I am trying to deploy the Creative Cloud

Report · Mar 25, 2013

Hello!

Thanks for this video.

I found this thread while researching physical CD installs of Adobe CS vs. a Creative Cloud install.

I have a work machine where volume licensed CS software was installed. (master collection via CD)

I later downloaded the Adobe Application Manager for use with Creative Cloud when I was given a complimentary membership @ MAX 2011.

My question is, when the AAM reads "up to date" for individual software titles, has it automatically deployed all of the exclusive "Creative Cloud" only extras for those individual software titles if they were previously installed via CD?

I think I have received the appropriate Creative Cloud updates to software that was installed via CD through a volume license, but wanted to see if it is necessary to uninstall these previously installed titles in order to get the Creative Cloud exclusive updates for them.

Any advice or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Dick

Thanks Jeff,

Any ideas on who can answer this question? Seems like there would be more known about it, as it could apply to both volume licensed folks and those who have installed regular licensed products via CD/DVD.

When approaching our reseller about the issue, they did not know either.

A good recommendation could be to include this on the FAQ page for Creative Cloud installation(s) when an answer is provided.

Let me know if there's anyone I need to reach out to for more help.

I appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Dick

Dick you may want to review http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/2012/12/using-adobes-it-tools-to-deploy-creative-cloud-for-teams.html which discusses the options currently available to deploy the Creative Cloud.

Thanks again Jeff. I posted a similar topic on this blog post. There seems to be a similar, more advanced hack than what I performed. I'll post any answers I receive here when I get them.
