Premiere Pro is way over the .PKG size limit. How do we deploy this app?

[Bani Verma]

Hi @Shah_126,

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble deploying your package via Intune due to file size. 

In this case, instead of downloading pre-generated packages, you can try creating a Named user licensing package for Premiere Pro without including any additional Premiere Pro add-ons.
Please refer to the following document for detailed instructions on creating an NUL package: How to Create NUL Packages.

Kindly try this approach and let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

We are managing macOS computers in a shared lab environment with Intune.  The separate creation of Adobe Apps (maximum 8GB) for deployment in Intune, then downloading, then signing separately with our Apple Dev Certificate, and then uploading to Intune is massively time consuming.  Is there a more streamlined method being planned?

We have spent many hours testing our Intune/macOS environment and have discovered a great deal of problems relating to Adobe App deployment.  The most recent problem is that although our Adobe Packages generated in the Adobe Admin Console are set to DE (German language), they are installing with the default language of English.  This is both with local macOS installs and through the MDM Intune.

We will contact Adobe support with a more detailed outline of our setup and see what happens.  In the meantime, we are hoping that the packaging and deployment process for our Adobe products becomes much more efficient and reliable.

Hi there, 

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We have made a note of it and will share it with the relevant team. 

For the deployment issue regarding the language getting changed, give me some time to test it at our end and check if we can duplicate this issue. 

I will get back to you as soon as possible. 

Thanks, 
^BS
