direct Links
Good Morning,
Originally I set up my account with Adobe while living in Spain for 14 months; I’m a US citizen who returned to the US back in 2011, and have been unsuccessful in having my country of residence changed back to the US. Three phone calls to Adobe support receiving two unkept promises to change it, and the third telling me the only was was for me to close my account and change my business email. I also sent one letter and one fax, both of which were sent to Adobe corporate with no response. Why is this such a big deal? Creative Suite is about 20% more for European accounts due to the exchange rate in currency, plus they add VAT on top of that total. Thank you for your help and understanding on this and I look forward to hearing from you.
Robert – CO
Greetings Robert,
Sorry to hear of the issue. Only Adobe Customer Service can make those changes within their system for active subscriptions, but we’re going to reach out and see if we can get any additional help for you within the company…
The reason it takes more work & validation to change countries is because pricing can very between regions, and otherwise everyone would want to sign up with the country which cost the least. In Europe as you noted, the subscriptions cost ~20% more (after the exchange rate) because a VAT of ~20% is included in the price, whereas all pricing in the U.S. is quoted without sales taxes (added later).
Thanks for reaching out and hope this gets taken care of soon for you.
