      I don't use nor pay much attention to Extensions myself, so I probably shouldn't even post, but...

      Don't I recall Flash-based Extensions are deprecated?  Only HTML5-based extensions will work?

      Please don't quote me on this; I'm only throwing it out so you might have different keywords to use for your internet searches...

      That's what I remember as well.

      So who has got what working?  I eventually managed to get CC 2014 to appear in the Manage Extensions list after reinstalling the Extension manager, and you can see several Extensions are listed.  Dmonzon tools is there twice because I installed v2 to see if it would work with 2014.  It doesn't.  In fact the only one that appears in 2014 > Window > Extensions is Kuler.

      Does anyone have anything else working?

      Trevior how did you re-install Extension manager and what is its level???  My Creative Cloud Application shows that Photoshop CC 2014, Photoshop CC, Photoshop CS6 and Extension manager CC are up to date.   Extension Manager CC only shows Products  Pgotoshop CC 32 and CC 64.  It does not show CC 2016 64 which I nave installed. I do not have CC 2014 32 bit version installed and Extension Manager about shot it at version 7.1.1.32  .....

        Im very disappointed to see that none of my extensions works with Photoshop cc 2014. ANd from what I understand the extensions needs to be reprogrammed to work. I guess there´s a good reason for this, but its very hard now to choose between using cc 2014 new features or stay with the old since there´s a lot of useful extension that is useful for working. bummer!

          It Adobe ever version of Photoshop seem to need its own version of the Extension manager and new Configurator. I stopped even considering building configuratior panels. Just install scripts the normal way. The way you do not need to create an installer every time  Adobe updates Photoshop version....
