Question

Deploy add-ons without CC Desktop Application

  • October 6, 2015

I currently manage around 100 computers that need a specific add-on to be installed on all the computers.

Installing the CC Desktop Application is NOT an option because of the nagging to log in with your adobe account and asking to run updates on users that do not have permission to do so.

Because the Extension Manager was killed off in CC 2014 this leaves no other known way to install add-ons into adobe products other than the CC Desktop Application.

Is there any other way I am missing that allows me to deploy an add-on to multiple machines without using this app?

According to Adobe Exchange your options are as follows.

Options & Next Steps

If you are a developer or Adobe Exchange Producer, the following options are available to you:

  • You can distribute your products through the Adobe Add-Ons website. Add-ons can be distributed publicly (free or paid) or privately (free to named users), Learn more about sharing products privately
  • If you still want to sell extensions through your own websites or via other channels you can build your own installer or provide instructions to your users for using Extension Manager command line functionality to install your extension. The Extension Manager command line tool is available for download at the following links:

If you are a user, the following options are available to you:

  • Acquire extensions, plug-ins and other content using the Adobe Add-Ons website.
  • Contact the developer of your extension and request that he/she create an installer for it.
  • Users and Enterprises that are unable to use the Creative Cloud application or Adobe Add-Ons can still use the Extension Manager command-line tool , to install and remove your extensions. The command-line tool has been updated to support the next major release of Creative Cloud, v. 2.1.1.110.

The Extension Manager command-line tool looks like it will do what I need. Testing it out this afternoon.
