Adobe CC on Windows Server 2019

[lhummel]

Hello,

I'm having an Adobe CC Master Collection subscription and planning to upgrade my PC - my current PC is running Windows 10 Enterprise, but I plan to use the newly released Windows Server 2019 on the new machine. Do Adobe CC applications work in that OS?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Lhummel, many of our most recent releases do not support Server versions of Windows operating system.  You can find a complete list of system requirements, for the applications included with a Creative Cloud membership, at Adobe Creative Cloud system requirements .  Unless you see Windows Server 2019 specifically listed then it is likely you will be blocked from installing the application.  I would encourage you to use the membership on a computer that does meet the system requirements for the application.

Don't worry about that... Jeff is just a robot paid by Adobe to say "please, use only windows 10 OS" and "check your system requirements"... A server is and should be capable of handling any application.

You are giving bad advice here. A server should not be capable of handling any application. If the software works, you will be lucky, if not...

I just figured out that Lightroom CC cannot be installed on Windows Server 2019, while Photoshop and Lightroom Classic will. They have the same "OS requirement". And yes, I use Server edition Windows because this is my VM host and workstation, and Windows 10 doesn't make full use of the 32 cores and 256GB of RAM.

Spoke too soon, Lightroom Classic install failed even though it doesn't block me from starting. Lightroom plain out disabled the install button
