I have an old iMac with high Sierra 10.13.6. I can't do any update on my Mac.

I need to use Indesign (a version of Indesign that can works on High Sierra).

Where can I find it?

 

Thank you in advance,

Andrea

The Creative Cloud desktop app will only offer the latest version of InDesign and one back. There is a trustable website called ProDesignTools which offers links to earlier versions. Recently they have no longer been able to offer links to the more recent versions but I believe that links to CC 2019 and earlier (which will work on High Sierra) are still offered and usable. Try going to https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2019-direct-download-links.html.

You're going to need a new computer if High Sierra is the cut-off on yours. That machine has to be at least 10 years old. These things don't last forever.

In addition to Bill's advice:

 

I know that many users successfully install newer systems on unsupported Macs by using OpenCore Legacy Patcher:

https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

 

In which case you should be able to use the latest InDesign versions.

 

I personally don't have any experience with this and only post it as a general info which you may or may not find useful. If you want to know more I recommend to check forums on MacRumors.com - there are many active discussions on OCLP there.
