Archive of older versions- Adobe Bridge?

Hi everyone,

I am hoping that someone here can help. I currently own a mid-2010 iMac27 that I need to install Adobe Bridge on I am currently running not-quite-current versions of Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic just fine. When I log into my Creative Cloud account and try to install Bridge, it tells me that my iMac is too old for the current version. And no, upgrading my hardware at this time is *not* an option. Adobe has been NO help. I have searched various threads in their forums, and tried various links that I have been given, but it keeps circling me back to the same place, which is the download in CC which tells me my hardware isn't compatible.

Is there *somewhere* out on the internet an archive of older versions of Bridge CC that I could get to? Thanks for the help.

You'd think that Adobe might offer downloads of old versions of the DNG Converter. After all, it's their "backwards compatibility" solution for older Adobe applications. But as far as I can tell, they only offer it for recent versions of Windows and macOS.'

With respect to Creative Cloud applications, have you already seen this page?

It's hard to know what to say without knowing the versions involved. You can still download Adobe CS 6 from Adobe, and that goes back to I think 2014, but since I don't know the system the OP is using, hard to tell if that will work. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs6-install-instructions.html

Fortunately there are things you could probably use as an alternative.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply (and Tom too).

My system is a mid-2010 iMac 27. I did follow that link that was posted...and all it does is take me back to where it wants to install the current version...which it can't.

Sigh.

When I follow that...it doesn't show any older versions...which I find hard to believe.

Hope against hope...I am going to try Adobe support and see if they can help.

I too am in need of older Creative Cloud installers. Surely someone out there has kept an archive…. ?

The value of any CC installer archive has gone down since Adobe started ceasing support of old activation servers. That means, you can have the installers, and a machine the installers work on, and get it installed, and boot the app, and then...

...the old app asks for online activation, the server is no longer there, and you can't continue. Even though you have every last bit of the software itself.

In the past the site below has been helpful (it is legit), check the list of links on the right of the home page. But the versions in the list don't go back as far as some want to.
