Rror message "Adobe Application Manager is needed ......."

Getting 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".  I am using CS5.  The only patch I can find is for the CC version.  Will this work for my older version?  Any suggestions for how to solve this are greatly appreciated.

The Adobe Application Manager is not used or needed for CS5.  I suspect you have installed something in error and got your adobe apps confused.  Can you gives some history?  What steps/issues led to this situation?
Also what operating system are you using?

  • Installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"

    installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"
    Is this because I need to deactivate cs5 on one of the computers?
    CS5 is on 2 old computers. I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    What do I need to do?

    I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    Forget that part. The apps won't work. Adobe apps must be installed properly. That may well explain your issues with CS6, too. Generalyl, though, there is no need to uninstall older versions...

  • Adobe application manager is needed

    hello , I just want to test the photoshop trial trough the creative cloud but when i try to launch it, it says that AAM is needed but I already installed it several times now. I've been searching for hours now and don't get whats going wrong.
    thanks for answering

    Try downloading the offline installer from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html
    Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • 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!

  • Installation of Dreamweaver CC 2014 - Problem with Adobe Application Manager

    Hi I have recently installed the Adobe Dreamweaver CC2014 as a trial, and I received this message:
    Adobe Application Manager, necesario para iniciar la versión de prueba, falta o está dañado.
    Descargue Adobe Application Manager de nuevo de
    http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_es.
    The thing is that I have installed the Adobe Application Manager and the problem persists.
    What should I do to fix it?

    You need to uninstall the CC desktop app & reinstall it. You can refer to :
    1.Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps
    2.Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop
    you can't install CC without Internet access. Even if you can download the apps separately, you still need the application manager and it needs to connect to the servers to provide the licensing and activation.

  • LR3 and camera raw and adobe application manager

    Hi all,
    I have LR3 and can't for the life of me find out in the documentation or on the website whether or not
    1. LR3 uses camera raw
    2. if it does, whether it gets installed automatically with LR3
    3. where it might get installed
    4. if necessary, how you have to install the upgrade (I get "adobe application manager required" error message, can't find that on the website either)
    HELP PLEASE!!
    Cheers, Bob

    Although ACR (app) may not be necessary when using LR3, it is needed when you use services in Photoshop - such as "merge to panorama", or HDR. I'm constantly getting an error the latest ACR is not installed. WIth the release of ACR 6.2, I'm trying again and when I try to install it I get an error "Application Manager needed to update your product" then:
    Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from Adobe.com, or install this product again.
    The link (http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager)  to the page is incorrect and returns a 404 error.
    Helpful.
    I'm not albe to locate a link to download a copy of the Adobe Application Manager. Anyone know where that is?
    So, I still can't install ACR because of this issue. Although this doesn't seem to be a LR issue specifically, accessing ACR from LR3 is significant to some of us.
    Suggestions welcome, and appreciated.

  • "Adobe Application Manager unexpectedly quit.

    I  paid my $9.99. Every  time I try and download Photoshop CC or Lightroom. I get this message "Adobe Application Manager unexpectedly quit." What am I doing wrong?

    Hi barbarakaye1,
    Welcome to the Community!
    Looks like it is corrupted. We might need to install Adobe Creative cloud, lets try the below steps:
    Download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Extract and run it.
    Select "e" for English.
    Hit "Y" for Yes if asked.
    Select Option 3 for Creative Cloud.
    Then select Option 1 for Creative Cloud Installer.
    Rename the OOBE folder to OOBE OLD from :
                   Mac: MAC HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe               Win: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\
    Also, If there is a process running named 'AAM Update Notifier' or 'AAM Registration Notifier' . Kill those processes and try to install Adobe Application Manager again and check.
    Download and Install the latest version here: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    -Ankit

  • Problems after upgrading Adobe Application Manager

    After updating to the latest version of Adobe Application Manager, the AAM stopped working and gives me the error message 'Adobe Application Manager is corrupted and must be reinstalled' everytime I run the program. I tried re-installing (with the 6.2 patch) but the end result is always the same. I also tried installing the whole Suite again and then the Application Manager works properly until it automatically updates itself. I have also tried the CS uninstallation tool to no effect.
    The system affected is a MacBook running Windows 7 with the Parallels application.
    Any ideas to try?
    Thanks!

  • I have a problem with Adobe Application Manager

    When I try to install adobe application manager it tells me that the installer failed to initialize and it tells me to install the Adobe Support Advisor.After I installed the  Adobe Support Advisor it tells me that there is nothing wrong but I still can't install Adobe Application Manager.I need help please.

    Hi,
    Return code of 37 means that the Adobe genuine Validation check has failed. This means that your media got corrupted while downloading or copying. You should re-download it from Adobe.com and make a fresh package using AAMEE 3.1.

  • Flash Builder 4-Adobe Application Manager

    I installed a trial version of Flash builder, but everytime when I want to open/run it it gives me this error: "Adobe Application Manager is needed to run this trial, Download the Adobe Application Manager from www.dobe.com"...I searched for this to download but I cant find it. Can anyone please assist, send me a link where I can download it, if I have to download it to make it work.

    Try this (assuming you are using Win)
    - Get the Fb installer, locate the top level folder containing Set-up.exe
    - Now open the command prompt with "Run as administrator" mode
    - Go to the folder containing the Set-up.exe
    - Now run the Set-up.exe --mode="silent" to repair the Adobe Application Manager.
    If problem persists, share the logs %temp%/PDApp.log

  • Updating Adobe Application Manager silently in an Enterprise, how?

    Hi
    We have deployed Creative Cloud CS6 on Windows 7 and now the Adobe Application Manager (PDApp) needs to be updated to work, but the remoteupdatemanager doesn't update that component. I've tried seaching for at solution on how to get it working without any result.
    Any enterprise users care to share how they do it or are you having the same problem?
    Currently Creative Cloud have only been a license-wise positive experience, installation-wise it's a nightmare compared to the pre-Creative Cloud days. Still trying to get CC working on Windows 8 with a cpp generated 32-bit package.
    Cheers,
    Anders

    Hi,
    Just create a simple package with CCP and deploy it (containing any product or update). The latest Adobe Application manager will be automatically updated.
    Thanks
