Unable to reinstall Indesign since doing clean reinstall of Monterey on MacBook Air

[jamess96418846]

Hi, I happily had Indesign 19.1 installed on my MacBook Air (Early 2015) with 4gb ram. today I did a clean install on my macbook air, as it had several users (my kids - with all the rubbish) and I wanted to reclaim it as my own. It is now like new with no applications and running the latest version of Monterey. I went to reinstall Indesign, which I desperately need and was using fine before and now it is saying my laptop is incompatiable and I need 8GB ram. I never had this before and it was fine! Help! I really need this app. Is there anyway I can download  a version?

does your computer (os) meet specs, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html

Most Creative Cloud apps work on these systems, no more than 2 versions back:

• Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 23H2, 22H2; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
• MacOS 15 (Sequoia), 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura).

Min 8 GB of RAM (16 recommended).

I understand your point, @jamess96418846. The latest versions of InDesign require a minimum of 8GB RAM, which is why you're seeing the incompatibility message. Since you were using InDesign 19.1 before, it’s possible that the system check was bypassed during an earlier installation, but after the clean install, the compatibility check is being enforced.

You can check the article shared by the expert above to know all the minimum system requirements for Adobe Creative Cloud apps.
