Starting with the February 2016 release, Flash Professional has been renamed Adobe Animate. This change more accurately represents Animate's position as the premiere animation tool for the web and beyond. With the February 2016 release, Flash Professional is listed as Adobe Animate in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
