Need help completely removing Adobe Application Manager.

I just tried to update my Adobe Application Manager but it told me the install was broken, so I went and uninstalled it hoping that I could just download the installer again and reinstall.
This has not worked, and now the installer package for Adobe App Manager still tried to update and not do a fresh install. It gives me the error that it failed to initialise when I try.
I guess the only thing now is to root out the registry parts for this as there are no other traces of the AAM left on my PC.
Running Windows 8.1, with Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom 5.7 installed. As well as Reader, Air and Flash.

Ho Kevin,
You can follow the article: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 which will help you to completely remove the Adobe Application manager from your computer.
Let us know if you still face any issues with that.
Thanks,
Ratandeep Arora

I removed Adobe application manager? Is that okay?

Just want to know if it will effect Adobe After Effects CS6? Yes/No? Removed it cause I dont need it.

Hi Broadcast_78,
Removing Adobe application manager will not effect anything, it is required at the time of activation and updates however you can update the software's manually as well.
Thanks!

Completely uninstall Adobe Application Manager

I mistakenly installed Adobe Application Manager last night because I thought it was needed to make it easier to update my existing Adobe Reader v10 and my other Adobe products (AIR, Flash, Photoshop Elements, and Premier Elements). How stupid of me to not do my research FIRST!!! Now I can not get rid of the damned thing. It will not show up in the Windows Programs and Features program listing in the Control Panel so I can remove it that way and the instructions to completely remove AAM that are given on the web site simply do not work as I have NONE of the applications listed in AAM that purportedly will remove AAM if they are uninstalled.

I was also fooled into believing that Adobe Application Manager was a necessary update for my creative suite. Even if AAM is necessary for core functionality (i.e., see smoke and mirrors description for AAM), I would be left with the following concerns:
Core functionality has nothing do to with Adobes decisions to install software on my personal computer that appears solely dedicated to pushing unsolicited trial software.
Using the Adobe application update manager to install AAM/a mechanism to push trail software is deceitful.
The description for AAM appears to be intentionally misleading.
The interface is confusing; AAM lists installed software as not being installed, as well as software that is not part of my creative suite. Why would I possibly want to install a trail version alongside my equivalent licensed version?
If Adobe wanted to push an update that truly provided core functionality, they would have done this as they have done in the past, and I would not have a confusing listing of trial software sitting of my desktop.
For lack of a better phrase, I feel like Adobe Spammed my computer with trialware in a manner that is markedly disingenuous. My take away lesson – Do not trust Adobe updater, do not trust Abode to conduct business in a forthright and principled manner, and of most importance, image/backup before running Adobe updater.
Venting aside, I inevitably gave up on trying to uninstall AAM and reverted back to a recent drive image.
Does anyone know of a way to keep AAM from popping up in the application update manager?

Could anyone help me with Adobe Application Manager please? I write my approved serial number but can´t go further?

I bought a Student version CS5 back in 2010 for my studies and it worked wonderfully until last week. Now when I try to open any of the Adobe programs, it takes me to Adobe Application Manager and asks for me to provide my serial number. When I write it, it´s approved but it still does not allow me to open any of the Adobe programs. Instead, it asks me again for the serial number. I called support and they confirmed my serial number is correct but they do not deal with CS5 over the phone anymore. Could anyone kindly help me through here please? Many thanks in advance.

When I try to open any Adobe program, "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard - Adobe Software License Agreement" pops up. I press "Agree" and then it takes me to the next part: "Provide A Serial Number" because my trial had expired. I had never agreed to a trial back when I bought the CS5 package because I had the package, of course. And I have never had any troubles/messages to access my Adobe programs until last week. I called Adobe to confirm my serial number and it is correct but then the person could not help me further because they do not deal with CS5 over the phone, hence asking through here. Once I write the serial number, I get a green tick saying that "This serial number will be used for: Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard". I then press "Complete" and it takes me all the way back to the "Adobe Software License Agreement". It has been this vicious circle over and over. I unistalled it, then installed it again various times using my serial number and ID, I don´t know what else to do and everyone I call they can not help me for some reason. So thank you very much for taking your time in helping me out.

Adobe Application Manager Complete Uninstall

Hi!
I've been using Adobe Acrobat XI for a trial period. The program is good, however I'm not willing to purchase a license at present. So, I've removed it.
BUT Adobe Application Manager still resides in my system. I cannot uninstall it neither through Windows Control Panel, nor with the help of third parties uninstallers (Revo Uninstaller, Absolute Uninstaller, Final Uninstaller). Using Creative Suit Cleaner Tool. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html was also unsuccessful.
So, the question is: How can I completely uninstall Adobe Application Manager from my system (Windows 7 HP x64)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AAM is needed if you run any other Adobe software. see this post for uninstall info and more: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4723542

What Is Adobe Application Manager?

What is Adobe Application Manager and how is it helpful for me? I have Adobe CS6 and Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my computer.

Hi MK22567,
Adobe application manager is core application for all Adobe Creative Suite Products and is required for download, deployment, provisioning and updater functionality. Removing Adobe Application Manager from your machine may result in incorrect functioning of your product like Photoshop elements and Premier Elements in your case. So my recommendation would be not to remove Adobe Application Manager from your machine.

Adobe application manager update server not responding

I have installed the Creative Suite 6 Master Collection from CDs,
and activated the license. Now when I run Photoshop > Help >
Updates, the Adobe Application Manager runs, but gives the error
message "The update server is not responding. The server might be
offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewal settings may be

Acrobat and Lightroom both updated no problem. I waited a day, but
the problem persists. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Bruce

I found the answer in another post (https://forums.adobe.com/message/4484225#4484225):
Go to creative.adobe.com, and download PhotoShop CC
This downloads, installs, and runs Creative Cloud
As soon as it comes up running, cancel the download of PS CC
All of the CS 6 apps are ready to update

Davinci thank you for the update.
Please utilize any available uninstallers that are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once all of the available uninstallers have been run you will then want to rerun the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find directions on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. After the CC Cleaner Tool is run then please reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
The CC Cleaner Tool is designed to be used after running the uninstallers. Without running the uninstallers first then a complete removal may not be possible.

Help with updating and Adobe Application Manager (Max OS X)

Hi,
I am a resent new customer of the cloud (student and teachers) service. I have started encounter some minor but kind of annoying technical problems. Before I registered for a cloud account I was running the Adobe Master Collection (trial) version on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.8.2). I successfully completed the registration to cloud and began to download and updated the app's. It went fine, until I came across a small little problem with Premier Pro. I was trying to import a few *.MOV files for a uni video that I have to do over Xmas.
Instead of spending time trying to figure out the problem I decide to uninstall and download/install all of the app on the my cloud hub, just incase it was something to so with my pervious installations. I couldn't directly re-download the apps via the cloud hub, so I had to re-download another trial version. However, now I can not get the Adobe Application Manager to work, I keep saying "Download Error, Please try again" I have tried it load of time, but keep getting the same message.
Please Help,
Damien

Moshpit84 did you utilize the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers to remove your installation of Premiere Pro? Also what version of the Adobe Application Manager are you currently using?

Please help! My CS6 won't open and Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew CS Cloud subscription.

Hi there.
I recently canceled my CS Cloud subscription about 3 weeks ago and went back to using CS6. I was using CS6 Creative Suite without a problem until 2 days ago. Now my CS6 programs (AI, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat) won't open. Instead the Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew the subscription, see below insert.
I have chatted with Adobe customer support numerous times but when it comes to transferring me to their technical support, the chat mysteriously becomes unavailable. The only time the transfer went through, I was advised to remove CS6 Creative Suite using Cleaner Tool and reinstall, which I did but my CS6 still does not open and the AAM keeps popping up giving me the same message to renew the subscription. The AI/Photohop icons just keep bouncing up and down without opening while the AAM pops up.
What can I do to stop this annoying AAM from popping up and open my CS6? I just want my CS6 to open up again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please help!

My updates are failing. Adobe application manager may be damaged. I have downloaded and installed a new copy and the problem persists.   Please help.

I am trying to update Photoshop CS6 in order to read my camera's RAW files. It is a camera that is supported by Adobe Photoshop CS6. However, when I try to get the Adobe Application Manager to update the software, it fails to do so. (The spinning wheel tells me it is checking for updates and then quits, saying that "Update Failed - Updates could not be applied. Adobe Application Manager may be damaged. Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.")
I have tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager 8.0, which gives me the following error message "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." However, when I go to the link provided to download the Adobe Support Advisor, this piece of software NO LONGER EXISTS. "
The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued
The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation."
So, I have gone to the forums and took the recommended step to update my software manually - getting the update Photoshop_CS6_13_0_6upd-2.dmg. However, this update also fails stating that my Adobe Application Manager may be damages. Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager. Which puts me right back where I started.
I have also taken the step of completely reinstalling Photoshop CS6. This did not solve the problems outlined above.
Please help!
