Question

Can't install previous versions

How can I install a previous version (17.4.1)? All the instructions online do not match what i m seeing in creative clouds apps. The instructions usually say click on the ... next to the inCopy app which should open a menu where one can select other Versiosn. However, this option simply does not exist for me. Is there a direct link to download an installer of the version i want ? Or how can one get this option in creative clouds ? The most current version is not compatible with my device and i dont see any reason to upgrade my system for a simple tool like inCopy. Thanks

    What are your system specs? If it won't support InCopy 2023 it may not support InCopy 2022 and quite frankly, there's nothing all that simple about InCopy. If you refuse to upgrade a computer that is indeed upgradable, I don't know what to tell you.

    Version 17 requires as minimum RAM of just 4GB which is still unreasonable for what it's doing but okay. Version 18 already has 8GB as minimum. Knowing Adobe software I already account for abyssimal performance thats why I'm saying Version 18 is not compatible with my specs.  And frankly the question was not if you or anyone would upgrade their PC but how to install a version that is fairly new '22 and should do all the basic things. It's also not my fault that previous versions are badly coded and vulnerable (<17.2 for example with the heap overflow), otherwise I would go back further but thats not allowed by my collaborators.

    Well, regardless of anything else, it seems like the only thing you really want to do is complain. If so, that's fine, but nobody can help you if you don't give us your exact system specs and some screenshots of CC Desktop app.

     

    You should also be aware that you'll need to keep up with the InDesign users. Good luck to you.
