Can Remote Update Manager (RUM) control the application versions during update (version control)?

Hello Community,  I would like to deploy Remote Upgrade Manager (RUM) to desktops. Then I would like to continuously run it (like auto pilot).  However, I want to control the version that the  applications are upgrading to. for instance, I may want to upgrade Adobe PhotoShop to v21.1.1, not v21.1.2. I prefer to test new applications versions before deploying to all users.  Please let me know if there a switch, command, or funciton, that will help control the app version for  (PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Acrobat, when being updated by RUM on supported Windows Operating Systems.  Thanks for your help everone

Hello,

RemoteUpdateManager can target particular major versions of applications if you specify them on the command line (e.g. PHSP#20.0 or PHSP#21.0, where the .0 denotes "the latest version from that major release"), but you cannot target a minor release as in your example, unfortunately. You can only update to the latest version of the applications which are installed.

To install a specific minor release of an application, you would need to have a package from the Admin Console created when that version was available.
