However, from reading one forum question I browsed over it looks as if CS5 may not work on Windows 10 either? I am also able to get my hands on a CS6 version of illustrator if needed and have been told it is compatible. I was planning to purchase a windows based computer and install my illustrator and photoshop on it. So because of apples high sierra update I have a $1600 computer, a $1700 vinyl cutter and $800 worth of programs I bought that are now no longer useable for what I bought them for.ġ. The vinyl cutter is also just barely 7 years old if that. As of a month or so ago when I looked it appears that there is no plugin currently offered yet to communicate/run my cutter from CC 2018. I own a vinyl cutter which I design vectorized art in illustrator and send to the vinyl cutter. So here are my questions/options I am considering:Ī little background beforehand. But I may use one of the two once a month so I will essentially need to subscribe every month. Just too much for my very infrequent and basic needs from the programs. Since I paid a hefty sum and these programs are essentially for personal hobby use I don't really want to pay $300 to $600 a year to subscribe to creative cloud. I went from El Capitan which it worked fine with other than after I purposefully closed the program it would tell me that it quit unexpectedly. I have done all updates to my mac with no issues until the high sierra update which I unfortunately now realize has caused them to no longer work. I have CS5.1 of both illustrator and photoshop.


I have an iMac and bought illustrator and photoshop shortly after which was probably 2011 or so. I realize this topic has been discussed some but hoping I may be able to get some more/different answers.
