How many InDesign Creative Cloud application can be installed on a system

[Shonky_N]

Hi All,

I am having Adobe Indesign CS6 and Adobe Creative Cloud licenses. I want to know if it's ok to use InDesign CS6 and InDesign CC15, 18, 19 and 2020 versions on a system. Someone told me that I can use only two versions of InDesign in a system even if I have a license, please confirm. I chat with Adobe executive and they also not sure so it's a very bad chat experience.

I hope you guys can help me to understand.

Only the current and one most recent versions are available.

Thanks Bob for your response I can understand that only two versions available to install in the CC app. But if I am installing the app as it's version increasing then I can use only the last two versions on my machines or many (e.g. InDesign CC, CC15, 18, 19 and 2020) including InDesign CS6 license which I have separately.

No, this is wrong. You can use many versions of InDesign (I have CC 2014, 2018, 2019 and 2020). The only limitation is that you can activate these versions only on two machines simutaneously.

Thanks for your reply. I am using just one machine and I think you have given my question reply. I tried to chat with Adobe executive as well and he is also unsure.

You might have problems running InDesign CS6 under recent OS's.

Thanks Derek! I know InDesign CS6 having an issue with Catalina but I am using Mojave so there will not be an issue. My question is if there is any legal issue to use Adobe InDesign CS6 along with all the CC versions of InDesign.

If you have them installed they will run together. For legal questions the EULA is here:
