I have to update Abobe Creative Cloud individually?

I thought the whole idea of cloud software was that it would always be up to date. Good thing I decided to read the forum or I would not know I need to individually update and patch my Adobe Creative Cloud software. So what is the AAM updating when it updates every few weeks if not patches and security fixes? Were you planning on letting your customers that DO NOT follow the forum know that they need to patch thier Adobe Creative Cloud software?

The Updater piece of AAM will let you know if there are updates by appearing in the top menu bar on Mac OS X or in the bottom task tray on Windows.
If you launch an application it will let you know if there are updates to it or other applications. This check happens once a day but only if you launch the application.
If you manually check for updates in an application from the menu Help > Updates then it will check for updates to nearly all applications. So for example manually checking for updates in Photoshop will also check for updates in InDesign, Illustrator, etc. The exceptions to this are Muse and Lightroom, but they will both let you know if they have updates when launched.

  • I have troubles updating the Creative Cloud desktop, what shoud I do?

    Everytime I try to update after the download is almost done, a box appears saying that another Creative Cloud desktop is running and that I need to quit that instance first, but I don't see anything. I click retry but nothing happens, what should I do?

    Hi agv89,
    Welcome to the Community!
    Restart the machine and try to download again, if that doesn't work then try the below steps.
    Are you using Windows? if yes, please open Task manager press (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) at the same time and click on Processes. Check if any CCapp.exe or any other process of Adobe is running like AAM notifier or AAM, if yes end the process and start the download once again.
    Thanks,
    Ankit

  • Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

    I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
    Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
    It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
    I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
    I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
    He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
    I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
    Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
    I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.  Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL.  The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

  • Cancel my Abobe Creative Cloud membership

    I need to cancel my Abobe Creative Cloud membership and it will not let me. They say I have to contact customer support so if a staff can cancel that for me that would be great.

    Hi,
    I purchase the student package with understanding from the sales person that I have access to the software after one year where only the update and the cloud will not be accessible, but with the end of my subscription I was forced out of the software until renewing cloud membership which I don't need or use. Thus after reading the agreement license from the support document it seems I was taken for a fool to believe the person assign to answer my questions when buying the package has tricked me to believe otherwise maybe it is April fool joke.

    Note: I've deleted all Adobe software installed on my Mac but I'm concern regarding if I'm required to contact support for canceling my membership. The account only show link to forums but not any other method of contacts which took me in a loop.
    Thank you

  • How can multiple users use the same Creative Cloud Individual on one single-machine?

    We have one shared graphics workstation, which is infrequently in use by different people - therefore we bought a single-workstation license (which we were referred to "Creative Cloud Individual"). In the FAQs it says it installs locally, but whenever a user different from the installing adminstrator logs in, he is forced to use the trial.
    Is there a way to make the local installation usable on that single machine for multiple users?
    Thanks in advance for your reply

    Serenatasystems do the other users not have administrator access?  What happens if they sign in using the Adobe ID tied to your Creative Cloud subscription?  Do your Adobe Creative applications then exit trial mode?

  • CC apps only have try button in Creative Cloud desktop app

    I received a free 1 year membership because i attended the Adobe Max Conference. I activated the membership in May 2013 and when I go to my profile at adobe.com it says the creative cloud membership is active until May 2014.
    I updated my Creative Cloud desktop app yesterday to download the CC apps and did not have any problems or get any errors. All my CS6 programs are listed in the app along with the CC programs but the CC programs have a try button, not install button. Do I need to re-enter my creative cloud activation code again somewhere else so the programs I download are not trial versions.
    I'm using OS10.8.4

    Jodi I am showing 4 successful activation requests from yesterday.  If you are continuing to experience difficulties then I would recommend contacting our support team.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

  • Remote update manager creative cloud app

    Hello,
    remote update manager won't update the creative cloud app for windows. Is it intended, that we need a separate tool to update the CC-App? Are there any manuals describing how to automatically update it?
    Since users in out company don't have admin privileges, i'd like to do it with a tool such as the remote update manager - but RUM will update all other adobe applications, just not the creative cloud app...
    Thanks and regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Ashubijalwan1,
    just to make sure there is no misunderstanding:
    All Creative Suite Apps are updated except for the app with the name "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    When I use the Creative Cloud Packager and select solely the core components, "Adobe Creative Cloud" is a part of them. The program itself shows a message saying that an update is necessary, but RUM won't update "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    Best regards,
    Tobias

  • I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.

    I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.
    I am getting very frustrated with this. When I try to install the Creative Cloud thing it asks me to pay even though it says try for free.

    Hi Mirrormonolith,
    Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
    1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
    2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
    3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    Please let me know of that worked.

  • BeHance Invite Will Not Update in Creative Cloud Menu App

    I have the current version of Creative Cloud, and everyday when I power up my Mac, the same BeHance Invite appears and I reject it, but it will not go away. The request is from "Semih Turk" to join his Feedback Circle. I click to reject this invite and the notification in Creative Cloud goes away, but at the next startup, Creative Cloud shows the same notification to join Semih Turk's Feedback Circle. I have rejected this invite at least 10 times, and I am really tired of seeing the same notification everyday. I have changed my Adobe Creative Cloud preferences to stop receiving these invites and have also logged directly into BeHance and rejected it - BUT IT STILL APPEARS AS A CREATIVE CLOUD NOTIFICATION AT EVERY STARTUP.
    NOTE: There is no active request from this person when I log into Behance.
    Is this a bug in the CC Menu app? Why won't CC successfully update BeHance when I reject this invite?
    I am going to report this bug with BeHance as well. Hopefully, BeHance and Creative Cloud will work together to figure out why this invite keeps appearing in Creative Cloud at startup, and why it will not go away.

    Has no one still answered this? It has been almost an entire year since this was first reported. Collaboration invitation requests also do not go away, whether accepted or rejected, and keeps popping up regardless of which of my four computers I sign into.

    What is the error message you receive?
    There is a manual way to do updates - All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

    Be sure to retain your serial number.  If you don't have it check your Adobe account online for it in your products section - I recommend keeping a copy of it on hand wherever you call home.  The installation files are currently available thru...

  • New credit card updated however creative cloud still saying it will expire in 12 days

    hi i have been trying to sort this problem out for the last month. I have updated my billing information and seen that $1 has come out of my new credit card to verify the card.

I sat online waiting for someone to help me via chat yesterday for 20 mins, finally got through and explained my situation and they said they will transfer me to another department via chat, and the other department never turned up. I am so frustrated, can you please help me?

    I don't know if this will help or not.  I've been having a similar problem for a while.  After multiple attempts to update information directly on the Adobe site, I finally got my  license to renew just now after signing out of the Creative Cloud client on my computer, then signing back in.  It's not the first time I've tried that, it's the first time it actually worked.
