Question

I need to use the latest AND an older version of InDesign

Currently using InDesign v16.1.

Can I also download and use CC2020 InDesign v15 (one client has requested I do so and it isn't showing as available)?

Should I overcome the aforementioned, will v15 even run on Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3?

Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process
--will only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or hard drive, or write to a DVD

in the cc app, click file > preferences > apps > select 'show older apps'.

Thanks for the response.

 

I am on a Mac so I don't get the option from the route you described. But I do get this and remember, I want to use the latest version AND 2020 v15 (it doesn't go back far enough).

the current version is v16 and you can go back one major version to v15.  that will be the last v15 so it's not going to be 15.0.0.

 

if you want something older you can use the prodesigntools.com links in @John T Smith message though this is more direct:

follow directions (esp, step 1) and secure the installation file. it won't be available in perpetuity.
