P: PS Beta 24.6 not available in CC; stuck at 24.5

Hi, everyone.

One of our IT team members who is an admin managing Adobe software provided me with a DMG file that directly downloads the 24.6 Beta version without use of the CC desktop app. As of today the CC app still shows 24.5 as latest available, but this DMG allowed me to download and install 24.6.

@CShubert and @Kevin Stohlmeyer, are you able to provide a link to th eDMG? I know there are multiple versions of it as well, one for Intel and one for ARM/Apple Silicon.

One note-- my initial attempt at install didnt stick, so to speak. After the installer finished, the PS Beta app did not appear in my Applications folder. So i restarted, but still nothing. I then ran the installer again, this time manually specifiying that it install to my Applications folder, and that seemed to do the trick.

It's almost like Adobe should change their rollout policy instead of piecemealing every different enterprise IT issue. Seems like a bit of a systemic issue. 

Installed and opened latest Photoshop Beta available to me, 24.5, on my M1 Max MacBook Pro, MacOS Ventura 13.4.  Immediately get small window at upper right with message, "Time to update!  It has been five weeks since this  Prerelease build was released.  Please install the latest build via Creative Cloud to stay up-to-date with features and fixes."  But the info in CC app says the Beta is "up to date", and no newer Beta is available to me. Nothing I do makes it available, and nothing I can find in the forums has helped.  This is an MIT Enterprise account, and they place no restrictions on Betas.  I very much want 24.6!!!  Please help!

Hi @evanp76938536 if you are in a Teams managed environment, check with your Admin to make sure they have enabled Beta Application access for you for this version. We've had others report that IT has restricted this specific version due to the AI tools until they can determine risk.

"Enable Install of Beta Apps"

I've restarted computer several times. I've signed out of CC, then restarted computer, resigned in, checked for updates several times.I've deleted opm.db file and restarted etc. Not sure what else to do here. Other team members that I work with have access. So strange. 

Hi @evanp10051399 those areas are not restricted. Check your CC desktop app for updates to the Creative Cloud app, then check your Apps/Beta Apps. Check previous posts if you are unsure where that is located.

Not available in all geo locations? So the east coast of the US is locked out? Washington DC? Why?

Hi Cory. i resolved the problem. it was my bad, i didnt know we had to install the "photoshop Beta" version from creative cloud in the Beta tab. i did that and it worked. so im all sorted - Thanks for your help

OK, so scratch the above.. another IT team member, one of our Adobe admins, hit me up to tell me the following:

We do not limit or block the beta versions, however, Adobe may be rolling it out in stages which is common, so it may be available in a few days or weeks.

In my Creative Cloud, I see 24.5 as the lastest beta, but another admin sees 24.6.

He then suggested trying some of the solves mentioned here and other threads, such as hitting the "Check for updates" option in CC desktop.

So, unfortunately, mystery still unsolved.

Problem solved.  I found it in the section of beta apps on Creative Cloud.  I was looking in the wrong place.
