Your decision to demand reactivation of a working program AND THEN NOT ALLOW THE REACTIVATION TO TAKE PLACE is reprehensible.
Your technical rep called the CS3 suite an "end of life" product but it wasn't; it was enjoying a productive middle age until you put a bullet through its head. "End of life" should mean when new operating systems won't support it, not when you arbitrarily decide to kill it. I purchased that program outright and at significant cost, and you just stole it from me. I've always admired Adobe products but everyone involved with your business models should be ashamed of themselves. I plan to make my case against you LOUDLY on social media and in any other way I can.

InDesign online help lacks an important point (bug in help text, not in the app)
You should mention in the online help text at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/frames-objects.html#object_export_options_cc_cs6_cs5_5 that a vector object's alt text will not be included in the epub file unless you also set the export settings to rasterize the object. (Basically: you can't include a vector object to an epub file in a vector format. Not even it's alt text.)

guide color white page and pasteboard color yellow
This is happened three times now. The guides appear on the screen is white even though there specified color in preferences still the default. The white areas on the screen such as the page and pasteboard color is light yellow.
The first time resetting the preferences fixed it. The second time it did not but re-profiling the monitor did. The third time neither fixed it and after rebooting InDesign gave me the "configuration error", "error 16".
I followed the instructions for this error that I found here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/configuration-error.html#mac_osSince this happened InDesign seems to be less stable and before and has crashed on me several times when I was quitting the program.
The next time the error occurs I will attempt to get a screenshot.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.11.6, InDesign 12.0.0.81 (And no I will not update InDesign to see if this fixes the issue)

"Keep with next" hasn't been working at all
"Keep with next" hasn't worked for a long time. It's completely unusable. It doesn't matter if I select "all lines in paragraph" or "at start/end."
Also, selecting "start a paragraph in the next column" doesn't work either. The text styled that way does not go to the next column; it appears as overset text.

New Format in InDesign CC
Beim Anlegen eines neuen Formats kann man rechts oben im Optionsmenu die genauen Masse eingeben. Mit der TAB-Taste kommt man dann ja immer eine Option weiter. In Adobe Illustator und in Photoshop funktioniert das in der gewünschten Reihenfolge, im InDesign (deutsche Version) nicht: da folgt nach der Breitenangabe bei betätigter TAB-Taste die Frage nach der Einheit (z.B. mm etc.) und dann (nach weitere TAB-Taste) erst die zweite Grösse des Dokuments (also die Höhenangabe). Eigentlich sollte die logische Reihenfolge ja lauten: Breite > Höhe > Einheit.
In english:
When creating a new format, you can enter the exact mass in the upper right corner of the Options menu. With the TAB-key you always get an option. In Adobe Illustator and in Photoshop, this does not work in the desired order, in InDesign (German version): since the width is indicated by the TAB key pressed, the question is about the unit (eg mm etc.) and then (after another TAB key) ) Only the second size of the document (ie the height). Actually, the logical order should be yes: Width> Height> Unit.Beim Anlegen eines neuen Formats kann man rechts oben im Optionsmenu die genauen Masse eingeben.

Ctrl + Alt + X
To use the shortcut "Ctrl + Alt + X" to do a hard space in the text is impossible - it doesn't work at all. When I press "Ctrl + Alt + X" I start some sort of screenshot function. When I chose "Hard space" from the menu it works as it should do.
So please help, I miss my "Ctrl + Alt + X" -function.
1. InDesign 2017.1

3. I expect to get a hard space in the text.

Enable Layout Adjustment Fails
After Enabling Layout Adjustment, then changing the page size, I get an error message that reads "Internal error communicating with AI rulebase. Layout adjustment could not be performed."
The document page size does in fact change, but pages in spreads actually overlap. Rulers at top of page do not show correct page size except on single pages (for instance, the first and last page of a facing-pages document).

There is a chance you close your file without knowing you have not saved it!
It is very simple, just follow the steps below:
Create a new file.
Type a letter (lets say "A" for example) and save your file.
Change the letter to "B" [Notice the "*" beside the file name and the "Save" Option being enabled in the file menu, since the file has been changed]
Save the file again. ["Save" command and "*" disappear]
Now, undo the last change (Back to "A") and save.
Now if you redo the change, you will have "B" in the screen, Notice that the file has changed since your last save, but you neither see the "* nor have "Save" command enabled.
InDesign simply acts like you have saved the file, and it is current, you may easily close your file and lose your progress. This may not be important for small changes but could be a disaster if the number of steps taken are high, which has happened to me once.
