What is "Test" in Adobe Application Manager?

Today, I launched Adobe Application Manager, because seeing how Dreamweaver was crashing, I thought there were updates. Well, it asked me for my Adobe ID, which it hadn't before, then there was a list of every Adobe CS application of mine, and a Test option on them. Well, I thought, "it's going to check for updates", so I clicked them all. Some had a Test option, while others had an Install option.

Photoshop started to download, but it was really long. Over half an hour. As the next app started downloading, I cancelled everything, thinking "is it redownloading every single program that I have?" and pressed the "Launch"(or is it "Run"? Sorry, my installation is in French, and I'm not sure what it is in English) option that had replaced the Test one on Photoshop. And it... launched Photoshop.

So I'm wondering... What the heck did it just do? Was it unable to determine whether I had those programs installed and thus decided to re-install everything over again, or what?

    Azma the option to test, or try in the English version, it to allow users to download and try the trial version of the software available through Creative Cloud.  Adobe Application Manager should be detecting the applications which are already installed but it appears in your case for a time it was not detecting the already installed applications.

    If I am reading this thread properly you are back up and working is that correct?

    Most likely yes. Impossible to tell, since you did not provide any further details.
