Adobe Application Manager Complete Uninstall

Hi!
I've been using Adobe Acrobat XI for a trial period. The program is good, however I'm not willing to purchase a license at present. So, I've removed it.
BUT Adobe Application Manager still resides in my system. I cannot uninstall it neither through Windows Control Panel, nor with the help of third parties uninstallers (Revo Uninstaller, Absolute Uninstaller, Final Uninstaller). Using Creative Suit Cleaner Tool. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html was also unsuccessful.
So, the question is: How can I completely uninstall Adobe Application Manager from my system (Windows 7 HP x64)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AAM is needed if you run any other Adobe software. see this post for uninstall info and more: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4723542

  • Uninstall Adobe Application Manager

    Ever since I downloaded Adobe Application Manager my computer has experienced major problems.  My windows explorer has all but stopped working, random notices that my copy of windows is not genuine, and I cannot edit anything in word without the application freezing.  This only happened after the installation of Adobe  Application Manager.  I have run Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware several times and no problems or threats were found.  I also checked safe mode and windows explorer was functional in safe mode.  I have run serveral chkdsk upon restarts and no problems have been found?  I have also tried to restore computer to previous settings without sucess.  I can not find how to uninstall the Adobe Application Manager.  I am using Illustrator CS6 and do not want to uninstall this if at all possible.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Geologyrocks,
    Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Adobe Application Manager gets uninstalled automatically when you uninstall all of your Creative Cloud (CS6) products. Its definitely odd that this all started happening around the time you installed Adobe Application Manager. I haven't heard of others reporting the same issue. I have it installed on several computers myself and haven't experienced this personally. If you wanted uninstall it I would recommend uninstalling all CS6 first and then it should get removed automatically, you could run the Adobe Cleaner Tool afterwards for good measure. So you would need to uninstall Illustrator CS6.

    When you go to reinstall I would ensure all Windows updates were installed, close all open applications at the time (including your anti-virus software temporarily)

  • How do I unistall Adobe Application Manager?

    Hello
    My Adobe Application Manager (AAM) is crashing so I can't download programs or updates from my Creative Cloud... I have been talking to Adobe on the phone, and they told me to unistall my AAM and then reinstall it. But how do I do that?

    Best regards

    You can download and install Adobe application manager from this link:
    For windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    Adobe Application Manager is required on your computer, as long as you have other Creative Cloud applications. Adobe Application Manager performs multiple functions within all of the Creative Cloud products. Adobe Application Manager is automatically removed when you uninstall all Adobe Creative Cloud products. Upon removal of the last product, the Adobe Application Manager is uninstalled.
    Important:  Adobe offers a Cleaner Tool, which removes the database entries but not the physical files associated with the installation.  Run the program uninstallers to remove all components.
    Remove Creative Cloud on Mac OS
    Double-click your hard drive.
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    Run all of the Adobe uninstallers to remove all of the Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
    Remove Creative Cloud on Windows
    Click Start > Control Panel.
    Click Programs and Features.
    Select a Creative Suite application and click Uninstall.
    Repeat step 3 for all Creative Cloud applications.

  • Completely uninstall Adobe Application Manager

    I mistakenly installed Adobe Application Manager last night because I thought it was needed to make it easier to update my existing Adobe Reader v10 and my other Adobe products (AIR, Flash, Photoshop Elements, and Premier Elements). How stupid of me to not do my research FIRST!!! Now I can not get rid of the damned thing. It will not show up in the Windows Programs and Features program listing in the Control Panel so I can remove it that way and the instructions to completely remove AAM that are given on the web site simply do not work as I have NONE of the applications listed in AAM that purportedly will remove AAM if they are uninstalled.

    I was also fooled into believing that Adobe Application Manager was a necessary update for my creative suite. Even if AAM is necessary for core functionality (i.e., see smoke and mirrors description for AAM), I would be left with the following concerns:
    Core functionality has nothing do to with Adobes decisions to install software on my personal computer that appears solely dedicated to pushing unsolicited trial software.
    Using the Adobe application update manager to install AAM/a mechanism to push trail software is deceitful.
    The description for AAM appears to be intentionally misleading.
    The interface is confusing; AAM lists installed software as not being installed, as well as software that is not part of my creative suite. Why would I possibly want to install a trail version alongside my equivalent licensed version?
    If Adobe wanted to push an update that truly provided core functionality, they would have done this as they have done in the past, and I would not have a confusing listing of trial software sitting of my desktop.
    For lack of a better phrase, I feel like Adobe Spammed my computer with trialware in a manner that is markedly disingenuous. My take away lesson – Do not trust Adobe updater, do not trust Abode to conduct business in a forthright and principled manner, and of most importance, image/backup before running Adobe updater.
    Venting aside, I inevitably gave up on trying to uninstall AAM and reverted back to a recent drive image.
    Does anyone know of a way to keep AAM from popping up in the application update manager?

    My Bridge CC opens in a locked mode - I cannot make any changes (dump cache) - it says "other instances of Adobe Application Manager are running, which must be closed." I have to force quit Bridge to get out of it. I tried to uninstall Bridge and re-install it but it did the same thing. Any ideas where to go next?
    The fact that I uninstalled Bridge and reloaded it has me concerned as to what to do next.?

    You need to force quit all other (real or fake) instances of the Application Manager.  Instructions differ between Mac or Win.
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Need help completely removing Adobe Application Manager.

    I just tried to update my Adobe Application Manager but it told me the install was broken, so I went and uninstalled it hoping that I could just download the installer again and reinstall.
    This has not worked, and now the installer package for Adobe App Manager still tried to update and not do a fresh install. It gives me the error that it failed to initialise when I try.
    I guess the only thing now is to root out the registry parts for this as there are no other traces of the AAM left on my PC.
    Running Windows 8.1, with Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom 5.7 installed. As well as Reader, Air and Flash.

    Ho Kevin,
    You can follow the article: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 which will help you to completely remove the Adobe Application manager from your computer.
    Let us know if you still face any issues with that.

    Do I need adobe application manager? and what does it do? can i uninstall it on Mac OS X Mavericks?

    The application manager provides activation and online features, so no, unisntalling is not an option or else your Adobe software would go defunct.

  • Can't complete updates because of Adobe Application Manager

    Adobe Application Manager refuses to complete updates for CS5.5 Production Premium and gives window that says "Close Adobe Bridge CS5.1(Bridge.exe) and I've follow all instructions in Bridge Help where others talk about same problem. Nothing they suggest works. The Problem is still there, refusing to allow me to "Continue" with my downloaded updates. This is apparently a long term problem that Adobe should have fixed with a patch etc. A simple "Close Application" under File in Bridge should do the trick. Can anyone give me a proven solution that will work? Thanks.

  • Unable to uninstall cs6 beta version due to Adobe Application Manager error

    A few weeks ago I installed the beta version of cs6 but never was able to run that program due to the Adobe Application Manager error I received each time I attempted to launch it.  I never found any solutions on the internet so I just gave up.  Recently I purchased Photoshop cs6 anyway, however, in order to install cs6 you must uninstall the beta version of cs6.  Unfortunately Windows 7 will not uninstall the beta version.  Each time I click on uninstall, nothing happens.  Until I can uninstall the beta version, I will not be able to install my newly purchased Photoshop cs6.  Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. The tool can clean up install records for any pre-release (beta) installations of these Creative Suite products.

    However, can you please confirm if download is happening slow on your system. Can you check your broadband speed using www.speedtest.com

  • Uninstall adobe application manager on mac

    Hi
    I`ve tried some of the trial versions of Photoshop,Lightroom etc, and I´ve downloaded and installed the Creative cloud app. Now I`ve uninstalled Creative Cloud app and most of the program trials becuase I found it to be to difficult for me to manage the things that i wished to use these apps for, The apps that i no longer wish to have installed is already uninstalled, using the uninstallation icons in the utility folder of each of the Adobe apps, but the Adobe Application Manager is still there and i wish to uninstall this and everything else exept the adobe flash player and adobe reader. I`ve searhed the forums but can`t find a solution

  • Can I uninstall Adobe Application Manager without hurting my current Adobe products?

    I tried to download a trial of Muse and the Adboe Application Manager says it is corrupt.
    If I uninstall, will this affect any of my currently "owned" Adobe programs?

    Hi Randi,
    You can certainly uninstall Adobe application manager without affecting any of the Adobe apps however I would advise you to download Adobe creative cloud instead of Application manager.
    Please navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and download the software which will help you to download Muse and other apps.

  • Uninstall without Adobe Applications Manager

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and had Java SE6 problems
    So I tired to load the correct Java and that did not work.
    There is now NO Adobe Applications Manager on my machine and no version of one will load on to my machine.
    How should I go about removing all aspects of CS6 Master Collection without having the Adobe Applications Manager?
    Also, can you point me to the correct location to put the appropriate Java on my new iMAC 5K ?

    TurboKC for your installation of Creative Suite 6 I would recommend removing your current installation using the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  I would then follow this by running the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal.  You can find details on how to utilize and download the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Once you are ready to reinstall you can download a fresh copy of the installation files from Download CS6 products. 
    Regarding your question for Java I would recommend either posting in the Photoshop General Discussion forum - Photoshop General Discussion.  Alternately you may want to see java.com Support Options.
