Good afternoon Can I run and work in Adobe InDesign 15.1.3 on the new M6 processor?

Community Expert

Not personally. My answer is based on all of the released system requirements for the M6. This information indicates its need for the most recent Mac operating systems for which InDesign version 15.1.3 is not supported.

Hi @Radiant_Auraaf4e , Is the reason for staying with ID 2020, and not upgrading to either ID 2025 or 2026 because of a Plug-In that no longer runs on the newer versions?

It is possible it may run using Rosetta 2, but Rosetta is scheduled to be dropped next OS upgrade (28). That means you are either stuck at OS 27 or will need to subscribe to the Creative Cloud.

The OP mentions InDesign 15 which was InDesign 2020, I think so he/she already has a CC subscription. I can’t imagine any reason for needing anything that old at this point, though.

I should have said “update to the current Creative Cloud”. Still having my morning coffee...

Try it, but I highly doubt it will work. The worst possible outcome would be a factory reset.

No. The M6 requires the more modern versions of the Mac OS (Sequoia or above). These versions of the OS require InDesign version 20.0 or above.

The first question to ask is how do you get the installer for that version. Adobe supports and provides download for only the latest two versions. v15 means 2020 should be fine on this processor as this version could run on Apple Silicon if I am not wrong.
