Adobe Creative Cloud CC 2018 Direct Download Links

Below is a table with direct links for all of the CC 2015 applications. These links go to the authentic and original files residing on Adobe’s servers, are guaranteed genuine, safe, legal, and will not change. To shorten download times, Adobe no longer packages both the 64-bit and 32-bit Windows versions in the same installer – so choose the one that’s right for your machine. If you’re unsure, then see this Microsoft page for how to determine which type of system you have.

In order to enable the direct links below, Adobe’s servers must first set a special permissions cookie on your browser. If not, then you will receive an “access denied” message instead, and the connection will fail. So please follow these instructions carefully or the links will not work!

0. Adobe recommends temporarily turning off any surfing restrictions you might have running, like site or cookie blocking, filtering, firewalls or antivirus software.
1. Click «HERE» to visit this page first, before clicking any of the links in the table below – this is critical!
2. If asked, sign in with your Adobe ID or take a minute to create one for yourself (free).
3. OK! Now you’re logged in at Adobe with the browser cookie set, so you can instantly download any of the software below. Just make sure you have enough disk space.
4. Download the files either by clicking directly on the DDL links, or by right-clicking and choosing “Save Link As…” on the popup menu.
5. For Windows, the download is either an .exe file or a zip file (with a .7z or .zip extension). If not an .exe, then you can use a free utility like 7-Zip to extract the installer from the .7z or .zip file. For the Mac, it’s always just a single, straight­forward .dmg file for each program.

[UPDATE (Oct. 2020) – These links still work to download most original CC 2018 installers. If you’re using Chrome and they don’t work, then try with another browser. If you’re looking for direct links to the newest 2021 versions, then see this post.]
