Adobe CS5.5 Trial Downloads: Direct Links (No Manager or Assistant)
Some of the most visited resources on this site are the direct download
links provided for most major Adobe products. Here is a complete set of
direct download links for all the new Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 software
(Windows and Mac), for instant easy access and the ability to use your
own download manager or download assistant if you have any difficulty
with what Adobe normally employs and need to access the CS5.5 trials
without it…
We have also linked the free CS5.5 Extra Content downloads (aka
Additional or Functional Content) for all available products below.
Below is a table for CS5.5 trial downloads in major languages. These links
go to the authentic and original CS5.5 files residing on Adobe’s servers,
and are guaranteed genuine and will not change. For Windows, each
program consists of up to two files, an .exe and a 7-Zip file (.7z). The .exe
file will only work once the .7z file is fully downloaded and resides in the
same location. For the Mac, it’s just a single .dmg file for each program.
The supported languages vary by product. The Western European
languages can include Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian,
Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. To see which product
supports which languages, visit the main Adobe trials page and then click
on the selection menu for whichever product(s) you’d like to try – it will
tell you which languages are currently available.
You need to have a free Adobe account and be logged into it to use the links below, as Adobe sets a
session cookie on your browser that allows you to access the direct download links. Otherwise, you will
receive an “ACCESS DENIED” or “RESUME YOUR DOWNLOAD” message preventing the connection. So
"please follow these instructions carefully or the links will not work"!
1.) Adobe recommends temporarily turning off any surfing restrictions you might have running, like
site or cookie blocking, firewalls or antivirus software.
2.) Click here to visit this page like you want to try Photoshop CS5.1, but don't download it.
3.) If you already have an Adobe ID, then please sign in with it (checking “Remember me“), otherwise
take a minute to create one for yourself while leaving that page open in that tab, return to this page.
4.) Now that you’re logged in at Adobe with the trials cookie set, you can instantly download any of the
software below. Just make sure you have enough disk space.
5.) Download the files either by clicking directly on the DDL links, or by right-clicking and choosing
“Save Link As…” on the popup menu – and save all files to the same place.
6.) Then follow the product installation instructions here.
7.) Choose from the downloads below, then click on the "File" to initiate your download.
8.) If you need assistance please feel free to email us or call our support line found here.
Note: Very Important
All of these trials are supported on Mac OS X or Windows (32-bit x86 and 64-bit x64), with the
exception of After Effects CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS5.5 which are 64-bit only. For more, see the
complete set of system requirements for Creative Suite 5.5.
Note there is no separate trial download for Photoshop CS5.1 “Standard” – the trial is always the
Extended version (having all Photoshop features including 3D and motion-based content), and then
you decide which version you’d like to keep at time of product purchase.
You do not need to uninstall previous versions of any Creative Suite; some users prefer to keep the
older, familiar version(s) around as they come up to speed with the new product’s features, and some
folks have CS3, CS4, CS5, and CS5.5 all on one computer.
It is suggested to use a browser other than Internet Explorer to download any of the files above. They
can be quite large and sometimes IE has difficulty with the file or the download. Using Google Chrome
or Mozilla Firefox will work better. You can download either by clicking on the icons provided below.

NOTE: Extra Content (also called Functional Content) is what Adobe bundles with some CS5.5
applications. They're technically optional, and not required to run the main products, but will improve
your experience if you can take the time to download and add it to your installation.
What’s included in this free additional content are typically media assets, templates, tutorials,
documentation, fonts, footage, sample files and projects, and so on. If you own a suite, you can
download the bundle for that suite, plus whichever applications are in it.
