How do I deactivate dynamiclinkmanager?

[Edjb2382]

I have an iMac and am stuck at at an Installation Progress point. It says to close this dynamiclinkmanager. I've tried what I've read. No help there. Tell me how. Assume nothing.

For Mac OS you will want to quite the DynamicLinkManager from the Activity monitor located in your Applications/Utilities folder.

This is a new reply to an OLD question.  Sorry....I just encountered the problem today trying to apply an Adobe update.  But maybe it will be useful to a future reader searching on the same problem. 

Most of the replies, even from Adobe people, say to just terminate the dynamiclinkmanager process.  I hate terminating any process that I don't know what it does.  Maybe the thing has important files open?  What could happen if I kill it?. 

In my case, I made sure to "Quit" all open Adobe applications (Br, DW, Ai, Ps, Pr, etc).  After closing these programs, dynamiclinkmanager "disappeared".  So I would suggest making sure there are no open Adopbe apps.  If that doesn't work, then nuke the sucker 🙂
