@Terry44 I haven’t said anything about Adobe having anything up on their website about this matter. I said that I contacted them and they gave me the information about how to use the older version so respectfully I’d say your statement that this is incorrect is in fact incorrect. Here is a screenshot of part of the page that Adobe sent me a link for in order to activate my non subscription version of the programmes.
I can’t remember who asked about this but I’d suggest that they contact Adobe and tell them that they can’t update to CC because of the version of the operating system on their computer and how do they activate their Adobe products. This is what I did and they provided me the necessary information to do this, including download links to allow me to activate my Adobe CS3 apps.

Despite the fact that I hate Adobe I still have CS5.5 and 6 running without any problem on Windows!
I use Sublime Text 3 next to Pinegrow now.

Here’s some links I’ve found that might be useful but read through page(s) first:
