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.
Thanks!

I can not login to Adobe Application Manager without admin privilage. WHY?

I can not login to Adobe Application Manager without admin privilege. WHY? I must run app as administrator, only this way i can login using Adobe ID.

if you are receiving an error that you do not have sufficient permissions to install the software then please try installing under a newly created local Administrator account.
A normal administrator account should not run into these difficulties so it would appear the file permissions under your current account have been damaged.
Alternately you can review your installation logs to more accurately identify where the file permission errors are occurring. Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 -http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.
Hope this helps you.

How to force Adobe Application Manager to reinstall all the cluod products

Hi
Due to a serious failure on my Windows 8 computer I had to restart the configuration from a Safe Point; unfortunately that configuration was not including Adobe products, so the restart has PARTIALLY erased main part of my applications, but NOT COMPLETELY. In this moment i have some directories on the disk, but can't uninstall anymore products like Photoshop, Aftereffects, Encore and all the rest from the Windows Uninstall tool. And, Adobe Application Manger STILL BELIEVES THEY ARE ON MY HD, so all I can do is to update tools. If I update nothing happen but the waste of time to wait for download. I would like or to uninstall AAM and all the rest or to force reinstallation, but how can I do?
Hope not to have to wipe all the HD and reinstall all the operating system and other applications from scratch. Thank you for any support.

You should be able to fix the problem using the Adobe Cleaner Tool available here http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.

Adobe Application Manager failed during update and fils to reinstall

G'day All,
I put this up in November last year in a Creative Suites discussion thread (sse blow the line), and though the original post has been viewed more than 280 times, I have received no responses. I simply cannot update my CS6 software. I have just reposted the information below there, and figured I should try here, also.
Details : CS6 design and web premium, HP Pavilion quad-core i7, now running Windows 8.1
Essentially my application manager failed while it was upgrading itself as I was attempting to fix a problem with Acrobat/the Adobe PDF printer constantly failing after printing only one PDF. The updater/application manager then simply disappeared from my system altogether.
At the time of the original problem I had downloaded ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe; if I attempt to run it I get a pop-up window 2/3rds of the way through the installation and the following message 'Installer failed to initialise. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem'.
Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists.
So I tried the latest version - ApplicationManager8.0_all.exe. This installed just fine, but seems to be entirely oriented around CC applications, so I haven't tried it on my CS6 programs. Should I just uninstall it? I rather wonder why it says 'This patch will install the Adobe Application Manager that is included with Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Suite 6, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 products' if, in fact, it's just for CC products.
So, any suggestions on what to do now? I'd really like to be able to update my applications via a Manager that will actually function.
regards,
Bill
G'day All,
(CS6 design and web premium, Windows 8. HP Pavilion quad-core i7)
Frankly, this is ridiculous.
Having been driven nuts by the 'Acrobat manager is not activated' message which persisted in popping up if I made any attempts beyond one to create a PDF - that is, I could print one, and then no others without a reboot, nor having done so could I read any PDFs - I searched online and got a discouraging, tangled mess of suggestions, including the fairly obvious one of checking that all programs had been updated by the Application Manager.
'Ah,' I thought, 'maybe if I ensure everything's up-to-date this thing where Acrobat failing to start because it thinks it's not 'activated' means I can neither read nor print PDFs will be miraculously fixed without my having to install magical patches or deregister and reregister the entire suite in order to appease a program I don't even use or want!'
Poor naive fool that I am!
So I tried to run the Application Manager.
It momentarily flashed a message claiming (I believe - it was only there for a second) another instance of itself was running, then proceeded to run an update process for the application itself, then threw up an administration window seeking to allow the program to modify the system about 2/3rds of the way through, and then announced via a little window with one of those horrible little red 'fail' symbols that the application manager had failed to install.
It sure had!
That's it - I now have no Application Manager to attempt to manage updates through! No shortcut - that disappeared too! Nothing in the hideous Windows 8 start menu! No search will reveal it! It's simply gone. Yes, I've rebooted.
All I can find online suggests installing a new instance of the Application Manager, which is, of course, the CC version, and I'm not a subscriber. OK, maybe that will work, but, quite frankly, with two strikes against Adobe already I'm going to ask if anyody actually knows whether this approach, or any other, is likely to solve the problem.
regards,
Bill

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. Sure am! But that's not the main problem.
However, it appears the main problem has been fixed - via the installation of AAM 8 - a mere 9 months later! CS6 updates - woohoo!
This didn't fix the Adobe PDF printing thing - in fact, I just lost everything I'd previously typed in response to you testing this hadn't been fixed by AAM 8's updates (it hasn't!).
However, during the 9 month fallow period I've discovered that if I keep process explorer open and kill the splwow64.exe/acrotray.exe process tree after every single PDF printing I don't get bizarre messages telling me the Adobe PDF printer isn't 'activated' or have my system go into a tizzy and need rebooting. So it still doesn't really work, but I do have a work-around...
regards,
Bill

Adobe Application Manager Hangs and Won't Load

I am a Creative Cloud subscriber
I manually uninstalled Acrobat XI -- I know, bad idea, I shouldn't have done that, but now it is what it is ...
So now I cannot run Adobe Application Manager without it hanging
I downloaded and installed the AAM patch from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
That did not solve the problem
I used the uninstallers to remove all my Creative Cloud apps as suggested here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html#download_freeze
That did not solve the problem
I'm stuck. Now I have no Creative Cloud apps and I cannot get the AAM running so that I can get the apps installed.

Delete the opm.db. Should be somewhere in Library:Application Support:Adobe

Adobe Application Manager Stuck in Menu Bar - Mac

Hello,
A few years ago, before I upgraded to my own Mac, I installed the CS5 trial on my husband's Mac, seeing if his computer could handle the Creative Suite. Well, it couldn't. It's an older Mac, so I purchased my own,and have since upgraded to Creative Cloud on my own Mac.
The Adobe Application Manager is still stuck on my husband's Mac. I have uninstalled the entire CS5 suite, (I downloaded a trial version to his computer at least two years ago), run the Adobe Cleaner, and also used CleanMyMac. The updated with the number is still stuck in his menu bar.
I tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager this morning, from the Adobe website, but I am receiving an error on the installation. HELP! This computer does not have any of the Adobe Creative Suite products anymore, so I can't open the Application Manager and disable it. I did try to open his Adobe Reader, and click on Check For Updates, but that just tells me that Adobe Reader is up-to-date.

Let's see...
Ok - In the Language tab everything's listed (and probably has been since 2008) with English at the top - so I'll delete everything except English and reboot.
And... I'll be darned. Now the AAM UI is in English.
So I wonder why this has never cropped up in the 4+ years I've been running this rig?
Oh well - this workaround will get me through the installs, but it seems like the AAM could use a little polish in this area
Thanks!

Eliminate Adobe Applications Manager

Now I have to restate the question. This is totally unacceptable. Here is the question.
How do I PERMANENTLY eliminate the insufferably intrusive 'Adobe Applications Manager' without affecting access to previously purchased and registered products?
An early response would be greatly appreciated especially if it is generated by Adobe staff.

It can't be done and that is that. Feel free to suppress the services and executables using your service manager, firewall and whatever otehr technical means you deem suitable - at your own peril.

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,

If you are a Creative cloud member then you can completely remove Adobe application manager from Adobe suite cleaner tool which can be downloaded through http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and install our new Adobe Creative cloud from https://creative.adobe.com/https://creative.adobe.com/products.

Adobe application manager needed for CS5

I just d/l and installed 3 updates for AI, ID, PS from the Adobe site. The update application isn't working. After d/l and trying to install Adobe Bridge 5.02 twice, I've gotten the same error message:
Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again.
It must have been working to do the other updates. I just d/l the Applications Manager for CC, which says it works for CS5, but to only run if I get one of 2 error messages:
Adobe Application Manager is needed to update your product.
Adobe Application Manager is needed to start your trial.
My error message is different but to me, implies the same thing. Should I install it?
I'm on a mac 10.9
thank you

Thank you for the response Jeff. I had just installed the Adobe software on a brand new computer that had just had a clean install done by Apple less than 48 hours earlier. I don't use Adobe Cloud or any of the online services. The Adobe Updater appeared after I opened ID for the first time.
"The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications."
Does this mean that there were some prerelease installation files on my CDs? This just doesn't make sense to me unless it's possible that something traveled with a document from my previous computer. I never had any trouble with CS4 and CS5 existing together before.
Does this change your thinking at all?
Thank you!

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.

It will be removed automatically when you will uninstall the last product from creative suites (including older versions of creatives suites)
However, can you please confirm if download is happening slow on your system. Can you check your broadband speed using www.speedtest.com
