How to update creative cloud without admin rights / workaround / windows 7

one of my co-workers is running creative cloud on a PC / windows 7.  we're using typekit fonts in our AI files. 
seems creative cloud wants to update pretty often, like every week.
THE ISSUE(S)
the user can't update it themselves without getting IT to login as admin to the PC.
we can't access the typekit fonts without the creative cloud app running.
we can't run the creative cloud app until we run the update (the updates are forced)
it's a major hold-up for us, as the team can't work on a file properly as the fonts are missing w/out CC running.  and we can't update CC without IT.  and we can't run CC without updating. 
is there any workaround for this?  can the CC updates be "turned off" or sceduled once a month or something like that?
thanks!!

This is an excellent point – all other updates in Creative Cloud are unforced and up to the customer as to when they are installed...  The Creative Cloud Desktop app should be as well.
Hope Adobe can change this.
Note: Here is the update history, on average about once per month –

    I have over 300 users in a domain environment  and I cannot allow them to have admin rights on the machines.Is there a Registry hack or key that we can adjust to allow CC to update without these rights?

  • How to Install AIR appliaction Without Admin Rights

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to install AIR application without admin rights, because many of our user don't have Admin login. I should make the
    AIR application to install in all user login. is it possible?
    can anyone know how to do this? please post your suggestions and solutions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vasanth

    On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
    IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f5986ec-8000.ht ml#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f59823a-7fee

  • How to run Power Saver without admin rights

    How can I use the power saver (V6.00.04) with a user account without admin rights (Windows XP)? When I login as a "normal" user the lamp icon does not appear in the system tray. When I try to start it manual I get the error message that I don't have the necessary access rights.

    @deloop
    The Power saver needs admin rights to works successfully.
    Either you will assign the admin right s to the user account or the user will be not able to use the power saver utility
    You could also try this;
    Right click on the power saver.exe and select the properties. There you should find an tab called security.
    On my notebook it works but the notebook is set to domain and not to workgroup!

  • Updated creative cloud and everything disappeared, running windows 7 64 bit

    I updated creative cloud on my windows 7 desktop, this failed with error code 50, cancelled the update, then tried again this time the update went ahead as normal however on completion. All my creative cloud short cuts etc had disappeared and windows told me that the creative cloud exe file no longer existed.
    Ok I thought I will reinstall and take it from there, however the CC web page will only allow me to repay[my next subscription is not due until June, so that is a no no,] the question is how do I get CC back my copies of Photoshop and Lightroom appear to be working normally and tell me that they are up to date Help

    Negative to the cleaner, as I have no problem with anything else but CC desktop app and that isn’t anywhere to be seen, therefore nothing to clean, I don’t even know if I have the cleaner installed ?, I am just a keen amateur who likes using LR mainly and my nik plug in collection occasionally, this is just a nuisance to me, I only use the desk top app to update when it reminds me to, as I have lightroom 4 anyway and have hardly used Photoshop since I took out my subscription last June, it may pay me to just upgrade Lightroom when my subscription finishes I certainly don’t fancy having to run any chance of using a cleaner and losing my plugins, backing everything up etc, especially when the website isn’t user friendly as regards trying to re install the desk top app.
    Thanks for your time anyway, sorry it couldn’t be a quick fix.

  • Is there any way to install a plugin without admin rights on windows 7

    Hi all,
    I've developed a plugin for adobe indesign cs5. I was able to install my plugin(by creating .msi file) into indesign plugins folder, when extension manager is opened as administrator.
    I just want to know, if I can install the plugin without admin rights.
    FYI: My plugin will add a link to File menu on menubar of the indesign application, clicking which will execute the scripts.
    Please let me know if you want any other information.
    Thanks for any ideas/support.
    Regards,
    Srikanth

    InDesign will load plugins from the path specified in the PlugInConfig.txt file in the user's InDesign preferences directory, which does not require administrative privileges. See "Using PlugInConfig.txt" on pp.12- of the "Getting Started with the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK" (getting-started.pdf) in the SDK. Specifically:
    Using PlugInConfig.txt
    1. If InDesign is running, exit it.
    2. Create a text file named “PlugInConfig.txt” in the InDesign preference directory, and enter
    the following text into it:
    =Path
    NOTE: The inDesign preference folder is located in the following directory (where <locale> is a
    locale-specific subdirectory; for example, en_US for English):
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Mac OS: <user-home>/Library/Preferences/
    Adobe InDesign/Version #.#/<locale>
    3. Open the PlugInConfig.txt file in a text editor and edit the sections as desired. For example,
    the following tells InDesign to load every plug-in in the sdk folder:
    =Path
    "C:\Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK\build\win\debug\sdk
    NOTE: The preceding example is only for Windows. On Mac OS, use ‘:’ as the path separator.
    NOTE: You also can use a “=Exclude” tag to exclude a certain plug-in from being loaded. This
    is useful if you do not want to load everything in the “=Path” folder.
    NOTE: This is target specific. You cannot launch the release version of InDeisgn with debug
    plug-ins. It is convenient to add both debug and release paths, commenting out the  target that is not in use. For single-line comments, use “;” (semicolon).
    4. Save the PlugInConfig.txt file.
    5. Restart InDesign.
    6. Verify the set of plug-ins loaded by selecting the About Plug-ins menu.

  • How to update creative cloud folio

    I have launched an app on CC. How can I update the app?
    Do I have to submit a new app? If so I get this:
    However, I have 2 apple IDs. I believe this was launched with my first apple ID under the Pro edition. We ended our subscription about a month ago and we are now a CC member. We were able to launch a single edition app just fine. Now it is blocked out. Why is this and how can we update our CC single edition app.

    You have to upload a new application, and you have to use the same .mobileprovision file that you used to upload your first application. The error your seeing is from using the wrong .mobileprovision file for your new application.

  • Installing iTunes updates without admin rights

    I'm the sys admin for a small IT department. None of the users have admin rights, which means every time an iTunes update comes around, they can't install it.
    How can I make this easier for us all, without having to go around to all their machines to install for them, and without giving them admin rights?

    +"None of the users have admin rights, which means every time an iTunes update comes around, they can't install it."+
    Users without admin rights cannot install their own programs, iTunes or otherwise.
    Note that you do not need to install every single iTunes update that comes along. Just upgrade once in while. (I am on 7.6, and doing fine.) The newer versions don't support anything new that your folks are supposed to be doing at work anyway. (-:

  • How do I use the maintenance service to upgrade PCs without admin rights?

    Our users do not have admin rights on their systems so FireFox is WAY out of date. I read about the Maintenance Service in the wiki and hoped it might allow FireFox to update itself without admin rights. I installed v21 and FireFox does not update itself so I am not sure what to make of things. In fact, it does not even seem to try since click in on Help, About shows "Updates available at http://www.firefox.com"
    I have seen some postings indicating others have experienced similar issues with not being able to update as "users", but no solution. I really do NOT want to require our folks use Chrome, which works without any users given its design. Suggestions?

    The maintenance service can only be installed by someone that has administrator permissions (you get an UAC alert), so you can only use this service for updating in the background if someone with administrator permissions has installed this service (maintenanceservice_installer.exe).

  • Updating software without admin rights?

    a few months ago, my mac was assimilated into a Windows active directory and all my admin rights were taken away (security reasons). I am fine with this for the most part, but I do have one problem. I can no longer update my computer's software without admin rights.
    Doesn't anyone know a work around for this? You would think there would be a simple way to give udate access to a user, without comprimizing "security".
    I am the only mac on the Windows active directory and the only user of this machine...if that's helps.

    We have our Macs bound to AD/OD and shutoff Software Update, as well as other items that users should not manipulate while allowing admin access for other purposes.
    It takes Apple hardware and software running to accomplish this, but Leopard will allow more of this type control while giving some flexibility to the user - if it is granted.
    It's a tough balance - some users know what they're doing, most don't.
    As for corporate/gov't IT - SOX compliance has dictated a lot of this, so don't be too hard on the IT guys.
    As for timely updates - have you tried pleading your case? I know that if you try, you best have a set of reasons why you need it. If you can't do that, maybe the updates are only a pacifier.

  • How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    Hi @DRB1961, 
    I do not think the Zeen will work if you no longer have the C510 printer. The printer is necessary to ensure the Zeen is up to date. The Zeen is simply not a standalone device, it is a component of the printer.   I can not say this with certainty that it will not work, so it is worth trying to reset the Zeen to finding out for sure.
    When you see this message, "must dock the Zeen to the printer to continue", can you access the settings using the 3rd icon above the touch screen? If so we can do a factory reset, if not there is no other way I can think of to bypass this message.
    I just tried a reset on a Zeen I have access to, after the initialization, it prompts me to attach the Zeen to the printer to continue with product setup. it appears my original speculation was correct. No, you can not use the Zeen without the printer.

    Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and ensure you have updated with your profile with a real handle instead of "866673".
    You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should usually include:
    <li>Full APEX version
    <li>Full DB version and edition
    <li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
    <li>Browser(s)/version(s) used
    <li>Theme
    <li>Templates
    <li>Region type
    (although for your question only the APEX version is necessary).
    Assuming you mean a user who can authenticate to an application that uses Application Express Account Credentials?
    In APEX 4.0:
    1. Go to Home > Application Builder > [Your Application ] > Administration > Create Users and Groups > Create User
    2. Enter the User Identification information.
    3. In the Account Privileges, specify:
    User is a workspace administrator: No
    User is a developer: No
    4. Complete the rest of the form as necessary.
