Does this exist yet? Anyone else figured out where the plugins are for this release?

    you have to buy fontexplorer 6. that's a criminal solution that Monotype use to force you to give them Money again. The only solution would be we boycott this commercial policy and start use another program for managing font. we all can change the situation! Don't upgrade to version 6 and leave... the will hopefully rethink this stupid decision. Fight for your right as a Designer... also a Designer have some

    Do any of the other font managers update the plugins for previous versions? I'm pretty sure Extensis don't with Suitcase.

    Extensis certainly does. With each release they may drop a version or so. Suitcase Fusion 7 supports CS6 and later.

    In FontExplorer, in the Tools menu click on Plug-In Manager.
    In the window that appears there is a button that says Check for Plug-in Updates.
    You click and update the plugins used by the program.
    I hope it's what you were looking for ...

    I have had illustrator and Photoshop issues. Complete system crash.

    Photoshop was saying it was out of RAM when I have 24GB installed and 18GB available.

    Once I removed the Fontexplorer Plugin and the Filter Forge Plugins all seems fine.

    I did however uninstall illustrator (Causing the complete system crash) and reinstalled.

    I hope this helps somebody.

    I plan to activate the fonts manually and continue to use the new products which seem great!

    If you require a plug-in like that for CC 2017, run CC 2015.4 in the meantime.

    Each time a major release comes out the file format changes and there may be changes in the SDK which require some code re-writing. This doesn't happen immediately.

    yes - but once the auto upgrade are made for adobe apps, the ancien versions are erased... that's loosing control, and that's the way it is now... so for the moment, no FXP plugins for CC 2017, and cool your jets if you want, but you are in deep sh ! (just like me)

    This thread explains how you can revert to CC 2015:
