Creative Cloud / Adobe Application Manager

Question

Do Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager do the same thing/ duplicate each other?
Creative Cloud says Photoshop CC is up to date & on checking the version, it's on 14.1.1
CS6 (which i already had installed before joining CC) recently updated itself to CS6 'Extended' & currently shows as version 13.0.1
Adobe Application Manager popped up today saying there's an update for Photoshop CS6 & Photoshop CC to 13.1.2   it states:
"This Adobe® Photoshop® and Photoshop Extended 13.1.2 update installs new features for Adobe Creative Cloud members and Photoshop subscribers. It offers exciting new capabilities for design, photography and more, including the freedom to nondestructively edit with Blur Gallery and Liquify using new Smart Object support, the ability to export text and shapes as CSS, the option to create Conditional Actions, and support for new HiDPI displays that enable a dramatic improvement in image fidelity and resolution. Other new workflow timesavers are also included. Customers with Photoshop Extended will also receive new 3D options including improved live previews that simplify the creation of shadows and reflections in 3D artwork and a 32-bit color picker for better illumination control, and more."
Am I too assume that Creative Cloud only updates Phtoshop CC & that Adobe Application manager updates CS6? 
I guess too that if i click 'update' in Adobe Application Manager, it will update CS6 & leave CC as it is? (if I deselect the CC update, it deselects the CS6 update too).

Hi Les,
Creative CLoud Desktop App and Application Manager are the same thing . The pop up that you are getting is from Adobe Application Manager updater and the sole purpose of this application is to connect to the Adobe servers and find out if there is any update available or not .
The update window that you have got is for CS6 only as there isnt any update for PS CC available right now( current version is 14.1.1) .

Thanks Kartikay. I'm sure i'd read somewhere on the forums that Creative Cloud when installed would replace the Application manager? However, I went ahead and clicked on 'update' in Application manager & it said it was trying to apply 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' (no mention of CS6). Tthe update failed with the following message:
'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
Installation failed. Error code: U44M1P7'
I've tried removing Photoshop CC from the list of programs to check for updates for in Application Manager but that made no difference either - the update for   'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' remains & failed again when I tried to apply it.
I then tried removing CS6 from the list of programs to be checked in Application Manager & then it reported all my programs are up to date; when re-checked the box for CS6 the update reappears.
So it seems there is an update for CS6 but there's the 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' update linked to it which cannot be unticked without removing the CS6 update as well. If I try to check for updates within CS6, the same problem occurs.
So if the update is indeed just for CS6, how can i apply the update?
