Subu some of the applications do have release notes available.  You can try doing a search on http://www.adobe.com/ for the available release notes.

Can you perhaps explain a bit more why you need to see the latest version without the application being installed it would provide additional context for your request.

Thanks for looking into this Jeff!

I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.

The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;

1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.

2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.

3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.

I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...

So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

Regards,

Subrat

Jeff,

When you say release notes, does that mean the below url links;

https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/features.html

https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/features.html

https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/features.html

https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/features.html

https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/features.html

https://www.adobe.com/products/flash/features.html

If these are the one you are referring to then I have 2 questions;

1)Are these url / links stable or unchanged ?

2)What about the CC products like Bridge and InCopy for which I didn't get such url's for tracking ?

And as I mentioned earlier, what should I do if I miss an update. How to get the installer ?

I just expect a single channel or an easy way to do these things as it is done in case of Acrobat and Reader.


Subu it varies by each product on what information is released regarding the details of the updates.

If you are wishing to manage updates then I would recommend reviewing the documentation for Adobe Update Server Setup Tool.  You can find more details at Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Update Server Setup Tool.
