Adobe Application manager says I have already installed programs when that is not true

Hi there,
I have a CS6 subscription, and whenever I try to download and set up an application, it says that the program is already installed on two computers. Which is not true as I am going for the first install of that program.
I just spent an hour waiting for InDesign CS6 to download and install, and now I cannot start using it as it says it is already on two computers. AIt would be good to get the warning saying the program is already set up on two computers BEFORE I wait an hour for the program to download and install.
Online chat is not available and the phone number on the website is for the USA. I am in Australia.
How can I get help to solve this problem? I have NOT installed InDesign CS6 before, so how can the Application Manager think I have already installed it twice?
What is wrong with the application manager or my subscription? I am paying monthly to get access to CS6 programs and I am just getting error messages after a long wait.
Very frustrating.

Sam if you are receiving the message that the software has already been activated on two other computers then please choose the deactivate all option.  You can then activate on your computer and then reactivate or activate on another computer.

  • CC applications asking for Adobe Application Manager, but I have the CC program

    My creative cloud applications are asking for adobe application manager, but I have the Creative Cloud desktop program.
    I get this when I launch photoshop or Lightroom:

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
    Aarroonn789 the Adobe Application Manager is a main component of the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  I would recommend removing and reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html.

  • Application Manager says Photoshop is already installed?

    Finally decided to join Creative Cloud. Downloaded the latest version of Adobe Application Manager, and I can't download Photoshop because it is listed as "Up to date." I need to fix this problem ASAP!
    Note also that I previously had CS5 (master) installed on my computer (I use a Mac), but before I did any of this, I removed all apps from my hard drive (including emptying the trash). Not sure if the two are connected, but if so, I find it strange that only Photoshop is the problem when I had the full collection?
    Thanks

    Uninstalled Application appears as still Installed. SOLUTION:  I'd like to share something about Uninstalling apps . Sometimes when installing an  "X" app (using the Adobe Application Manager) a piggy-back app "Y" gets installed, also. And this without you noticing.  To succeed uninstalling, make sure both the main "X" app and its piggybacks ( "Y" ) are also uninstalled.  Normally, the uninstaller window will ask you if you want to uninstall the "piggy-back" app(s).  Say Yes ! You wanna uninstall everything that the uninstaller window proposes you.  Otherwise, Application Manager will consider app "X" as still Installed and/or updated, etc.
    It happened to me with PREMIERE (my "X" app - the one that I really needed).  By installing Premiere, a piggy-back came along (app "Y" - the one that I didn't know would be also installed ).  That piggy-back was Adobe Encore. It was not until I uninstalled Encore, that Adobe Application Manager recognized my previous Uninstallation of Premiere.  My Fault !  Because, when I started to uninstall Premiere a little window pops-up, and asked me if I also wanted to remove Encore.  I said No.  And that's why Premiere was still showing up as "Installed" in Adobe Application Manager.  So, I uninstalled Encore using the uninstall app inside Encore's folder, and now I'm ready and clean to make fresh installation of Premiere (and its piggy-backed Encore).  Funny, because, Encore means "AGAIN" .  Here we go encore ! GOOD to share this.  Adobe Cloud rocks!  Peace !  fr. Luis "Netweaver"

  • Adobe Application Manager says InDesign is up to date, but it's not installed?

    I had a trial version of InDesign and Illustrator, and the application manager insists that both are up to date, so I cannot install them. However, neither of these programs are installed on my computer anymore. How can I fix this?
    Thank you!

    Did you run the uninstallers for InDesign and Illustrator? Just deleting or dragging the applications to the Trash will not remove them.
    On Windows uninstall from the Control Panel. On Mac OS X uninstall from Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    If you have uninstalled then run the Adobe Cleaner Tool which you can download from here http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html. Have it just cleanup InDesign and Illustrator.

  • Adobe Application Manager says Lightroom is installed. Its not.

    I have been migrating my apps to a new drive and now I cant install Lightroom couse Adobe Application Manager says Lightroom is installed allready. What to do???

    We have to Re-name the OOBE folder and so we will be able to install the software from AAM, once it is installed we can undo the OOBE folder.
    Mac HD> Application support > Adobe> OOBE
    For 32 bit :  C:\Program Files > Common Files > Adobe\ OOBE
    For 64 bit: C:\Program Files( X 86) > Common Files > Adobe\ OOBE
    You can re-name the OOBE folder as OOBE.old.
    Note: Please don't forget the Re-name the OOBE.old as OOBE once the software is installed.

  • Application Manager says Acrobat X is installed when it isn't.

    I had CS5.5 installed on my Mac, and then I also installed CS6 via the Creative Cloud and Adobe Application Manger to try it out. After deciding to sign up to the CC license, I used the Adobe uninstaller to delete CS5.5. That went smoothly, but now Acrobat X is gone (as it should be after running the CS 5.5 uninstaller) and the new Adobe Application Manager says that Acrobat Pro X is INSTALLED. I can't seem to find a way to reset AAM and get it to recognize that Acrobat is actually now uninstalled and install it again.
    Any thoughts and help on the matter would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Application Manager says Update Failed and the patch is not applicable for me. PLEASE HELP!

    As the title said, that's my dilemma. I have the OS X Yosemite update (worst mistake of my life) on the iMac. Photoshop CS6 was acting much slower and crashed a couple of times, so I tried to update it. However the Adobe Application Manager was uncooperative and said that the update failed. If there are any other things you need to know in order to fix the problem, tell me. Just please, please HELP ME.

    which update are you trying to install? What is the current version you have?
