Can't open InDesign CS6

I am trying to open up InDesign CS6 which I downloaded 3 years ago. At one point I did have InDesign CC but I never used it and canceled my "subscription" about a year ago. Now when I try to open InDesign CS6, it automatically takes me to the Adobe "Renew Subscription" window for CC. I have never had this problem with Photoshop or Illustrator and I used/have both CS6 and CC for those applications. HOW DO I OPEN InDesign CS6??

uninstall everything cc on your computer and then run the cleaner for cc, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then open id cs6>click help>activate>enter your serial number.
if that fails, uninstall id cs6, clean for cs6 and then reinstall id cs6.

Can't Open Indesign CS6 Files In CC

How do you open indesign CS6 files in CC?

That sounds like there is no file association for .indd, and I'll bet you uninstalled CS6 or some other older version after you installed CC. If that's the case, uninstall and reinstall CC to repair the damage to common files and the file association.

I can't open InDesign CS6 files by double clicking on them.

I have changed Preferences in the application and have changed them in Windows, too. The app opens but does not open the file. Anyone else have a fix for this?

Check the registry. The standard key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.indd should be "Indesign.Document".
Then in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document there should be a standard key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command with the path to Indesign, like this "D:\Tools\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe" "%1".
Then it should actually work.
In case the icons are wrong, there are two keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Icons\Default that can be fixed.

Can't open Indesign CS6 doc in CC

Hi, I've been having no trouble up to now opening a document I worked on in CS6 in the test version of CC I downloaded for a free one-month trial. But today I copied the doc from my usb key to my desktop, and when I try to open it in CC, I get a message saying "Impossible to open".
I don't have CS 6 here at home and really don't want to trek to the office on the weekend to work on it.
Any ideas?
thanks
A

There's a good chance the file is damaged. Removing a USB drive before it's finished writing is a common problem.

Can not open InDesign cs6 from the Adobe Master Collections CS6.

I receive a window showing Confituration error:
"Please uninstall and reinstall the products.
If this problem still occurs, please contact technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 15.

I've uninstalled all Adobe programs, even ran the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. It didn't seem to solve the problem. Would really appreciate any pointers.

I'd call Adobe Tech Support. Installation questions for current products are handled free.

Can't open indesign CS6 program

It crashes on startup after stating "executing startup services". Have tried restarting my com. But still the same.
Im using windows btw.

So what are you doing to diagnose the problem? You need to remove third party plugins, create and try a new user account, try starting in Safe Mode to eliminate conflicting programs, diagnose the fonts (Troubleshoot font problems | Windows), etc.
It might be as simple as a conflict with your Anti-virus...

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version?

Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version? And does the ME version interface in English or Arabic?
I have a translator who sends me InDesign files using the Sultan font, but when I open it, a lot of the font shows up as math symbols. I have the correct font installed, but I'm wondering if I need the additional features of the ME version of InDesign to make the type correct on my end.

I don't believe my CS6 is from a Creative Cloud subscription. It was installed by my IT department, so I will ask them.
When I receive the files from the translator, they send both an InDesign file and a PDF, so I can see it as they see it. However, the InDesign file looks like this:
But the PDF file looks like this:
They sent me the font file, so I'm assuming I have the right font and the issue is on my end. Or perhaps not?

InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign, InCopy CC can

I have CS5 to CC installed on my machine (MAC). Using indesign CS5 to create a layout then export all stories for inCopy. InCopy CS5 cannot open the indd. CC can... I can open the individual .icml files though. If I use InCopy CC, I can check in > edit > check out and save. InDesign CS5 will be able to re-open. A bit confuse now on why InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign files anymore. Event files created pre CC update. Attached are the errors I get when trying to open with InC CS5. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

I know. That's why I don't understand. I really used CS5 to work with InCopy CS5. Even try older files that were saved prior to CC-CS6 update and I get the same error. Didn't have InCopy CS5. Install the demo version. Can it be the issue?

Will I be able to open InDesign CS6 files from the latest CC version?

Considering Cloud purchase and want to check compatibility. Will I be able to open InDesign CS6 files from the latest CC version? Thanks for any advice on this.

You can open files in CC from CS6 and earlier.
Due to updates to the text engines you might notice a text reflow - note that text won't reflow until it's interacted with.

I can't open InDesign 7.5 in OS 10.9.4. Are they incompatible?

It should be. What happens when you try?
Did you copy or migrate your InDesign files to a new computer? That won't work. You would need to remove all the CS files with the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstall from a clean installed copy.
