   • Hi Jv, just click on the green “Download” button in the article to download the book, and it will be be yours forever!

4. I had a license for CS4 and lost the program when we did some computer migrations. I still have my old 24 digit license access code. Is it possible to pay to upgrade to a more recent version of Adobe Photoshop?

   Thank you,

   • Hello Del,

     Adobe no longer offers upgrades from CS4 to the ‘traditional’ versions of the software…

     However, they do still offer discounted upgrades from any CS4 tool/suite to the latest Photoshop CC (with a Single-App Subscription for $9.99 a month) or to the complete Creative Cloud including all major applications (via a Full Membership for $29.99 a month).

     Hope this helps.

5. I have a new laptop without a CD/DVD drive and I’d like to install CS6 master suite that I bought previously. Can you please direct me to the right site to download the software – I have the valid license number to enter when prompted to do so.

   • Sure Rosemary, here you go:

     Adobe CS6 Direct Download Links – All Applications for Windows and Mac

     The free trials there will convert to licensed versions when you enter your valid purchased serial number.

6. I plan to freelance with the most up-to-date features.

7. I signed up and received the “Thanks for subscribing! Here are your free Adobe eBooks” email, but for some reason I was only allowed to download one book.

   I was hoping to be able to download the Lightroom book as well so that I could become more familiar with the program, but it says I must be a member. I don’t understand.

   • Hey there Don, sorry you’re having difficulties… You should be able to download any of the books after logging with your Adobe ID (which isn’t our requirement but theirs).

     For the one in particular you’re talking about, please read through the comments on the free Lightroom book page to help solve your issue!

8. Download link not working for me…

   • Welcome Prabhath, could you please give a bit more detail or be specific about what the difficulty is – including what message or error you are getting, if any?

     Did you happen to try it from a different browser, or another computer or device?

     Also, are you restricting or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs?

     Are you running any other utilities that might limit your web surfing, like Ghostery, Adblock, or Disconnect? Or possibly your firewall, antivirus program (esp. Kaspersky), or other third-party security software?

     It could be because of over-aggressive software or utilities like these. For downloads, Adobe suggests temporarily turning off anything that might be interfering.

     We’d be happy to help, but need a little more information on the problem you’re running into – thanks!

9. I opine that each time I click on the download green oval, I get a message that the site it takes me to is insecure and there is a blue back to safety rectangle to click, which I do, this was for a free book from Adobe which included Photoshop among other Adobe products.

   • Have no idea why that happened Joe, sorry. We’ve been Adobe partners for many years and there is absolutely nothing dangerous or unsafe going on here.

     Did you try with another browser, or a different computer or device? Also see our previous reply just above your comment for some other suggestions.

10. Please I’ve failed to download one of these free books. Could you please help me with some guidance

    Thanks

    MIKE

    • Hello, not sure we understand the issue – could you please give more details on what you’re trying to do, and what the difficulty is? Any error or other messages? If so, what is the exact text of that?

      Sorry, we’d need a bit more detail in order to help.

13. I signed up for the 10 free books but the link takes me to this page and there is nowhere to download my 10 free books, have I just given you my email so you can canvas me, it’s very confusing, the link should directly go to the download page, not this overloaded information page, can you please assist by sending me a link directly to the 10 book download as promised when I provided my email.

    Thank you

    • Hi Christina, sorry for any difficulty you may be having. All the books come from different publishers and places/sites. Some come direct from Adobe, but most do not.

      It would absolutely not be allowed for us to reproduce any of them, or copy them all into one place… We have to respect each author’s copyright, as well as their source & means to provide the books.

      What we’ve done collect all the information on these helpful resources to provide to our readers, including descriptions and links for each title. Most Adobe customers were not aware of all of these free books, and the vast majority of visitors here are grateful for them.

      For this particular ebook, clicking the “Download” button in the post above will take you to the place on Adobe’s site where you can easily download the Adobe Design Suite Basics book in its entirety (5 MB in size).

14. Thank you.
