    I have been building massive and complex map designs in Illustrator for 15 years. The software has been on a general trajectory towards managing these big files better. However, recently - I have found that the 2026 and 2025 versions are not as stable or able to open, read and edit my massive files as an older version (2022) that is on my machine. I would like the ability to install these older versions because in the simplest terms - they are more stable - less glitchy - freeze less than the newer versions with my big Ai files. But Adobe only makes available the most recent couple of versions. I have a new machine on which I'd like to install the 2022 version - but it is not available. I can understand that Adobe may no longer "support" or update older versions - but why make them unavailable to install - buyer beware. Please consider keeping older versions available. I (like many people forced into the ephemeral subscription-based model) feel that this software that I paid for (back in 2018 or 2022) should be accessible to me so that I open and edit files that I generated with it.
