So I recently graduated college, and thus my free access to the Adobe suite I had through the school is no more. However, I do a decent bit of video editing, so it would be really great if I could "re-obtain" Premiere Pro, without having to pay for adobe's stupid over priced subscription bs.

However, my knowledge of acquiring otherwise paid material online for free pretty much starts and stops at sketchy sites for streaming movies/shows. So how would one, like myself, go about getting Premiere Pro, pro-bono, without either giving my laptop a terminal disease or my internet provider sending me death threats ?

    It's not working. I feel like the issue comes around step 9, as nothing actually installs, all I get is the precursor screen to the install, where adobe wants my email/info to verify my account, which I obviously don't have, so I quit the installer, but then the "patch or drag" app doesn't seem to be able to do anything because nothing has been installed.

    maybe I'm just too stupid to do it correctly, or maybe it's broken and won't even work that way anymore idk. I feel like you need a computer science degree to do this stuff correctly, and I like to consider myself someone fairly competent at figuring out computer issues and following directions on how to do things.

      Hmm do you happen to have this particular version downloaded? 13.0.1?

      Mac torrenting csn be sometimes a little trial snd error. I was on apple flr 10 years before just recently switching back.

      Im assuming you did the show package contents bit in the app13.0.1.dmg? That seems to be the main way someone got it working.

        Huh, I found a torrent of the program uploaded just a few days ago, and did everything it's instructions said and now it seems to have worked perfectly. I guess it was just a matter of finding one new enough that the install program was still working.

        Regardless, thanks for all your help and advice. I've already figured out/learned a lot just from tonight, and now seem to have to program I was after. Thanks a ton! :fidel-salute:
