Looking for a free download of Adobe Illustrator CS2, CS3, or CS6?
👉 Try Inkscape now (safe & legal) Q: Can I download Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free?
Versions prior to CS6 (e.g., Illustrator 10, 9) are considered abandonware, but Adobe still holds the copyright. Downloading them from abandonware sites is technically illegal and unsafe.
There is no legal free version of old Adobe Illustrator.
Adobe’s Creative Cloud allows subscribers to install older versions (e.g., CS6, Illustrator 2020) via the Creative Cloud Desktop app. This requires an active subscription.
