  2. I’m back unfortunately… lol
    I had to do a system restore on my laptop which runs on Win8.
    I have File 1 and File 2 saved to a folder on my desktop. How do I open the 7z file so I can start the installer?
    I hope this makes sense to someone. lol Thanks in advance!!

  3. Hi, I’ve tried Cs4/3 Ai & Ps MAC version and this message appears:

    ‘The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.’

    Do I need to do something on my MAC? Please help me to use Ai and Ps. Thanks

  4. Hi – new here. Impressive site.

    1. Can I download the trial version of AE CS4 standalone WITHOUT the other CS4 programs here?
    Link here?

    2. If so, can I purchase a license from you directly JUST FOR AE CS4?
    If not here, where?

    Thanks

  5. PS from above.

    I downloaded the trial AE CS4 only from the Creative Suite link above.
    For test purposes, I installed on WIN7 with no problems. Works fine.

    But…I do want the other progs on CS…so can I purchase a perpetual license just for AE CS4 ONLY after I download the trial version?

    Thanks again.

  6. Hi, the links for Adobe CS3 Master Collection & Production Premium are not currently working anymore. Have they moved somewhere else, or is there an archive.org entry for this?

    And yes, I have visited the link & am logged into Adobe right now.

    -Thanks, Abe

  7. Hi,
    In step 1, I clicked onto the link leading to Download Adobe Premiere Elements | 2022, 2021.
    Currently my OS is Mojave. Am I suppose to find an earlier version Adobe Premiere Elements, or just download 2022, or 2021?

    I just need CS4 photoshop and CS4 illustrator.

  8. Hi,
    I didn’t see my previous message, I just want to download just CS4 photoshop and CS4 illustrator.
    Do I need to download Download Adobe Premiere Elements | 2022, 2021 from step 1?
    I have OS Mojave.

    • You don’t need to download or install Elements at all, but following those instructions (first) is essential in order for the direct links to work… That process sets a session cookie on your browser that is required by Adobe’s download servers; otherwise you will get “access denied” instead when clicking on the links.

  9. Hi,
    From clicking the Setup in CS4 Photoshop, I get the following message:

    System Requirements Error
    This software cannot be installed because the file system of the setup volume is not supported.

    Mac OS is Mojave.
    What are some suggestions?

  10. Hi,
    I have an official version of CS4 with installation DVD, but my new MacBook Air does not have a drive…
    Do you think I can use your link with my serial number to find a final version?

    Thanks

    Reply
    • Yes, you should be able to use the direct download links above to do that. These offline installers are the same as what was burned onto Adobe’s CD-ROMs and DVDs.

  11. Thanks so much for the downloads you have set up.

    I am trying to find a product key for Adobe Illustrator CS4. I am happy to buy the product key.

    Illustrator CS4 has a function which has not been present since, and I need it for my work.

    Is there a way to get a product key for the downloads you have on this page for Illustrator CS4?

    • Hey Paul,

      Sorry, Creative Suite has been end-of-life for almost a decade and Adobe has not sold CS4 since 2010.

      So there are no longer any good options for purchasing it. Most “secondhand” or used copies that you might find online are fake or scams:

      Why Never to Buy Adobe Software on eBay, Craigslist or Amazon Mkt

      In any event, it’s not a really good investment to buy unsupported and outdated legacy software from 2008 that won’t even install on modern operating systems like macOS.

    • Thanks for your swift response.

      I have been doing some research and I think what I need was carried over to CS5.

      Do you know if there is a way to purchase Illustrator CS5?

      Looking forward to hearing from you.

      All the best

      Paul

    • Hi Paul, it’s the same exact answer.

      If you don’t already own these programs from years ago, then the best you can realistically do is download and install them as 30-day free trials.

    • Thanks for your prompt responses. I really appreciate them.

      I have spoken to a few friends who have the CDs of CS5 with the passcodes. They said they will send them to me as they are now using CC.

      My problem is no one I know, and they are all talented graphic designers, has been able to reproduce what the Live Trace Lettering function can do. They have looked at the levels resulting in the Live Trace Lettering, but no one has been able to do what the software does on its own. I have no idea why Adobe removed this amazing option.

      I have been in contact with Adobe and even they said they are willing to guide me on how to do it but they couldn’t guarantee it would do exactly what the Live Trace Lettering did as once they moved to Image Trace it was a different set of parameters.

      I will get CC later on in the year, but for now I need that Lettering option.

      Thanks again for your time, if you ever need any calligraphy, please do not hesitate to ask, you have been so immensely helpful.

      All the best

      Paul

    • You’re welcome Paul, our pleasure. And thank you for the update and clarification.

      Regarding using Image Trace, perhaps this page might help?

      Glad to hear someone can get you an authentic copy of CS5 to use in the meantime.

      If you have specific feedback or a request regarding a feature in CC, then we would urge you to send it directly to Adobe here.

      Take care and good luck with it!

  12. hi, i am trying to download the premiere pro cs4 download but i keep getting this error after finishing the extraction that says to check the amount of storage or write settings on the folder; i have already checked these and they are all fine.

    i got the photoshop cs4 to work just fine though, so i’m not sure of the problem. thanks!

    • Sorry, not sure; what is the exact text of the error message you received?

      Knowing that is important to help, and googling it can often find a solution.

      Also, what is the operating system and version you wish to install the software on?

      Nobody else has reported a problem, so we’d definitely need more detail in order to help you out.

    • sure, here is the exact error:

      A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder.

      i have tried multiple times, but it always does this. thanks for the help!

    • Make sure the downloaded files are stored on the same disk drive as where you want to install the product to.

      For some reason, having them on different disks (or on a USB/flash drive) can trip up the installation.

      Also right-click on the file and try installing with Admin rights.

    • that did the trick, i appreciate it! the save folder for downloads was set to an external drive, and i was trying to extract it to my computer’s hard drive.
