It is difficult to manage the Creative Cloud Desktop Application uninstallation in enterprise environment for multiple versions. Hence we are looking for an available parameter/solution to disable the Automatic updates of CCDA so that we can install/update the CCDA application latest version in our environment on quarterly basis.

@Cherygan the CCDA is handled differently than other desktop apps - there is the main App itself which has a version number, but then also inside there are supported components that have versions as well.

 

If you were to disable the auto updates - services like sync or libraries could fail. Updating on a quarterly basis would cause users to experience errors when using these services.

If you want to update the app, you can deploy a new package with only CCD. Uninstalling it is not required. All the updates of CCD are critical and mandatory and we do not recommend disabling the option.
