Looking for help concerning SmartStyles

Report · Mar 09, 2024

Hello old hands of CS5 (are ther still any?),
I do need some help:
I am still working with ID CS5 and have got to continue with it on an old computer (10.11.6). I used to work with Smart Styles (I think it's 3.3) and somehow I managed to mess up the SW and some features don't work properly any longer. So it would be time to re-install. Problem is: I somehow lost the installer file and WoodWing tells me that they can't provide me with it any longer since they don' have it. Hence my question is: Has someone got the installer file for CS5 (probably version 3.3)?
I still have my serial number; but that is of no use without the installer file …
I would be extremely grateful for any help!

I don't think it's ethical to ask other users to share an installer for software. You've already contacted the supplier and informed it's no longer available, even from them.

If the supplier is ok with you getting an installer from someone else, then ok, but I don't think it's fair to ask people to share software installers.

I strongly suggest you reach out to the suppliers and get their permission to request an installer from another user.

Usually EULAs do not allow sharing installers.

Sorry, I know you need it so I'll leave the thread open in case there is an update for you.

What is it in Smart Styles that you need?

Maybe InDesign current version and do what you need without a plugin.

Maybe an upgrade would suffice in solving your issue?
