We have a team member that recently started. He has InDesign version 16.4. The company is using InDesign version 15.1.1. Whe he logs in (example below) he doesn't have the version he needs to install.

Please help.

Thanks.

Adobe now offers the current and ONE older version via the online program manager
.
I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link
-NOTE that you will have to search the site for your specific download
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 external hard drive, or write to a DVD

    For some time, Adobe has only supported the currently released version of an application, and the application just preceding it. The current version is 17.0.1, the preceding version is 16.4. They are not providing previous versions like 15.1.1.

      If you have the correct system specs would you consider upgrading everyone to 17.0.1?
