Having a hell of a time trying to install InDesign

Hey there
We're running CS5 in our studio but have been supplied a CS5.5 indesign file. I tried to download the 30-day trial to convert to IDML but on three Mac machines and two Windows machines I tried to install it on I get the error "Adobe InDesign is not properly licensed and will now quit."
This is on a mixture of machines that have previous had Adobe software installed and also machines that have never had any software other than Reader.
I've tried uninstalling, CS cleaner tool, reinstalling, the works. Tried calling Adobe Support from here in New Zealand and got hung up on twice, before I could talk to a human.
In our frustration we tried purchasing a subscription license and entering it to start the software. Again, "Adobe InDesign is not properly licensed and will now quit." Even on a totally fresh install (after the cleaner etc).
What on earth is going on?? Is there something wrong with Adobe's servers?
I've been up most of the night trying to resolve this. So frustrating!

I'm having similar issues with the CS5 download.
I've been using CS3 for the last few years and I JUST used it on Friday, but today I'm getting a notification that licensing for that product has stopped working.
I tried downloading InDesign CS5.5 just to use the trial version for a project due this week, and I've gotten through the download and everything, but now every time I try to "accept" the terms of use, the dialog box disappears and then reappears with the same "accept" or "quit" options.
Am I missing something?
Any tips on how to get this thing to work?
Thanks!

  • I'm trying to install indesign 2.0 on macbook pro - help!!!

    I'm trying to install indesign 2.0 on macbook pro (10.6.8, 2.66ghz, corei7, 8gb). Everytime I try to install it from the CD, the install software crashes.  Any help would be really appreciated!
    thanks

    Is this ID 2 or ID CS2. I would not be at all surprised if ID 2 would not work or install, that is ancient software. It came our in 2002 and was the first version to support OS X. InDesign CS 2 came out in 2005. It is not intel native. It is quite long in the tooth. This is probably the last chance to update to CS 5.5 without purchasing a new version from scratch. That doesn't really solve your problem. I'd suspect either you have too much RAM or the problem is you might be booting using a 64-bit kernel. Can you check to see if your machine can boot with the 32-bit kernel.

  • Trying to install InDesign CC

    Hi
    I am trying to install InDesign CC, I have downloaded the Create Cloud Packager and using my serial number I generate the MSI package and the only error message that appears in the build log is:
    No file exist at (C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Adobe\ICTS-Adobe-InDesign\Build\ASU\Tools\CCC\Uninstall\deploy \remove.xml)
    When I run the install then it does not show anything and the Windows message pops up saying that this program wasn't installed properly. There were no shortcuts created, and nothing obvious in the x64 or x32 Program Files folders.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    Gary what version of the software are you trying to install?  Is it Creative Cloud or Creative Suite?  Also which operating system are you using?  Do you receive any specific error messages?

  • Trying to install InDesign 5.5 update.

    Trying to install InDesign 5.5 update. It says I don't have a qualifying product. I most certainly do. I have Design Premium 5, and it is registered. So why won't the update install? This is urgent - I have a project due tomorrow morning.

    You have upgarded from design premium cs5 to indesign cs5.5 , which is a invalid upgrade as Adobe doesn't provide the upgrade from the suite to the point product.
    You need to contcat Adobe support to get this thing sorted out as the installtion will not go through.
    To complete your project you can install Indesign as the trial and then use it for the 30 days and in the meantime contact Adobe support.

    Without system info and other details nobody can tell you much. This simply means that you run out of (temporary) disk space, maybe because the drive is really full, maybe because you have insufficient user privileges...

  • Trying to install InDesign (Adobe) but when I double click the Install it calls up FTP Client Ultimate?? What is the install program for MACBook Pro?

    I'm new to MAC, that said I really haven't had much trouble with it except today I am trying to install Adobe InDesgin but it keeps trying to use FTP Client Ultimate  to do so.. What is the installer that it should be using? I was hoping it would auto start and install but no such luck..

    Thanks, I have posted to Adobe regarding their program, but my question here ( I'm new to Mac world) is what install program would normally install this? For some reason my MacBook pro keeps calling on FTP Client Ultimate to do the install and clearly that's not the right program to install a program..
    I Love mu Mac, but getting help is a it frustrating...
    i'm sure Apple has a program similar to InDesign, but have no idea what it would be..

  • Having a heck of a time trying to change which itunes account is used.

    I purchased my iphone a couple weeks ago and initially set it up with my wife's Itunes account. Now I have set up my own but I can't get the phone to accept it under the app store. So far I have deauthorized her account on my pc ( lost all my apps which is fine ) and even went so far as to uninstall and reinstall the software on the pc. Tried downloading an app under my signon and syncing but it still comes up with her logon on the phone. What else can I try?

    Upon syncing your phone it should set the account info on the phone based on what account you have your iTunes logged in with.
    You can also change in Settings on the phone (Scroll down).
    Note, apps that you have bought are still on your computer and if both accounts are authorized under iTunes you can sync them still but when updating you will have to use old account info. It knows the difference. If you are trying to get same apps again but they are on computer not sure if it will replace or not. So if you plan on re downloading may want to fully delete them off the computer.

  • Trying to install InDesign CS3 on a new PC with Windows 8.1.

    I downloaded the Installer for CS3 and used the original disks.  It appeared to successfully download but would not run.  As mine was an upgrade version I did an Upgrade Check but could not get beyond the information required for a qualifying product.  I previouisly used PageMaker 7.0 and this is not one of the listed choices.  I used the Compatibility Troubleshooter and got an "incompatible program" response.  This doesn't make sense given that there is an Installer for CS3.  Any thoughts?

    I entered the CS3 serial number.  As it is a new computer I did not load the old PageMaker 7.0 program that I have not used for years.  PageMaker is not listed as a qualifying program.  I still have the disks and serial number for this program but there is nowhere to enter it.  Given that there is an Installer for CS3 I assumed that I should be able to use the program.  Is there any way around this?
