Adobe CS5 Suite Editions Comparison

Adobe is offering free trial downloads for all its CS5 software products via ESD (electronic software distribution) method, which can be used for 30 days for free, before end-user decides whether to part with hard-earned money to purchase and buy the licenses with activation serial key number.

The setup installers of Adobe software products are available for download from Adobe servers. By default, Adobe is using Akamai Download Manager to transfer the files over Internet, as the download size can be as big as several gigabytes (GB). Akamai Download Manager has resume download capability, just in case download is terminated prematurely. Users who want to direct download the Adobe CS5 trial version can also click on a button on Akamai Download Manager’s pop-up dialog window to direct download the files without using the Akamai, or simply download using the following direct download links. The direct download links are also useful for people who is encountering problem or error with Akamai.

Here’s the official direct download links to the trial or demo version setup installers of various Adobe CS5 products on Adobe servers itself. Thus, the downloads are genuine, authentic and official version.

Note 1: The trial version can be converted to full production and fully licensed version by simply entering a genuine activation product serial key number from retail or volume licensing channel and activate the product and unlock all restrictions.

Note 2: The trial version may lack of some components such as additional languages, codecs and Acrobat when comparing with full retail version. So if you’re planning to buy Adobe CS5 product, download after purchasing.

Note 3: As the file size is big, it’s recommended to use a download manager to ensure download is complete.

Tip: If you have problem or face error when installing Adobe CS5 products due to previous versions, use Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool to remove and uninstall completely the previous versions.

Important: For the following direct download links to work, downloader has to visit and click on “Try” link of at least one Adobe product in order to set the proper download cookies which permit direct download. For convenience, just click here, which is the link to download Adobe Design Premium trial. If the step above still does not allow direct download, register and/or login to Adobe account. Otherwise, an “Access Denied” error message will be displayed indicating you don’t have permission to access the file.
