I am a new user and just days ago purchased from Amazon Adobe In Design.  I use a desktop iMAC but the software will not install once it is downloaded.  Also, must I use the Cloud with this program?  Thank you.  Tim Bagwell, Bloomington, IN

InDesign is only available from Adobe, you may have been subjected to a scam.

The Adobe Creative Cloud applications are downloaded to your computer and used in the usual way, i.e. they are not Cloud based.

Adobe does sell subscriptions on Amazon. I've always purchased directly from Adobe so I don't know exactly how that works.

I think you should have recieved a redemption code from your purchase (double-check all your emails from Amazon and Adobe). Here are the instructions to redeem it:
