How can I verify that Adobe AE CC has properly updated to v12.2

Adobe Updater keeps saying I have the latest version, but I'm not so sure.
Here's why.
The About box still shows AE version 12.0.0.404
The file date for AfterFX.exe remains 5/23/2013 and also shows as version 12.0.0.404
Features that are advertised as new in version 12.1 do not appear:
(including: command for moving anchor point to center of content)
   4. Features that are advertised as new in version 12.2 also do not appear:
     (including: command for converting a parametric shape layer path to a Bezier path)
That said, both AE and CC panel both show After Effects as being the most current (although they do not mention a version #)
I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then using CC to reinstall, no change.
I have also manually downloaded and installed the update to 12.2... no change.
Any suggestions?
TIA.

//answering my own post below
Last night I was notified by CC that AE had yet another update. Cool, maybe this one would be the one that would take. Nope.
After applying the update, AE was still hung on version 12.0.0.404. Further frustrating was the contradictory assurance from the CC proggie that AE was indeed up to the most current version.
How can this be? I wish I could say it was a stroke of genius on my part that solved the riddle, but it was really just dumb luck.
While exploring the updates that I had previously downloaded, I noticed a subfolder in my download folder called "Adobe After Effects CC". Now this is on a completely separate drive than the one that hosts my working copy of AECC which was installed at, and is run from, the default location on my C drive. I peered inside the errant folder and saw what looks to be a viable install of AECC?! I verified the version numbers were correct on AfterFX.exe. For some reason that remains a mystery, Adobe CC had installed, without user initiative or notification, a second copy of AECC on a different drive and in a subfolder of my downloads folder.
To fix the problem, I replaced the old files with the new ones, deleted a few plugins that have changed due to the updates, reentered my serials for a few plugins, and everything works as it should....... that is, until the next update
Woohoo!
TLDR; During a reinstall and/or update process, AECC may install to non-default location. If your updates have not applied, search your drives for an errant copy of AE.

    How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
    With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?

    You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
    iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something.

    Talk to someone who knows something about networking and/or firewalls on an appropriate forum.
    Configuring your network and/or firewall is beyond the scope of this forum, which is devoted to issues using the iPhone.

  • How can I verify that backup media is workable?

    Dear Experts,
    I do backup SQL backup on Hard Disk everyday, then use NT BACKUP to external TAPE DRIVE, report is showing no any error and completed backup, questions, how can I verify that backup media is workable?
    Best and Regards,
    wilson

    Hi Wilson,
    In SQL Enterprise manager , there is an option to verify your backup .
    You need to enable this verification by checkting the box. If this option is enabled , after taking the backup , it will go for the verification and give you the result .
    If it is verified successful, it means, the backup has been written fine in the Tape/HDD , and it will be
    restored fine.
    Even if this verify option is done, SAP reccomends to perform a test restoration of the backup to a test
    system in order to make sure everything working fine .

  • How can I verify that I properly "SIM-unlocked" my IPhone 4?

    As part of my service plan with Bouygues (France), I got an IPhone 4 which is "SIM-locked" and can not be used with another telephone operator.
    After 3 months it is possible to organise the "SIM-unlocking" of the phone, free of charge.
    I did so by contacting the customer support and performing the appropriate procedure with ITunes. Everything seems to have gone right, the IPhone 4 is as great a phone as it was before,
    my question is simple, how can I verify that the phone is actually unlocked? a menu in the phone for example?

    Just put a sim from a different carrier in and try it.

  • How can I tell if Adobe Flash is installed properly and upto date version?

    How can I tell if Adobe Flash is installed properly and upto date version?
    Hi Guys and girls, hopefully an easy question for you.
    I installed Adobe flash and lightsource last night, cos I needed it to run Weebly website maker.
    Anyone know if Weebly runs correctly on 10.9.1??
    I have a new comp, so no previous version of flash on here, I am running OSX 10.9.1
    I just want to know How I can tell if Adobe Flash is installed properly and is the upto date version?
    Where do I go in the comp to find out,
    If I type in Adobe flash into search it only brings up flash manager, when I click this it is an uninstaller program.
    Lightsource shows in finder apps.
    If I type in flash player it shows up in plugins with a version number see screen shot.
    Where would I go to check for updates for things like flash on my comp?
    Thanks Team,

  • How can I verify that my Apple Express is "absolutely" extending my Apple Extreme?

    Greetings,
    I purchased an Apple Express to extend my Apple Extreme due to intermittent Wi-Fi signal in part of my home.
    I connected it and it automatically configured the Express to extend my Apple Extreme.
    My question is how exactly can I verify absolutely that my devices (laptops, iPad's, etc.) are connecting through the Express and NOT the Extreme as they were before. (the Express is closer to all devices than the Extreme).
    There has to be a way to verify this, however, I can't find it through searching the web.
    To note, signal bars on devices have not and do not change.  Meaning they have 3 bars with, and 3 bars without, regardless.
    Thank you in advance.

    For Windows-based computers, try entering the following at the Command Prompt: netsh wlan show networks mode=Bssid|findstr "BSSID"  You can also try: netsh wlan show all
    This should provide you with a list of all Wireless Access Points that is detected by your PC.
    For the iPad, I am not aware of any built-in apps that will show this. However, apps, like Net Analyzer should do the trick. There's also a Net Analyzer Lite version for free.

  • How can I verify that Firefox Add-0n is safe if author not verified?

    I would love some Add-ons from Mozilla.com but when I click on download it says author not verified. How can I be sure it is safe and doesn't contain malware?

    When you call DIG_Block_Out, NI-DAQ first downloads your data into the 6534 memory. Only after the download is done (which should happen at about 80 MB/s) it starts outputting data and DIG_Block_Out returns. So it is safe for you to reuse your PC memory buffer as soon as DIG_Block_Out returns.
    This is assuming your entire buffer fits in memory. If it doesn't, NI-DAQ will download all the data that fits and start the transfer, and as more 6534 memory becomes available the DMA channel will fill it up.
    The 6534 has a 16 sample FIFO and an additional 32 MB of memory for each handshaking group. So for 32-bit transfers you can fit 8 MSamples, for 16-bit transfers you can fit 16 MSamples (per group), and for 8-bit transfers you can fit 32 MSamples (per group) in the 6534
    memory.

  • How can I verify that the PCI-6534 is using all of its onboard memory?

    When using a PCI-6534 under Windows 98 with NI-DAQ 6.9, I need to transfer a small buffer (8126464 bytes) to the adapter, and get it into the onboard memory. The board is configured for 32 bits output, and I'm using handshake mode. DAQ_GET_DEVICE_INFO tells me that there is 33554432 bytes for each Group. DIG_Block_Check shows that 2031587 words (8126348 bytes) are remaining to transfer. Is that in the PC system memory or the PCI-6534 on board memory? How can I tell if it is safe to reuse the (PC side) buffer? Also, How big is the FIFO on the PCI-6534?

    When you call DIG_Block_Out, NI-DAQ first downloads your data into the 6534 memory. Only after the download is done (which should happen at about 80 MB/s) it starts outputting data and DIG_Block_Out returns. So it is safe for you to reuse your PC memory buffer as soon as DIG_Block_Out returns.

  • How can I verify that an email was sent?

    I was an Adobe SendNow Outlook user until early this morning, when I had to send an important document for a meeting this morning. SendNow for Outlook informed me that it  just retired, and so I was directed to this Adobe Send cloud version.   I was able to go in and send my document. And later I found the new Adobe Send Outlook plug-in.
    But in the meantime, my recipient has not yet retrieved the document (according to the status). I'm wondering how I can verify/see the email I sent through Send. I don't see anything in the Adobe Send Cloud interface that allows me to see either the recipient email address or the text of the email. This seems to be an important component missing. Or am I missing something?
    Keith
    p.s. My recipient did finally view the document and I received my email verification, but I still can't seem to find the original text of the email!

  • How can I verify that I'm running as an Administrator on XP

    Hi!
    I need to be able to verify from my Java program that I'm running as a user that has administration privileges. Does anybody have any tip on how to verify this? I can look in the registry if there is a registry key that will confirm this. My target platform is Win XP so a platform dependant solution is acceptable.

  • How can I ensure that Adobe Encode will find the files Adobe Premier creates

    I can't export  video audio sequence.
    I invoke the "Export" function and Adobe Encoder starts.
    When I click on the "Start Queue" button the Adobe Encoder fails and gives the following message.
    - Source File: C:\Users\stan\AppData\Local\Temp\road walk-1_2.prproj
    - Output File: C:\Users\stan\Videos\Sequence 01.3gp
    - Preset Used: 3GPP 176 x 144 H.263

    9/29/2014 5:44:22 PM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    When I check for the location of the source as noted in this message there is no source there.
    The Adobe Premier application saved the project in another location.
    How do I overcome this problem and get the save location for the project to be the same as the source location for the Adobe Encoder

    It's not always as clear where the program's putting things as you might hope. At setting PrPro to export, check the entire line of material it thinks it is exporting for accuracy. (Often it may choose say, the workbar or a couple clips when I thought I'd exported a whole sequence.) When AME first pops up, do check in the line for the export, the complete file-name it has for everything. I've found quite often it has decided for some reason to either grab something that isn't what I intended to export or is putting it say where it put something 2 exports back. Had I not caught those, I'd have been totally clueless also.
    I hope this helps ... if not, well, gremlins are nasty little buggers to deal with ...

  • How can i verify that this is a legitimate seller of apple products.

    Sales in large bulk, older apple products.  See link http://www.aakash.com.sg/index.php?option=com_virtuemart

    They are completely unauthorized by Apple and hence are getting the products they sell from unknown sources that may be in multiple countries, stolen, or otherwise unverified and uncertain. You can decide whether you would consider that "safe" for yourself. I would strongly, strongly recommend you not buy any iPhones or iPads from them, at least, as it's quite likely you'll find them unsupported in your country and quite possibly unusable.
    Regards.
