Welcome Saged, thank you for your questions. However, we are hopeful that with the significant delivery of direct download links for 25 new CC 2018 apps above, Adobe will iron out the workflow and get back to producing these installers as a matter of course going forward, including for future updates. Since that time, it has been a struggle for customers to get the industry-standard, offline-capable installers that they need. New Adobe CC 2015.5 Release – But Where Are Direct Download Links? You can read more details about this change (and its impact) here: The CC Desktop App is required to manage this process. ![]() Then, in June 2016, Adobe changed from using standalone installers to a new proprietary technology where the application package is broken out into several components and these components are downloaded and installed simultaneously (parallel mechanism). Christmas really has come early for all Adobe users Worldwide.) ReplyĪctually, historically up until the middle of last year, new offline installers were available as soon as new Adobe products were released – and we curated the direct download links for all of them.įor example, here is every single update for CC 2015 on Windows and on macOS. (Any guesses as to what I’m going to do after having pressed the big green “add your comment” button? Yeah, you guessed right, download some love, CC 2018 love. It’s just a real shame Adobe did nothing to communicate this fact to its faithful users, whilst people such as myself castigated Adobe for their seemingly endless spin.īut finally, we can all rejoice and bask in the brand spanking new offline CC 2018. The two go hand-in-hand, and only now has it become apparent exactly what Adobe’s well-meaning intentions were all along. Once thorough testing had been undertaken under a myriad of complex scenarios, thereby hoping to simulate its user base often complicated computer configurations, with Adobe confident in their procedures, only then Adobe released each offline CC as individual products (because there is nothing worse having filled with aggravation and complaints from disaffected users who are suffering from activation and licensing issues, as has been the case with previous CS products).Ĭoinciding with the release of all offline CC products as individual applications, Adobe announced the availability of individual subscriptions for each CC application. It seems now, though this is just my opinion, Adobe wanted to ensure each offline CC product had a bullet-proof activation procedure, as well as each application’s activation being independent to other currently installed or future-installed applications. Certainly not a good reflection upon their Marketing Cloud product. Adobe failed miserably on the marketing side, and it’s my opinion Adobe should have been more open to what they were hoping to achieve. In spite of Adobe offering another cloud product, Adobe Marketing Cloud, a collection of integrated online marketing and Web analytics products, Adobe marketed the offline downloads, with a heavy dose of spin but no substance. However I really do wish Adobe hadn’t lead us all to believe the offline installers were only just around the corner, for the best part of almost two years. Now look who’s got egg all over their face, and who’s been eating humble pie all weekend – moi. So all those Adobe managers you spoke to at MAX 2018 recently were indeed telling the truth after all, Oh dear ProDesignTools, if were a betting person, I would have lost US$1000, money that could well have gone towards a CC 2018 subscription. That’s my confidence in Adobe dismissing offline installers as from the Jurassic era. If I were a betting person, I would bet US$1000 that Adobe will never offer offline single file direct download installers for InDesign, InCopy, or Dreamweaver CC 2018. ![]() Previously, there hadn’t been any new direct download links at all for apps like InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Animate for over two years! ![]() We are working with Adobe to see if we can get standalone installers for ongoing CC product updates released and published, as they have been in the past… (for example, as we have for CC 2015 here on Windows and macOS) But, we don’t have an answer or roadmap yet for CC 2018.īut again, after a year of great effort to get a complete set of new offline installers created, we are thrilled to have these available for customers now. No direct links for any updates, at least not yet. ![]() So no, at present, these are the only versions. And, for the moment, we feel very lucky to have these. On your other question, there are currently no other direct downloads available for CC 2018. The table is kind of tight on space, so perhaps the easiest thing would be to indicate the installer’s version number when hovering over it with your mouse. It’s a chunk of work though, so we’ll think about it.
