CS6? CC? CC (2017)?

[tn43960187]

i was about to update my software, and i see there are still 3 versions available. How to know which is the right one to use??? And will there be a 2018 version soon? The one i've been using is simply "CC", and when i click on about in PP, it says it's "2017.1.2 release", and below it says it's "11.1.2 (22) build".

There's been ... two releases? ... of 2018. If your CC app isn't showing them (which isn't too unusual, it doesn't always update correctly) I'd suggest signing out of it, rebooting the computer, and signing back in. That normally seems to jog the app so it goes ahead and updates.

There's also an option in the menu for that app to check for updates, you might try that ... but if it's not showing updates available that are, it may need the sign-out/in routine.

I know it's confusing, but the "2018 release" came out in October 2017. Hope this helps.

That link just went to the main forum-chooser page. ya, it's odd that my Cloud app has 3 version updates. I'm obviously not going to choose the CS6 version, but find it odd there's the CC and CC (2017) choices. No 2018 showing at all, even after the sign out and reboot.

That's where it gets confusing.

Adobe management loves to play around with official app naming. So instead of having a CC 2018 version, it is now simply called CC. It's confusing because the very first version of creative cloud after CS6 was called CC too...

So to answer you question, the latest version is CC 12.0.0 version (which will update to 12.0.1 once installed).

Hope this helps,

Interesting...

So it sounds like the only one i should download is the one called, "CC", and not "CC (2017)". Very odd nomenclatures.

They're listed as

CC (12)

CC (2017)

CC (7)

CS6

In the CC Desktop App on my rig. Newest is the top.

Note: if you update to CC2018 (12.0) or (12.0.1) you will loose the ability to export footage in Dolby Digital. Same goes for CC2017 (11.1.4).

That's why going into the "Advanced Options" option on the Update dialog is so important. ALWAYS check that, and UNCHECK "remove prior versions".
