Question

Can you still download Creative Suite Programs if you own them?

I had the Adobe Creative Suite which I kept on my computer even though I began to use Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.  The reason I keep the Creative Suite on my computer is that I didn't often use In Design or some of the other programs, there were times when I wanted them and yet I didn't want to pay the significant price for the whole Creative Cloud.  Then tragedy struck and my computer died.  For some reason, the resurrected machine came back to me without InDesign.  I have my registration key for it, but can't find where to download it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help.

Phyllis

The Creative Cloud Suite is available as individual applications and as a collection of all of them. They are only available on subscription. You download the application(s) onto your computer (you can use them on two computers, though not at the same time) and use them in the normal way. Adobe checks online periodically that you’re up-to-date with your subscription. You can have either Windows or Mac versions or one of each. There are no keys, so you must have had an earliers CS version. There are three ways of paying - yearly in one go; monthly, with a year‘s commitmen; monthly (but paying more than the yearly commitment) but you can suspend payment for the month(s) you don’t need it - minimum one month.

Note, old versions of InDesign may not work on the latest versions of operating systems.

The following link is for Creative Suite 6, but if your copy is an older one, scroll down that page to where it says "Download old versions" and there will be links to download installers for Creative Suite 3, 4, and 5. Your registration key will work with the exception of Creative Suite 3, but the CS3 link will bring you to a page that explains why and will offer you a free replacement CS3 registration key.
