Removing Older Creative Cloud Products

Feature Request - for the CLI Uninstaller, it would be nice for the Adobe uninstall tool to "speak"/"understand" the Marketing Versions (2024, 2025, 2026, etc) of apps? This request ("I want to remove <App> 20XX with the CLI uninstaller") comes up frequently but has a significant stumbling block because most Creative Cloud apps' true version numbers do not equal the Marketing Version and typically don't equal each other.

For example, the existing CLI uninstall syntax is:

sudo ./AdobeUninstaller --products=PHSP#22.0,ILST#25.0 Which is <SAPCode>#<BaseVersion> .

Something like this:

sudo ./AdobeUninstaller --products=PHSP#2025,ILST#2025 Which is <SAPCode>#<MarketingVersion>

Would be fantastic to have going forward.

    you can uninstall older cc app versions using the cc desktop app, now.

    In my case I need to be able to remove multiple CC related products via the CLI on a large number of Apple Mac machines enrolled into an MDM solution
