How to Download and Install InDesign 2024 on macOS When Not Listed

"Hi everyone,

I recently switched to a new MacBook and I am trying to set up my workflow. I have several ongoing projects that were created using InDesign 2024 (version 19.x).

To ensure the layout and formatting of these existing files remain perfectly intact, I do not want to convert them to the latest version of InDesign at this stage. I specifically need to install the 2024 version on my new machine to continue working on these files.

However, when I check the 'Other Versions' section in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, the 2024 version is not listed or available for download. I have searched through various Adobe help pages but haven't found a direct download link or a way to make it appear in the app.

Could someone please guide me on how to access and install InDesign 2024 on a new macOS system?

Thank you in advance for your help!"

    And they wonder why people pirate software. They sure make it hard to download their software unless you have a brand new shiny Mac just off the lot.

    I updated my macOS with Sonoma and I absolutely need the Adobe 2024 version. However, according to Adobe's policies, I'll have to replace my macOS because they don't support the latest versions. It seems it no longer makes sense to continue as a subscriber to the service. Because before I had to format, I had Adobe support for my macOS Big Sur. I've been looking for a solution for two days, simply because you refuse to allow the installation of an older version that you have in your repository. Adobe's logic is extremely perverse.

    Thank you for your interest. I'm getting the error "Error Installer is corrupt. Please re-download the installer and try again." during installation. I've downloaded it twice and received the same faulty product both times. Why is this happening?

    Hi ​@mehday33,

     

    Thanks for your patience. I’ve shared more details with you over DM, so please take a look there.

    Also, just to mention, as per Adobe’s support policy, we officially support only the current and previous version of Creative Cloud apps. You can refer to this here: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/support/programs/cc-support-policy.html

     

    I hope this helps.
