Adobe Softwares

[ComicChick]

I've put a lot of money into Adobe products over the years. Around the time that they went to a monthly subscription service, I upgraded to a new computer.

On my old computer, I had Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Fireworks (which is obsolete I believe now?) and Illustrator

I don't mind having to use the older versions of the softwares that I had on my old computer, but is there a way to get them onto my new computer? Or can I transfer them from the old desktop to the new one and have them be usable?

Does Adobe offer a way to continue to use their old products that we paid for, or are they all gung-ho into this Creative Cloud subscription stuff now? Thanks

the one i mainly want to switch over is InDesign.

How did you get your old software?

 

[ComicChick]

i got them when i took some classes at school
even with discounts they were still pretty pricey

 

[Lily Adler]

Did you download them or install them via CDs?

 

[ComicChick]

Man you ask the hard questions lol. If it was cd, i def don’t have them anymore but I feel like it was a download. And there’s a chance that I still have the serials in a file (cuz I’m nerdy like that sometimes)

If you downloaded it and registered it. I would think Adobe had a similar function like Microsoft that links it to an account so you can just download it again.

hmm... i'll look into that but i dont remember ever registering it with an email or anything. i'm afraid if i did, it would've been with my school email

i'll look into it though. if not, i'll just have to bite the bullet and subscribe for a month or two

You have to see if you can downgraded it. Because if you download it, then it by default gives you the latest version.
