Can Creative Cloud apps be installed on a non-boot drive?

Can Creative Cloud apps be installed on a non-boot drive? If so, how? I want to install on a different drive on my current system because my boot drive (an SSD) is rather full.

Since I have an SSD drive with rather limited capacty, I did this, and it sort of worked. The Creative Cloud did not give me an option of where to install it. As soon as it installed, I did as instructed above and changed the default. However, Photoshop started installing immediately after I installed the Creative Cloud and did not ask if I wanted to install it. However, it installed correctly in the drive I stipulated in preferences. Photoshop did not install a shortcut onto my desktop, but I had to create one manually.
I noticed that certain items still installed on my SSD. There is an Adobe folder under Programs on the C drive, and there is also an Adobe folder in my SSD under Users.
The only other place I discovered to direct files is in the Photoshop preferences for where to store my scratch files.

  • Creative Cloud app detecting installation of LR on old drive

    Recently upgraded my Macbook with a SSD drive (MainDrive) and did a fresh install of 10.9.4 (Mavericks).  In the process I moved my old HDD (now SecondaryDrive) to the optical drive.  This drive had LR 5 installed but I would prefer a new installation of my new drive.  The Creative Cloud app seems to detect Lightroom on the old drive and simply states it is 'up to date'.   What is odd, is it did not detect the installation CS5 on the old, now secondary drive.
    Without touching my old installation or drive, how can I get the cloud app to simply install a fresh copy of LR on my now main SSD drive?  Is there a way to tell the app to only scan the OS drive?
    I have tried a few tips such as removing the opm.db file without success.  I moved the LR app out of Applications on the SecondaryDrive to the trash, restarted the Creative Cloud app and LR is still found.
    I do not want to boot into the other drive and uninstall LR, I feel I really shouldn't have to.  Any suggestions?

    Just saw the status of LR move from installed to not installed.  I was simply in the settings pane of the Cloud app.  Very odd.

  • Can CS6 be installed on a non-boot drive partition?

    I'm going to run CS6 and Avid MC6 on the same machine (iMac), and thought it would be a good idea to put them on separate partitions to avoid any conflicts.  Avid apparently MUST be on the system (boot) partition... can CS6 be installed on a non-boot internal drive partition?

    It can, but shared components will still end up in your Application Support and Library folder, so this is a moot point. you are trying to avoid something that you can't influence.

  • Can the creative cloud apps be installed on a drive other than the boot drive?

    I have an SSD for the boot drive and keep most apps on an 'applications' drive. It appears that CC apps install by default to the boot drive. Am I incorrect? Can I control what drive they install on?

    Yes you can change the install location:
    Launch the Adobe Application Manager.
    Click on your name in the top left and from the context menu choose Preferences.
    Change the Install Location to the one you want.

  • Can Creatrive Cloud apps be installed on a Windows 2008 server?

    Hi,
    Currently a very limited number of ours users (3-5) have access to Adobe applications as Illustrator, InDesign, PhotoShop and Premiere).These are installed on a local pc.
    In the near future we will start using a VDI Windows Desktop that does not allow an\y software installations.
    Additional apps shoudl be installed in a server environment (Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012). Does this work woith Adobe Creative cloud?
    I tried installing our standalone InDesign license on a server, bbut this doesb't work.
    Thanks

  • How do creative cloud apps get installed without asking for administrator?

    The title says it all but I'll reiterate. How do CC apps downloaded with the Creative Cloud desktop app get installed without asking for administrator user/password? Its the sam on both Mac and Windows and I don't understand how its doing it. This seems like a security hole to me.

    JscottCMD are you installing the Adobe Creative applications with a Creative Cloud Individual subscription?  If so please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install the applications and updates included with your membership.

  • My creative cloud app wont install

    I have followed instructions given on forum after members have complained of similar issues but to no avail. I have quit everything, logged out etc and but its almost like the app is on a constant loop with no result. I click download and it goes back to same page - click again and it may go to instructions on how but never begins.

    For all those stuck... this will install the latest CC Manager.
    MAC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/mac/ApplicationManager7.0_all.dmg
    PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/win/ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe
    And get back to installing...

  • Creative cloud app keeps crashing - help - cannot dowload anything...

    Please help me with Creative Cloud App - on WIN& PC - it keeps stopping.

    Well, after much more web trawling, I got it to work.
    After uninstalling the Creative Cloud app, I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Account Management (AAM) app from here.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437
    Ran it as Administrator, it updated my existing version, then I reinstalled the Creative Cloud App, and installed an application, it took about 10-15 minutes, but up and running now.
    Thanks everyone.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud app not displaying already installed apps and can't install new apps Mac OS 10.9

    Hi,
    I've been using the new Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for a couple weeks now perfectly fine, until yesterday. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects quite extensively. This morning, I opened the Adobe CC app and all but Adobe Acrobat Pro show installed.  The other already installed apps have buttons to "install" but clicking this button shows the "Exit Code: 7 - Unable to complete Silent workflow" error in the logs. Ive tried disabling my Sophos antivirus program and restarted several times.  The already installed applications themselves seem to function normally, they open and work projects. I've even tried to uninstall one of the already installed programs (Bridge) and it fails to uninstall, saying I need to restart my computer and disengage my anti-virus, which I've done. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Adobe CC app as well, and have the same result.  Help.

    So I've completed the solutions listed in the help article with no changes. Here is how it has gone with each solution listed in the article. Also, it is not clear in the article whether these steps are to be done in sequence or may solve the problem individually, but since Solution 1 fails for me, doing them in sequence was impossible.
    Solution 1: Mac OS: Run the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove the program listed as up-to-date.
    This does not work because uninstalling any of these applications does not work. As I stated in the post, the uninstaller for all of my adobe applications (photoshop, bridge, indesign etc) throws the same error each time saying I need to: restart my computer (done) close all applications (done) and disable my antivirus (done, which was fully engaged when I installed the apps originally with no issue) and disable my firewall (done, I don't use one). Not sure what I'm missing on that, plus its a real bummer that I need to reinstall all of my CC apps even if the uninstaller did work because my creative cloud app won't recoginize they've been installed.
    Solution 2: Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
    This did nothing.
    Solution 3: Download and install the latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app from Creative Cloud for desktop.
    This did nothing.
    Solution 4: See the steps listed in Solution 1 to remove all installed Adobe Creative software. Once all Adobe Creative software has been removed, use the CS Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal.  You can find details in Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
    This did not do much because I can't uninstall the software to begin with.
    What am I missing?

  • How many computers can I install my Creative Cloud apps on? May 5, 2012 5:57 AM -- Cloud Busted!!!!

    Ok so i was just about to sign up for the cloud... having big problems with the Application Manager not being able to connect to the Interent (???) and re-directed to Customer Service. S aw this question about how many machines one can install on... blown away by Adobe's answer... 2!!!
    2?  Two? Deux???  Are you guys for real?  This is 2013... we have many more than 2 devices... the subscription should be for me, not my machines.
    I suppose i do notunderstand the meaning of a Cloud based Solution.  Is it me or is Adobe out to lunch on this one?  And b4 the Adobe ppl respond telling me to 'review the licensing agreement' like it the original (locked) post... perhaps it is you, Adobe people, who should review your licensing agreement!!!  I see no reason to pay Adobe for a Cloud Solution now.  It serves no purpose that I can see.  Unfortunate... re-tool it Adobe and get back to me.

    Hi pacman,
    You can install the creative cloud apps on as many device as you want, but simultaneously you will be allowed to use only 2 device at a time as per EULA(end user license agreement).
    You can contact Adobe support they will let you know more about the creative cloud membership.

    I've tried several times to install the creative cloud app (or any other app for that matter), I can download it but it won't install.  I'm using windows 7.  This is the message I get ...
    I've been to the customer support website and followed the instructions for minimising start up apps and anti virus software - no luck!  I've just signed up for cloud membership and I'm losing my patience with this, could someone at Adobe please help.

  • Uninstalled Creative Cloud app and several applications, now can't install package

    I am our CC for Teams administrator. An employee had Creative Cloud app and several applications already installed on Mac workstation. I uninstalled those applications, and I'm trying to install the custom package I created, but it appears the installer does a complete install of the apps, then uninstalls them all and returns an error message saying that the package can't be installed. Is there something else I need to uninstall to allow the package I created to install successfully?
