Compatibility chart for Nikon DSLR and Adobe Camera RAW & DNG Converter (Updated 20-03)
You're likely here because Adobe Camera RAW will not open your NEF files. Don't worry, Nikon Capture NX-D has arrived. It's not only pretty good, but also FREE!
NOTA BENE
ACR plugin versions are ONLY compatible with the indicated PS/Bridge versions. In case of doubt check the Adobe website.
If you cannot instal an ACR plugin, more likely than not you are trying to install a new version in an old(er) version of the program.
DO NOT try to install incompatible ACR plugins in your Photoshop, Lightroom or Elements plugins folder, they will not work!

Although Adobe now uses a subscription-based licensing model called Creative Cloud (CC), the latest Camera RAW plug-ins are still compatible with Photoshop CS6.
Because ACR updates are now pushed, Adobe only provides links to the DNG Converter (including the ACR plug-in), the latest version of which can be downloaded here.
People who buy a camera that is not supported in their current Photoshop version, i.e., a version previous to CS6 / CC and have no intention of subscribing, still have the option to use the latest DNG Converter or -- even better -- the free Nikon NX-D software (see below).
