Not all CC apps show up on Parallels installation

Hi all!

I have a subscription to the whole CC suite which is running fine on my Mac. Now I'm trying to install the apps on Windows via Parallels, as well. (Why do I need to? There's an app that exists only for Win and it can interact with Illustrator and After Effects if it's installed locally.) However, after installing CC on my Windows, only Photoshop and Lightroom show up amongst the available apps. (I'm attaching screen grabs to illustrate the problem.)

I already tried the Adobe CC Cleaner tool, it didn't help.

Any other ideas? Would be much appreciated.

Best,

Ikumi

Same problem here, it's absolutely insane. MacBook Pro M4, with Parallels, WIN11. On Mac all apps, on WIN only Photoshop, Acrobat and Illustrator for Tablets.

This is a really messy set-up complicated with trying to combine native mac OS with Windows 11 and a VM in between. Eeeek!

For simplicity sake, just get a Windows laptop for Windows apps and keep Mac for your Mac apps.

Ah one more very important thing. Is this an Intel Mac or an Arm (M1/M2) Mac?

1. How much RAM is given to the Windows VM?

2. In the Windows screen shot, there is a button for Photoshop and a button the same for Lightroom. Please translate that button to English for us. (for example Open/Install/Try/Buy/...)
