Updating CC 2017 packages to CC 2018

[sonnyj50]

I have 50 systems licensed for CC 2017 for system license rather than user based. Is there a simply way to upgrade this version without having to uninstall existing version and create a new package?

Hi,

Assuming you cannot use a self-service option via the Desktop App then your choices are as follows.

• Have client machines install updates via an internal update server.
• Trigger updates remotely using Remote Update Manager. Use this option when client machines don't have admin privileges.
• Create and deploy Update only packages using Creative Cloud Packager.

We created uninstaller packages via Creative Cloud Packager tool. These packages were then run before applying CC2018.

We found no other way in our serialized setup. For name user deployment there are other options as mentioned by alisterblack​
