Installation older version of InDesign (v.16)

You have to contact the Adobe support and ask for a download link. Adobe has discontinued releasing public download links of app since CC2020. The only way to get a download link of an older unspported version is via support.

To contact support via chat please follow the steps below:

1. Go to https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
2. On the page that opens up, it should automatically open a chat popup. If that doesn't happen look for a call out/chat icon at the bottom right. Click it and the chat popup should open.
3. To talk to a human employee type "AGENT" in the chat box.
4. If you are not able to get to the chat window, disable your adblockers and/or firewall, enable cookies/scripts on your browser. If it still fails then change your browser/machine/network.

P.S. Be mindful of answering anyone who sends a private message to. See the following for more information about scammers:

use a browser that allows popups and cookies and contact adobe support by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human

p.s you can also use phone (but chat is usually quicker), https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

p.p.s. you can also use twitter to tweet @AdobeCare

p.p.p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-community/td-p/12919684/redirect_from_archived_page/true
