As per the following documentation on the error code, try updating your Creative Cloud app and then try

thanks for your answer! i already tried all that, and as far as i can see, my creative cloud is updated to the newest version. but still i can't install indesign. nor photoshop, illustrator or premiere. whereas mediaencoder and audition worked (don't need these, but i thought i'd try.)

any suggestions?? thank you!!

Konstantin, please see https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/can-i-run-my-adobe-apps-on-apple-computers-that-use-the-apple-silicon-m1-chip/td-p/11623236 which discusses using Adobe applications on Apple's new M1 processors.  You will want to follow the instructions under What if I've already used the Migration Assistant to resolve Error 403.
