Unified Installer Installation MethodThis method is only applicable if you haven't yet moved to our subscription or you're still using CS6 (which is not supported on the subscription). In both cases you would still be using our legacy licenses. Legacy licenses are licenses purchased before 12 September 2019. We do not sell them anymore, but licenses that were purchased before the above date can be reinstalled using a Unified Installer.
If you are on the subscription then you will pay for all of the tools. With greater value for money you then receive automatic access to all new releases, updates, upgrades, added compatibility, training and support. If you haven't yet moved to the subscription and wish to reinstall your old licenses, you should have a record of your license keys for future use with the older Unified Installer installation method detailed below.
Before you revert to older plugins using the Unified Installer, ensure that you use the Astute Manager to uninstall all subscription versions of the plugins. Read how.
Legacy plugins will not work above Mojave (macOS 10.14):
If using Legacy licenses it will be necessary to remain with Mojave and you should not move to Catalina or above.
Do not move to Illustrator 2019 or above:
If using Legacy licenses it will also be necessary to remain with Illustrator 2019 as previously purchased plugins are not compatible with Illustrator 2020 or above.
When you upgrade to a new version of Illustrator, in the advanced options of the creative cloud app, deselect "removal of previous versions of Illustrator".
The unified installers available on this page will install the last available versions of our plugins on Adobe Illustrator CS6 to Illustrator 2019 for both Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 and macOS 10.10+.
Please quit Illustrator, then download, open and run the appropriate unified installer.
Ensure you use the correct installer for your version of the plugin and your version of Illustrator.
Once you have run the installer, re-open Illustrator and copy your license key numbers then paste them into the activation windows for each plugin.
To open the activation windows for each plugin, you may need to open the licensing summary in Illustrator (Help > Astute Graphics > Licensing Summary) then click the Activate option next to each of the plugins that you wish to fully install.
Please note that the unified installers provided in the links above include the last available Installers (v1.3.6) released in August of 2019. These will allow you to install your already purchased plugins on the following:
Macintosh
Illustrator CS6 - Illustrator 2019
MacOS 10.10 to 10.14
Windows
Adobe Illustrator CS6 - Illustrator 2019
Windows 10 / 8.1 / 7
