The release of CC 2015 highlights the impact of the Software as a Service (SaaS) model on creative industries. Under the old Creative Suite model, major updates were released every 18 to 24 months. With Creative Cloud, features could be pushed to users immediately via the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application.

For versions as old as 2015, they often won't appear in the "Other Versions" menu. In many cases, users have successfully obtained official installers by contacting Adobe Customer Support directly through their chat service and explaining their need for a legacy version.
