Question

Change update settings

When I built packages for installing the Creative Cloud apps I had the update settings to Disabled. We now have an Adobe Update server configured on campus and I would like to point installations to use the update server instead. Do I need to build new packages and re-distribute the applications, or is there a way to update the settings on machines in place?

Thanks.

    HI,

    You can use Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) to deploy the updates. You can download the same from this Location.

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html

    You can find the Help guide too for setup process.

    Hope it helps.

    regards,

    Abhijit

    Thanks, Abhijit, but that doesn't really answer my question. Right now when I launch an application that I packaged the Help, Updates option is grayed out. I'd like to know if I can enable that option without re-installing the entire package. At the same time I'd like to place the overrides file on the systems so they point to our update server.

    Look at options available in editing/renaming the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat file, which may facilitate changing your settings without having to redeploy. Further information at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html

    Thanks for the responses. The only other thing that would be beneficial to know is if it's possible to modify my existing packages that I created with the Creative Cloud Packager. It would be much simpler to change the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat file and add the overrides file to the packages instead of creating them from scratch again.
