How to Deploy the Adobe Remote Update Manager (RUM) on Machines Where it is Missing?

We have thousands machines deployed (both Windows & Mac) that do not have the Adobe Remote Update Manager (RUM) installed all Adobe apps were not installed using a custom package.

 

I've reviewed the Adobe article titled Use Adobe Remote Update Manager  (https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/using-remote-update-manager.html) and concerningly the article says:

  • You cannot run RUM on a machine on which you have not previously deployed a package.
    This means that, if you download RUM from the Tools page on the Admin console (Packages > Tools), and run it without previously deploying any package on the machine where you are running RUM, you will get an error

 

What is the path forward to get the Adobe Remote Update Manager (RUM) installed & functional on machines with existing installs of Adobe products that were not installed using a custom package but public facing installers?

 

Key points & Requirements:

  • All Adobe products are all working fine so far on those machines
  • We do not want to & cannot interrupt the user by:
    • displaying prompts, and/or
    • forcing restarts, and/or
    • uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe apps
  • We have a mix of individual apps and Creative Cloud apps

 

Many thanks
