Unless you want to pirate or crack a particular version, I would suggest sticking to the ones which include a serial underneath.Active only for enterprise users and all users in China, discontinued everywhere else, i.e. If no serial is listed, we have not found any yet.
"I don't see a serial for (specific version here), is there one?" simply click on the serial, and it will be copied into your clipboard, ready for you to paste into the software you downloaded. Yes, serials are listed underneath the download buttons. If you can't solve it, feel free to message me on my twitter for additional help. If you have any problems installing, or are getting a weird message, it is most likely due to how old these installers are. "My anti-virus is acting up while trying to install, is something wrong?" *more caches will be added eventually, this is a newer addition to the site* There are MD5 caches if you would like to check and confirm for yourself. Yes, all the files on here should be perfectly fine. Software such as this is commonly refered to as "Abandonware".
These softwares were abandoned by Adobe, so it is basically a legal grey area. Yes, all these files are the official installers, and any serials were found to work with said official installers.
If you would like to get the word to Adobe that we want a legal way to use these old programs, sign this petition.Īdditionally, if you would like to support the continued development of the Adobe Archive give me a follow on my Twitter, send me any installers/serials you may find, share the website to anyone who may need it, or donate below!ĭonations allow me to personally devote more time to the Adobe Archive project, and pay for any web related fees I may enconter while building the site. This website is dedicated to archiving and keeping older versions of Flash alive, long after Adobe decides to pull the plug. I decided to create an archive of these programs, and the community helped me find every version I needed. Even if someone found a download link or purchased a copy off eBay, there was no guarantee it would be a safe download or a disk with a working key.
As a user of CS6 programs myself, I felt frustrated that these programs, which work perfectly fine, could no longer be purchased or downloaded by anyone, not without the chance of getting viruses anyways. In 2019, Adobe took down all installers for the older versions of their software.
