Where tab to download??
Just click on the icon for the software you want, then select your product language and platform (Windows or Mac) to begin the download… If you don’t already have an Adobe ID you’ll be prompted to get one, but it’s a very easy process with just a few fields to complete.
Where can I download the CS4 trials? Is there any way or place to still get them if I need them?
Yes, CS5 is the best but it seems there are still quite a few folks looking for the trial downloads for CS4, often for 32-bit vs. 64-bit reasons…
We now have a listing of the direct links for all original CS4 trials still available for download from Adobe’s servers, including Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4 (which don’t require a 64-bit system as their CS5 counterparts do), as well as the rest of the applications like Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 (although those CS5 tools both work fine with 32-bit systems).
soft82 doesn’t have cs4 anymore
Darn, you’re right! That link worked the last time it was tested, and the page still says CS4, but looks like it now just forwards on to the Adobe site (for CS5)… We’ll try to post another link/source, stay tuned…
@Pangaea, @tvshrine –
Good news: We’ve found a complete set of official CS4 trials (all products) available for download in multiple languages from Adobe servers, and have collected them together in single new post with CS4 here…
merci beaucoup!
¿donde puedo encontrar numeros series adobe cs5? es que es urgente ya use el modo prueba
Hi Richard, the full and free trials for all Adobe CS5 products (in most languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, etc) are available by clicking on the product icons above…
If you have difficulty with the Akamai Download Manager (DLM) that Adobe uses, you can use our direct download links for CS5 instead.
Can you get a student version of CS5? The older version?
Hey there, Adobe no longer offers CS5 – they sell the latest version Creative Suite 5.5…
But why would you want an older version anyway, when you can get the new student editions for 80% off?
necesito el adobe trial para abrir un archivo de FH11
Lo siento German, no tenemos que están disponibles aquí – pero si te encuentras en algún lugar FreeHand por favor háganoslo saber!
I want ‘CS5 EXTENDED’ – it’s not here ? Where can i find it ?
It is here. All Adobe Photoshop trials are the Extended version, including here for Photoshop CS5 Extended.
I downloaded the trial for CS 5 to which I have a product code, but when I try to activate the “MasterCollection_CS5_LS4.dmg” I get a Warning pop up window saying “The following disk image couldn’t be opened” and below a statement that the file “MasterCollection_CS5_LS4.dmg” is not recognized.
How do I proceed?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Jesper, for what that message means on your Mac, please see this previous discussion.
thanks for these options. i found the trial version here.
But it does not say where the CS5 free trial is!
Sorry, older post – Adobe changed their site…
But you’ll find the Adobe CS5 direct download links here.
hi
Where’s the tab
Hi, what tab are you talking about?
I am new student of graphic design. If you extend the free trial from 30 days and increase it to 60 days, I think more students will have success with your software.
thanks
I have a purchased a windows version of CS5 that has been uninstalled from a previous computer. Is a apple trial version available to install from the web and then could I use the install code that I have ?
No, the old CS versions were not sold multi-platform… You bought either for Windows or for Mac. Customers could possibly “crossgrade” to switch between systems (a one-time change from PC to Mac or vice versa), but only for CS6 (the last Creative Suite version).
We do have many installers available here:

…but they are all trial versions and your serial number will not work if it’s for the wrong/other platform.
Hi! So, I downloaded both the files File 1 and 2 for illustrator. It downloaded and when I opened them, I got a message saying “The file archive part of Adobe Illustrator is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Illustrator CS6. Please download all parts” What should I do know?
It sounds like your browser (especially IE) may have dropped or changed the file extension when downloading the program… In that case, your computer might not know how to open it, or might think it’s a text file instead.
If that happens, you would need to rename the file to add back the proper file extension… You have to hover your mouse over the link above and check what it is at the end; usually for Windows it’s a .exe or .7z or .zip file.
If you’re still stuck, check out this list of download tips we put together to help.
Hi! So, I am getting a message which says “The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you’re running. Check your computer’s system information to see whether you need an x86 (32bit) or x64 (64bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.” What should I do now?
I need to download Illustrator for my project, so could you please help me out.
Not sure Mansi. Which version of Adobe Illustrator are you trying to download?
And what version of Windows are you running, and is it a 32-bit or 64-bit system that you have?
Here’s what we found when we googled that error message. There’s a mismatch going on somewhere.
However, are you sure you want an older CS5 or CS6 application instead of the newer/latest CC 2017 releases? As a Creative Cloud subscriber, you are entitled to run any CC version you wish (and/or CS6).
If you have a 64-bit system, then you should be able to run most any recent Adobe CC product.
Dear Sir,
Dear Sirs,
Recently my ssd boot drive failed, as did my backup, leaving me to re-install windows 7 pro from scratch ( quick tricky for a 80-year old, but made it ). Have lost much of my graphic software, much of which will not run on W10, so stuck with W7. Photoshop Cs5 has been lost. which I have been using for a few years ( mainly to provide assistance to my local Historic Group), and am aware that you, as do other firms, advertise free downloads. I presume mainly to evaluate it. I am checking to see if I can afford to replace it.
As I am very familiar with it, I would ask you after 30 days clearly there is a cost to complete an installation. Please advise as with my limited means, may well direct me to buy Elements instead. Your advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
George Webster
I await your comments and information with interest.
G.Webster
Sorry to hear about your computer, George. See if these help, and can help get back the software you had:
Adobe CS5 Direct Download Links & Free Trials, for Windows and macOS
If you still have your original serial number available, then you should be able to [re]activate Photoshop CS5 using that free trial download.
If not, then Adobe no longer sells Photoshop CS of any kind, so the one-off perpetual license you had cannot be replaced. However, low-cost Photoshop CC subscriptions are available.
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for replying to my e-mail, however you did not appear to answer the main point of my enquiry. Please refer to my original request and you will see that as I have limited means, and no way of recovering my lost software, I wished to know what cost at the end of a trial period to complete the purchase.
I would appreciate your response with interest.
Regards,
George Webster
George, there’s simply no way you can still buy Photoshop CS5 from Adobe, and we strongly advise against trying to get it from other places (like eBay).
So if you no longer have your serial number – and no way of recovering it – then you might try either the Creative Cloud Photography Plan (which includes the latest releases of both Photoshop CC + Lightroom CC, plus ongoing updates and other integrated tools and services) – or try Photoshop Elements instead, which is Adobe’s scaled-down option.
Hope that helps.
Dear Sirs,
Again I thank you for prompt follow up. I seem to be missing a point somewhere. You state that ” there’s simply no way you can still buy Photoshop CS5 from Adobe,” which is something I am very much aware of, and why I was interested in your Webpage which says that I can have Photoshop CS5 as a free trial 30-day download from you.
Can I make a fresh approach. Let us assume that I am new to graphic software, and would like to get Photoshop CS5 as I know it will run on my W7pro PC. At present I cannot entertain upgrading to W10 as much of my software will not run on W10. Hence it would make sense to go for CS5.
Is there a problem.
Regards,
George Webster
George, if you’re just interested in a free trial of CS5, then please see the first link in our very first reply to you above. Best of luck!
HEY SIR, I WANTED TO DOWNLOAD FREE PHOTOSHOP FOR MY MAC… TELL ME HOW CAN I??? WHERE CAN I GET THE CRACK FILES AND WHERE TO PASTE???
Sorry, that would be illegal, and not a good idea:
A Word on Adobe Software Piracy – “If It Sounds Too Good To Be True…”
All the links redirect to CC downloads…
Adobe stopped selling Creative Suite standalone on their website several years ago… The reason is because CS5 is almost 10 years old now (from spring 2010) and unsupported; they stopped releasing updates for it long ago as the newer CC rapidly grew and took over.
With the CS6 software EOL and end of support, there are no updates, no bug fixes, and no guarantees it will run on the latest or future operating systems. So it’s not really a good or viable option going forward.
So really the only path forward for Adobe is CC, which are considered better tools anyway, because Creative Cloud subscribers can choose either or both versions.
With Creative Cloud, all ongoing upgrades, compatibility updates and product additions are always included – so becoming obsolete will never happen. The monthly payments are also more budget-friendly in the new model than in the old CS model – where the software used to cost many hundreds or often thousands of dollars upfront, and never evolved.
