Allow users to install and update apps except one

[Team IT0101]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a solution regarding this problem:

- I would like to give access to end users to every adobe apps (install on demand, and update)

- Except for InDesign, I would like to "force" one specific version

How would you build this? Should I prepare 2 packages: one with every apps except indesign and one with indesign only? 

Thank you very much.

Hi @Team IT0101 the only way I can see is to split the deployment packages as you said. One with all apps except ID and a separate one for just InDesign.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Just a point of clarification, if we make a package for all applications. Users will be able to install and update all applications except InDesign themself through the application "adobe creative cloud".
I'd like to allow end users to manage everything themslef except InDesign (specific is required).

@Team IT0101  The only option I can think of is to set up an AUSST update server and link your package to it. That way, you have total control over updates as the Adobe apps will go find the update on your server instead of the Adobe server.
