Question

Seeking older InDesign 16.4.?

If only I had known! I am on Mojave OS and uninstalled CC apps to make temporary room. Then shocked to discover I could not re-install. Of course I'm on a project deadline. I am looking for InDesign 16.4.? download (and Illustrator). Is this hopeless? 

Adobe support suggested posting here to see if anyone has this for download. (They used the word regenerated). I am afraid to update my OS while in the middle of this project in case that gets complicated too.  Thank you for any help or ideas!

 

I posted this to a thread but just figured out how to create a new post so please forgive newbie etiquette.

@Juliana23674527r95m,

Creative Cloud customers are expected to have modern equipment & operating systems, no more than two versions back.  Mojave isn't supported by the current Creative Cloud desktop app.  Apple has released 5 new systems since Mojave-- macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura & the current one, Sonoma. 

 

If your computer is too old to support the latest OS, maybe you should consider replacing it with a Windows PC.  You'll get more bang for buck and you won't need to get a new OS every year.   Something to consider.

please don't post duplicates, but again 1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesigntools.com*.

3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links**.

---------------------------------------------------------------
* most (but not all) adobe download links are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

follow the directions (esp, step 1)

save the install file. it may not remain online.

thank jim @ prodesigntools.com

** this support is currently not available. ie, there's a significant gap (between 2019 and last year) in the available previous versions.

opposition to this decision (to limit available previous versions) has been conveyed to adobe officials who are therefore aware of the problems caused by this policy. however, unless/until changes are made, nothing can be done to legally access these files.
