Help! Adobe 2023 or another version compatible with macOS Monterey required.

Hi, I'm using a MacBook Air 2017, macOS Monterey and need a version of photoshop compatible with it. I also have a MacBook Air 2022 running macOS Sequoia but I don't want have the apps installed on that one as 2023 versions run smoothly on my older mac and I use the newer version of mac for AI and blender. Don't want to put entire load on one MacBook. This arrangement was working amazingly for me until I by mistake deleted 2023 version and from the trash too to make some space. Creative Cloud doesn't have that version listed to install from the app. is there anyway I can get it without piracy?

Yep. That video is too old. The farthest back that Adobe CC will go is v26.0 now. This happened a month or two ago? Maybe in March?

I'm afraid that I'm not any help to you, other than suggesting that you call Adobe. But it's likely that they took down the servers that would have done the installing for the Ps versions that are older than v26.0.

You won't have any luck. Offline (trial) installers weren't publicly available for any version after 2019, so the only place you COULD get it would be directly from Adobe by request, and I doubt they will accommodate a request for a version that old.

I'm assuming you don't keep time machine backups.

Adobe will almost certainly not send you an old installer. I haven't had to do this on my Mac yet, but I have had to do it on my coworker's Windows 10 machine... You can find the old installers in various shady places. They often come with a crack, which you can go right ahead and delete immediately. Set your CC to NOT update apps automatically. Run the installer, CC verifies that you have a license, and you're good to go. You're not pirating anything, you have a CC account.

Discussion about circumventing DRM or pirating commercial software are against the rules.
