That means you have access to all the latest updates and future releases the moment theyre available. Adobe InDesign is part of Creative Cloud. Though, we still are getting the above error message.Īt this point, I'm ready to do a full uninstall of all Adobe CC Software and reinstall from scratch. InDesign is available as part of Adobe Creative Cloud for as little as 20.99/month (or 9.99/month if youre a previous InDesign customer). When I go to install that update, the progress will proceed to the end and an error will appear saying 'update failed'.ĮDIT: After attempting an install and waiting 20min at 99%, InDesign did fully install. Upon logging out and back in for reinstallation, the CC manager program will say that InDesign has an update. Occasionally, on reinstalling the progress will get stuck at 99% for 20-30+ minutes without any movement. We could immediately log out of admin, log back into the user account and ID would have the same error message as when we started.Īll these steps did not make any changes to the issue. We were at one point able to get InDesign to launch correctly but only in the admin account.

I should note that we've attempted all these steps in both the users account and our administrator account.

My current machine is a mid-2012 2.3 GHz i7 with 8GB of memory and a 256GB flash drive, and the GPU (dual video cards). I do everything from brochures to graphics-intensive 200-page books. We've gone through many troubleshooting steps involving uninstalling using the CC desktop tool, running the Adobe Cleaner, rebooting and reinstalling. I use Adobe CC every day on my MacBook and mostly InDesign. The primary problem is that after installing InDesign CC 2015.5 on the users machine, they will be unable to launch it due to the error message below.īefore deleting anything (wouldn't want the user losing their data), we went into all folders in ~/library and user/library that reference adobe and preferences, added the user to that folder's permissions group and made sure the changes were applied to all child folders.ĭespite doing this, we would still see the error message.

The trial gives you seven days to use the full version of the page layout tool, including access to all the latest features and updates.

There was an earlier semi-related issue where we couldn't get the Adobe CC manager program installed due to an issue where it already thought it was installed but this has since been resolved. InDesign is a paid-for tool, but Adobe lets you download a free trial of InDesign for both Windows and Mac (just click on the View deal link above to take advantage of it).

Myself and the senior Mac technician at my office have been working on a users machine for the past 3 days and we can't seem to get anywhere.
