Can't launch Indesign CS6 because my Indesign CC subscription is expired...

[cgbeige]

I canceled my Indesign CC subscription because the app lags constantly and went to go back to Indesign CS6 but now it won't launch because I don't have a subscription. How do I fix this? It's obviously very tedious.

Uninstall and reinstall InDesign CS6 using your original serial number.

All I see in /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers is:

Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

Uninstall Adobe Bridge CC 2018

Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud

Uninstall Adobe Illustrator CC 2018

Uninstall Adobe Lightroom Classic CC

Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2017

Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2018

No ID CS6 uninstaller

ok - found it in the ID application folder

[cgbeige]

that did not fix it. Same error on launch after reinstall.

Try using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool before reinstalling InDesign CS6:

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

well I have Photoshop CC 2018 installed so I need that to keep functioning. Does that break it if I run the cleaner tool?

[Steve Werner]

I don’t know. You can always reinstall Photoshop CC after you have InDesign working.

OK - that worked. Thanks.
