Installing InCopy using the "Creative Cloud Desktop App"
After the Creative Cloud Desktop App is installed, make sure that you are logged in with an Adobe account that has an active subscription, trial versions will only give you access to the latest release.
You can then install the correct version of InCopy/InDesign for your project. Before installing anything make sure that you have agreed with the agency you are working with which version you will use. With a Creative Cloud account you can install different versions on the same computer. All users must use the same version of InCopy/InDesign otherwise users will not be able to download their documents for editing.
If the documents are already available on CtrlPrint you can see which version they were created in, by logging in, navigating to the project page and clicking on the arrow (see screenshot below):
