Mac - RUM 1.9.6.17 + AUSST 4.0.0.42 - 6/2016 Updates

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to allow our Mac non-admin Adobe CC 2015.2 users to upgrade to the new 6/2016 versions of apps such as Illustrator CC 2015.3 and Photoshop CC 2015.5 without using the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application.

We've always facilitated Adobe updates for these non-admin users by paring AUSST+RUM along with JAMF's Casper Suite to offer updates via a Self Service application. However, even after upgrading to the latest releases of RUM and AUSST, performing a Fresh AUSST Sync and generating new .override files for clients, I can still not seem to get these new applications to be offered.

It appears that CC users outside our organization are upgrading via the Creative Cloud desktop application, however we had disabled the Apps panel during deployment within the Creative Cloud Packager, per Adobe's recommendation for organizations where end users are not administrators...

Does anyone have any recommendations for our situation to allow our end users to upgrade themselves without admin privileges?

    These updates required full binaries and so were not offered via RUM/AUSST.

    You can use the Creative Cloud Packager tool to build a package with these applications and push that out to your end users.

    So does that mean that AUSST is basically redundant in terms of the newer applications such as PS CC 2015.5?

    For the applications you mentioned, there have been upgrades to the earlier version and not update so here RUM would not be able to install those. For example the latest version of Photoshop CC 2015.5 is version 17 as opposed to Photoshop CC 2015.4 which was version 16.x.x . The Creative Cloud Desktop application though, can install these upgrades but your users would need the Apps tab to install them and admin rights.

    In the latest build of the Creative Cloud Packager though, we have come up with the concept of elevated privileges ( More information about it can be found here. Using this option, users without admin rights can install applications from the Creative Cloud desktop app without the need of having admin rights.

    Also, the newer versions of most applications have the complete application installers hosted on AUSST and not just update patches. The list of the applications which can be installed from AUSST completely can be found here
