Hello, I am trying to have both InDesign 2024 and 2023 versions installed on my MacStudio. However, when I try to install 2023 it tells me if will remove 2024. Is there a way to have both installed? I need 2023 for a cloud app I'm using to make branded templates. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your responses. I was able to install both versions. I could only get 2023 installed by uninstalling 2024. Once I installed 2023 first I could then install 2024. Not sure why it wouldn't give me the option window when I had 2024 installed first. Happy to have both now on my new Mac Studio.  Below is the screen shot of the window I get when trying to install a previous version with 2024 already installed.

you can install both when using the cc desktop app to install.  in fact, all major versions are installed sepately from other major versions.  only minor version updates overwrite previous installs.

When you install another version of an app you get an option to either keep or remove the other version. Check out the following article this describes how to do that

Hello, yes it shouldn't. If you use the CC app, you can choose the installation version and work with 2024 & 2023. Can you share screenshots or video?

It shouldn't - how do you install 2023?
