In addition to all other advices you receive:

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, am not associated with this product, 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.

InDesign 2020 which is no longer available for download. Time for a new machine if you can't upgrade your operating system past that.

Yeah pay 700 Euro a year for software and if you want a older version, no plese pay again 3000 Euro to another company.
Thats how economy works.

Serious a company like Adobe is not capable to serve older versions?

Macs don't have a high lifetime - I replace mine every 6-7 years.

I have a Windows 10 PC built in 2016 - runs InDesign 2024 no problems.

The only time I have a problem with a computer is on the Mac. Never have issues on the PC laptop.

I've been using both for over 25 years for production work.

Sorry to say - Apple, Macs etc. are not all they're cracked up to be.

Anyway - doesn't solve your issue - the issue is the lack of support for older software on Creative Cloud.

They stopped supporting older versions a while ago - you can only download the latest version and the previous version.

This helps them streamline and not have users on different versions, on different systems, with lots of different issues.

I agree, it's not ideal. At all.

But this is their decision.

If your computer doesn't support the software that you bought, then you need to buy a new computer that does support it.

For the record, I think you could buy a PC laptop for a 1/3 the price of a Mac that would work just as well.

The software is the exact same cross-platform.

Unless you have specific software requirements that are Apple dependent - I see relatively low reasons for spending high values towards a computer.

Macs are expensive, and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

I just got the M3 32gb - and it performs as well as my 2016 PC Laptop.

As I say - 25 years of production work on both - very little difference in how the software works.

Sorry if it's not the answer you're looking for.

But it's the way it is.
