CC install

[AndrewDu]

I have six computers to install with the entire CC suite.

From what I can see I have to download and install separately on each one, which would take several days at current download speeds.

Surely this is not the case?

Hi Andrew,

If you have creative cloud for teams and you are the team admin, you will have an option of CCP(creative cloud packager) on the Manage your teams page.

Please refer to the following link for video tutorial :

OK I downloaded and installed CCP, I used it to create a "Package", and then I ran the setup.exe that's in that package. It  finished in about fifteen minutes, but it hasn't actually installed anything.

If I open "Creative Cloud" it now gives the option to install all the apps; select one and it starts downloading it.

So this is just the same process as going straight to the CC web site and downloading from there. So far I do not see where CCP is adding any value.

Is it not possible to download the install package(s) once and store them on my network, then run setup from there? Downloading Gb's for each and every workstation cannot be the answer I hope.

The purpose of creative cloud packager is that you only have to download the applications once and then use the package you have created to deploy on the rest of the machines.

Can you try the package you have created on a machine which does not have any previous installation of Adobe applications.

And in case the issue persist please share the pdapp.log file from the %temp% folder and we will assist you with the same.

Ok I ran the package on a clean machine.

It installed Creative Cloud taking about fifteen minutes.

When I start Creative Cloud and log in, the heading says "you have not installed any applications yet"

If I choose one and click on "Install" or "Try" it seems to start a download - it does not pull the source from my package.

I have the pdapp.log file but don't see where to attach it here. Should I paste in the whole contents? (it's 500Kb...)
