Hi,

I have subscribed to Indesign in 2021 and I need to reinstall it, but the only version I can download is Indesign 2022 that is not compatible with my device. Where could I download Indesign 2021 ?


Thank you

check your account to verify your subscription includes id, and to verify your adobe id, https://accounts.adobe.com

 

if that shows your id subscription, sign out and then back in to your cc desktop application using the same adobe id used to verify your subscription: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

 

then reset the cc app:

to reset the cc desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

now check your cc app preferences to make sure show older apps is still enabled.  then check cc app to see if you can install id 2020.

 

if you cannot install, request a direct download link from support:

 

using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human


Ok thank you, it finally work via a direct link.

Now I can see the option "older apps" in the CC app, it seem you must have Indesign already install to have access to this option.

@Manan Joshi those instructions are missing a step.  first you must enable showing older apps in the cc preferences (file>preferences>apps>enable show older apps):

If it's compatible with your computer, you'd install it from the Creative Cloud desktop app.
