Create the Adobe InDesign Registry Entry

If you have Windows 7, Adobe InDesign may not generate the required registry entry automatically when you launch InDesign for the first time.

You must have administrator rights on your workstation to complete the steps below. See your system administrator if you need help with this.

To create the InDesign registry entry, complete the following steps:

1. On your workstation, open Windows Start > All Programs and navigate to the Adobe InDesign application.
2. Right-click the Adobe InDesign application and select Run as administrator from the shortcut menu.

   This updates your Windows registry.

   You perform this step only once on a workstation. You need to repeat this step only if you upgrade InDesign to another version. You do not have to run InDesign with administrator rights after the registry entry is made.
