Pantone Color Manager Windows installer?

[wonderings]

Just wondering if anyone has the Windows installer for Pantone Color Manager? I have a couple of licenses and this would save needing the Pantone Connect subscription for a little while. I don't need hacked software, just a legit installer for Windows if anyone has one available. I have been unable to find it online anywhere.


Thanks!

I’ve been looking for the Pantone Color Manager Windows installer too, but it’s really hard to find now since Pantone replaced it with their Pantone Connect platform. You might only find it if someone still has the original installer saved from an older swatch purchase.

Hi @jasonkevin. I kept the installer I provided to @wonderings. Message me your email address and I will send the installer via WeTransfer.

Best regards,

not much traction in this section. Sadly Pantone Color Manager no longer works with Adobe. In the past I could export the Pantone libraries with it but Adobe has seemingly plugged that hole. Not an offset shop anymore as we have gone all digital, still annoying that they are forcing purchase of their subscription service rather then let us continue to use what we paid for in the past. We are not buying the Pantone library yet and will probably just work with spot colours for anything we need to send out for offset 1 and 2 colour printing.

I have turned my older Windows workstations to Virtual Machines using VMWARE.
This allows me to work on a modern computer under a current OS and keep using all my older systems with all the software I want to keep working with.

I used to do this, but now on a modern Mac with an M1 chip you are more limited to what you can run. For Windows earliest I can run is Windows 11 ARM. Can only run MacOS VM's that work with the M chip series. Same would go for Linux, needs a Linux version that runs on ARM. To update my last post I was mistaken and the Pantone Color Manager still works and adds the libraries to latest versions of Adobe CC. Such a bizarre thing, not sure I ever would have imagined that Pantone colours would just not be there in the Adobe software.
