Adobe Application Manager run problem

I'm having an issue with my Adobe Application Manager. When I launch it, it now continues to go through an update and then gives me an authentication error , stating that the software I'm trying to download is not authenticated Adobe software and is counterfeit?? I've downloaded from my cloud account with no problems. This is a recent issue. Is anyone else havingthis problem, or have a solution?
Thanks
Tommy G

I was having the same issue and this article resolved it for me:

  • Adobe Application Manager creating problems:  Subscriber, running windows vista

    Hi
    I want to install the new creative suite (v6). went to download site for apps, and tried installing the application manager.  It just stalled towards the end.  Had to force quit. Restarted my computer, clicked on the exe file for application  manager, nothing happened.  Went back to download page and tried downloading PS CS6, and i kept getting errors that the Adobe App Manager has stopped working.  What do I need to do?
    Specs of my machine: Windows Vista with latest update. 
    Thanks

    Hi Chomsky,
    Note that Vista doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to use Creative Cloud here
    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html
    It might still be possible to use on Vista but it hasn't really been tested so you have limited options if you run into difficulties.
    You might try installing Adobe Application Manager again from here

  • Adobe Application Manager reinstall problem

    I've removed LR from my suite of programs (from my Macbook Pro). Now I would like to reinstall but the App Manager simply tells me that the LR 4.4 is up to date. Any ideas how I might redownload LR back to my laptop?

  • Adobe Applications Manager Connection Problem

    Hi, everytime I use this piece of software to do an update using the a wireless connection, it never seems to communicate with the update servers, but as soon as I switch to ethernet connection, the connection goes through perfectly. What could be the cause of this issue?!

    Please try the following
       1. Open Network and Sharing Center
       2. Click Change adapter settings
       3. Right-click the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter, and click Disable.
       4. Try updating now.

  • Adobe application manager update server not responding

    I have installed the Creative Suite 6 Master Collection from CDs,
    and activated the license. Now when I run Photoshop > Help >
    Updates, the Adobe Application Manager runs, but gives the error
    message "The update server is not responding. The server might be
    offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewal settings may be
    incorrect".
    Acrobat and Lightroom both updated no problem. I waited a day, but
    the problem persists. Any thoughts?
    Thanks, Bruce

    I found the answer in another post (https://forums.adobe.com/message/4484225#4484225):
    Go to creative.adobe.com, and download PhotoShop CC
    This downloads, installs, and runs Creative Cloud
    As soon as it comes up running, cancel the download of PS CC
    All of the CS 6 apps are ready to update

  • Adobe Application Manager Download Error (and other problems)

    Last week I purchased a Creative Cloud membership (Student and Teacher Edition, if that matters at  all).  When I tried to download applications, the Adobe Application Manager seemed to be unable to connect and instead displayed "Download Error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support."  I read some of the responses to this problem on the forums, and after trying several things, I got it to work (I'm honestly not sure what I did that caused it to work).  However, it is now failing to work again and I can't seem to fix it this time.  As an additional problem, When I tried to open Adobe Premiere Pro (which I managed to download when I got the App Manager working for a while), I got the opening screen that asked me to open a project or start a new project.  No matter what I clicked on, Premiere Pro closed with an error message. Just as with the App Manager (and at the same time), I managed to get Premiere Pro to work (it seemed to work after I set permissions so I thought I solved it), so I was able to use it for a day.  However, now the problem has returned.
    I don't know if these two problems are related, but they started working at the same time and stopped working at the same time, so I'm posting them together in case there is a connection.  I am running Windows Vista on my home computer.  I can sign on to the creative cloud online without problem so it recognizes me as a creative cloud subscriber.  My Internet connection is working fine.  I have disabled all firewalls and it still doesn't work.  Very frustrating, obviously.
    Thanks for your time and any help or suggestions you can give.

    Kardypaine for your Internet configuration difficulties I would recommend reviewing Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.
    For the failure of Premiere Pro to open you will want to review the install log to see if you received an installation error.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    I own an iMac 2011. I am unable to reinstall and launch premiere pro cc. We I attempt to run the program I get a error message saying that the adobe application manager is missing or need to be updated. I reinstalled the manager but I am still unable to launch any of my programs from adobe. I tried to do a trail with a program and I am still getting the same message.

    Davinci thank you for the update.
    Please utilize any available uninstallers that are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once all of the available uninstallers have been run you will then want to rerun the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find directions on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool and a download link 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.  After the CC Cleaner Tool is run then please reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
    The CC Cleaner Tool is designed to be used after running the uninstallers.  Without running the uninstallers first then a complete removal may not be possible.

  • Problems with TCS3, Adobe Application Manager, and Acrobat X

    I have to deploy Technical Communications Suite 3 to a group of 20 people with a volume license key.  In order to avoid giving 20 people in the company a volume key, I'm using the Adobe Application Manager to build a distributable silent installer for this delivery.  The problem is that when you use the Adobe Application  Manager to create the build, Adobe Acrobat Professional X (which is part of the package) is not an installable option, nor is it actually installed as seen in the attached screenshot
    However, if I just launch the installer by double-clicking Set-up.exe from the downloaded media directory, I do get the option to add Acrobat X.
    Finally, if I drill into the installation media folder, "...\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3\payloads\AcrobatProfessional10.0-EFG" there is a .msi which is for Acrobat X, but when launched, the product key I was provided for Technical Communications Suite 3 does not work.  The key works just fine to install the entire suite, but not Acrobat X by itself.
    Has anyone else had any luck creating a silent install for TCS3?  I called support and reproduced the problem for them, but they had no answer.
    Just for the record, I have found this exact same behavior with all the Adobe Suites which are supposed to get Acrobat.

    This is true that Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition currently does not support silently deploying Acrobat alongwith TCS3. However, you do not need a separate license key for Acrobat.
    Pls follow the below mentioned steps to silently install TCS 3 with Acrobat:
    1) Uninstall TCS3 (including Acrobat) from your machine, if already present. Make sure all products are uninstalled succesfully.
    2) Create a serialized package for TCS 3 using the AAMEE tool
    3) Run the silent installation command for TCS3
    4) Goto the Exceptions folder inside the TCS 3 package and open ExceptionInfo.txt. This has information of all the products that this package will not install. Look for the command to install Acrobat X Pro. For your reference, I am mentioning it here,
    msiexec.exe /i AcroPro.msi EULA_ACCEPT=NO REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES SUITEMODE=1 TRANSFORMS=en_US.mst INSTALLLEVEL=101 AS_DISABLE_LEGACY_COLOR=1 IGNOREAAM=1 /qn
    5) Install Acrobat silently using this command
    6) Launch any product installed through TCS ( FrameMaker or RoboHelp) and verify that its activated (Help->Deactivate menu should be enabled)
    7) Now launch Acrobat. You will see that Acrobat automatically picks up TCS 3 license present in the machine and gets serialized. You do not need any other serial number.
    Hope that helps,

  • Update problems with Premiere Pro and AAM (Adobe Applications Manager)

    I am using Premiere Pro CS6 via a Creative Cloud subscription and am having a problem. AAM (Adobe Application Manager) says that Premiere Pro needs updating to 6.0.1 but if I run Premiere Pro and check it's version, it says it already is 6.0.1 - so how would AAM fail to understand that PP is at 6.0.1 when PP knows that it is already there??
    So guess the real question is what does AAM use to decide what version the different apps are at and then tell you which updates you need to install? And how might it have gotten confused?
    And most of all, how to "un-confuse" AAM?
    Please don't suggest uninstalling PP - because with CC and AAM, then you have to re-download the entire app once again from inside AAM - it doesn't keep the install media around after it has installed it, but insists on downloading the same version yet again, and taking another hour or two to get back to where it was the last time it downloaded the app.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks ...
    -Bob

    Hi Bob,
    I was having a similar issue.
    I was getting a dialog, when exporting from Pr informing me that there was a codec update available for Pr, and that I should update via help. But the AAM kept telling me that everything was up to date.
    I just tried to repeat the problem to respond to your post ... and it isn't happening anymore!
    It may not be happening anymore because I opened Adobe Media Encoder CS6 outside of Pr this morning. That is all I have done outside my normal rutine since the last time I had the annoying dialog...
    Kind of grabbing at straws.
    Cheers,
    DK

  • Downloading - Adobe Application Manager PROBLEM

    I had 2.5gb left on my C: drive (SSD)  where Windows 7 64 bit is installed.  I told your Adobe Application Manager to install my new Cloud Programs on E:\Adobe Programs.   I have installed Photoshop, Acrobat and Dreamweaver.  Now, the Adobe Application Manager program keeps telling me I don't have enough space on C: to install. 
    1.  Is it using C: as a Temp area for downloads?   If show you need to change that to the drive I am installing too or many people are going to have the same problem.
    2.  Is this program leaving Temp files undeleted?.  I went from having 2.5 Gb to now only having 398Mb. 
    3.  Where in the Temp File Download Area?  (I need to clean it up to get my wasted disk space back, as I told it to install on E:)
    Thanks,

    Hi Gregory,
    I'm in the same boat : I'm also running Windows 7 on C: residing on an SSD drive with 2-3GB space left, and also got the same message.
    1.  Is it using C: as a Temp area for downloads?
    Apparently, it is. If I remember correctly, the precise message was saying something about "...unable to extract..." or something along that line. Which means the problem is even worse:
    First the AAM will use our precious space on C: to download the install archive, THEN it will try to extract it (again on C:) - effectively needing about twice the space of the download (at least temporarily), and only after that (I guess) will it install to the location you gave it (E: in your case).
    While I can't prove this, I'm pretty sure this is the way it works (or will work - once you have enough space left on C:)
    My current workaround: I use the "regular" download pages for the various CS6 apps (i.e. from the product pages on adobe.com), which in turn will use Adobe Download Assistant (NOT to be confused with AAM) to actually download the installer archives. As opposed to its "younger brother" for the Creative Cloud, this older/simpler assistant actually let's you choose where to download. After the download I can install the products just as usual (as if Creative Cloud didn't even exist), but first choosing "trial mode".
    However, they don't really go into the 30 day trial because I register them with my Adobe ID (which "knows" that I got a Creative Cloud membership) and everything's fine.
    After re-opening AAM, it even showed me the CS6 apps downloaded via this "workaround" as "installed", so I guess the end result isn't any different than what I would have gotten if actually using the AAM.
    (Note: If any Adobe employee reads this I'd be glad about a confirmation that this is indeed the case, though)
    2.  Is this program leaving Temp files undeleted?.  I went from having 2.5 Gb to now only having 398Mb.
    Mmmh, might be the case - although I didn't observe this. Did you still have AAM open while checking your disk space? If so, try checking again after closing it. Most programs only clean up after themselves when closing them.
    3.  Where in the Temp File Download Area?  (I need to clean it up to get my wasted disk space back, as I told it to install on E:)
    I can't exactly tell you where, but I'd suspect some directory under
    c:\users\<Your Username>\Appdata\Local\Adobe
    and/or maybe under
    c:\users\<Your Username>\Appdata\Local\Temp
    Good luck in finding it / cleaning up your C: drive. (And if not, I hope my little trick mentioned above may also help you.)
    Regards,
    Manuel
    P.S.: Please, Adobe: Let us choose a) where AMM downloads its files and b) don't blindly assume everyone's got plenty of disk space on C: to extract gigabytes of data.

    Thank you for answering. I somehow did this and it worked. I don't know if I saw it here because it says message not seen.
    I actually came to this window (inbox) when searching for another simple task that doesn't seem to have an answer that works. I really hope you can help me.
    I just saw an answer u posted today. I never received a notice that it was here. Today, Adobe finally got revel fixed and I looked carefully at my account. When the app first opens in revel, I see briefly a few of the photos added from iphone. I then came to adoberevel.com to see if possible to upload from computer using just some type of add photos button in revel. I searched help and got an answer saying to click add  
    Qoute from answer:
    "To add photos to your Revel account, just click "Add Photos" to upload or drag and drop the files from your computer.
    To add your images to an Album
    1. Click on "Select Photos" then select your images
    2. Then click "Add to Album" & choose the album that you want to add your images to."
    I searched every part of revel and cannot find any button anywhere to "add photos." I next tried the next answer to add inages to an album.  I created a new album and did see the note in center of album screen which says "add photos or videos to this album."  The link you need to click to do this does not work. I've been at this for hours, first spending a lot of time trying to get revel app to open, trying to find photos that show in browser in computer but not only fly by me and ultimately coming to computer to try to upload photos and nothing the support answer says actually exist or are functioning. on the computer revel site. This makes it impossible to buy a subscription which I want to do but this is really becoming too time consuming to continue.
    Maybe the last resort answer will actualy exist, there is mention of using Photoshop or Elements to do  this. I have both programs installed but do not know how to  do this and again the support answer stops just short of telling enough to be able to do this.
    I'm sorry to have to bother you with such a basic question. My real preference is to be able to just click add photos and as all programs do, the small window opens to select photos.
    Thank you very much.
    My email address in case you can let me know when you have the answer posted is: [email protected]

  • The Adobe Application Manager Problem

    Adobe Acrobat XI Pro is installed in my Windows 7 (64 bit) PC. It works. But The Adobe Application Manager is still installing. It won't quit. Looks like there is a problem in the installation.

    These steps should resolve the issue:
    Launch the Windows Task Manager and click on the button labeled "Show processes from all users". Ensure no invisible process by the name of PDApp.exe is running. If found, kill it. The alternative is to restart your machine. This will kill any running processes.
    Reintall the Adobe Application Manager from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773 to ensure you have the latest version.

  • My updates are failing.  Adobe application manager may be damaged.  I have downloaded and installed a new copy and the problem persists.   Please help.

    I am trying to update Photoshop CS6 in order to read my camera's RAW files.  It is a camera that is supported by Adobe Photoshop CS6.  However, when I try to get the Adobe Application Manager to update the software, it fails to do so.  (The spinning wheel tells me it is checking for updates and then quits, saying that "Update Failed - Updates could not be applied.  Adobe Application Manager may be damaged.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.")
    I have tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager 8.0, which gives me the following error message "We've encountered the following issues.  Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."  However, when I go to the link provided to download the Adobe Support Advisor, this piece of software NO LONGER EXISTS. "
    The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued
    The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation."
    So, I have gone to the forums and took the recommended step to update my software manually - getting the update Photoshop_CS6_13_0_6upd-2.dmg.  However, this update also fails stating that my Adobe Application Manager may be damages.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.  Which puts me right back where I started.  
    I have also taken the step of completely reinstalling Photoshop CS6.  This did not solve the problems outlined above.  
    Please help!

  • Problems after upgrading Adobe Application Manager

    After updating to the latest version of Adobe Application Manager, the AAM stopped working and gives me the error message 'Adobe Application Manager is corrupted and must be reinstalled' everytime I run the program. I tried re-installing (with the 6.2 patch) but the end result is always the same. I also tried installing the whole Suite again and then the Application Manager works properly until it automatically updates itself. I have also tried the CS uninstallation tool to no effect.
    The system affected is a MacBook running Windows 7 with the Parallels application.
    Any ideas to try?

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,

    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,

    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.
