Adobe Creative Cloud app 5.7.1.1 not showing Beta category

Explorer ,
May 18, 2022 May 18, 2022

I have a new computer and am attempting to update the system with all of my active Adobe applications (current release and beta). I am logged in on the same Adobe account as I have on my older system, I am able to download and install current releases, but only see beta . I am not seeing an option to download Beta software of Premiere or Media Encoder. I have installed the same Creative Cloud app version. Any suggestions?

 

Creative Cloud version 5.7.1.1 was repaired, uninstalled and installed

The file ServiceConfig.xml in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/Configs is probably causing the beta apps not to be displayed. You can edit the XML, or use the attached example (you may want to keep a copy, since there are other settings here your deployment team may have applied).

Note: reboot or restart the Creative Cloud background services with option+cmd+R after changing this f

Had a similar issue on Windows where the Beta category was not showing. Editing the ServiceConfig.xml file located in 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\Configs\ 
solved the issue. Just wanted to add a comment for visibility.

No need to edit the XML file. There's an edited copy provided by Dom along with CC reboot instructions. The forum quote feature didn't bring the attachment over, so go up a few posts to the correct answer and download it.

Please note that editing this file requires either a reboot, or a restart of the background processes used by Creative Cloud Desktop. Press Command+Option+R (macOS) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows) to do this and re-read the file.

It's an old thread, but I didn't find a new thread with this topic. The Adobe reps haven't really explained why:

- Some of us don't have Configs folders (it's not hidden, it doesn't exist there... why the inconsistency?)
- After adding a Configs folder and the XML file, why the problem still exists (I am unable to find the Photoshop beta app when I search for it on the Cloud app)
- Why switching from one computer to another should affect our Enterprise accounts (my laptop doesn't show beta apps but my desktop does, same Enterprise account)
- Why we cannot simply update the application from within the app (my laptop has an older Photoshop beta app which tells me it's five weeks old and I should update it, but doesn't point me to where and how I might accomplish this)
- Why correct answers only work for some of us

It's rather frustrating and like a startup-level experience, not something you expect from software that's been around this long.
