Uninstalling all Creative Cloud applications at once?

I have a lab of 20 machines with Adobe CC installed on them. I need to uninstall all programs related to the Adobe CC suite. I do not want to uninstall each program one at a time on each machine. Is there an uninstaller exe or a script that can help me out?  I have net support manager to help me somewhat remotely do things. I am not the admin i just get assign to refresh labs.

Windows
Open the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features
Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
Follow on-screen instructions
Im assuming you are referring to this as the uninstall process. This still requires me to uninstall each application individually.
I would like to unistall all highlighted programs.

  • Silently uninstalling all Creative Cloud components on Windows

    Hi
    We have a package containing Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat and our silent installation works fine, but uninstalling all components have left me with a single challange beyond my capabilities. The last component I need to remove silently is the Creative Cloud application using the "Creative Cloud Uninstaller.exe" located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\Utils. No matter how I execute that program it will not be silent. A prompt is presented every time asking me whether I want to remove the application with the options Uninstall or Cancel. Additional it's not a problem I had with CS6, but an entirely new one included with CS7 aka CC
    We are using a software deployment tool to deploy Creative Cloud for Teams to the persons that have a license and use the same tool to remove the software when it need to be replace by something newer or license is moved to another person.
    Any tips?
    Anders

    Hi again,
    A quick update.
    I realized that our organization don't have any need for the Creative Cloud desktop application, hence I created a new package and excluded it. At first I didn't understand this was possible, but at the 2nd step in CCP (create package) if you click the blue colored (Change) button and check the first check box, you disable the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    HTH you and others!

  • CC for Teams, not listing all Creative Cloud Applications

    So here is my problem
    Our company has just upgraded to Creative Cloud for Teams, but when I went to install the software on everyone's machines, I noticed that we were missing certain CC apps.
    I also have a Standard CC license for my personal use to compare this to. Please see the attachment to show what our CC for Teams Application Manager Shows for availability.
    As you can see I am missing: Edge Code CC, Edge Inspect CC & Edge Reflow CC
    I also have quite a few CS6 apps still listed where there should be CC ones: Premeire Pro CS6, AfterEffects CS6, Prelude CS6 and Speedgrade CS6.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hello BEA Marcom
    I would suggest that you removed the old Adobe Applications manager. Please see the following Solutions 1 & 2 in this doc
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
    Then after that is complete click here to download the updated Creative Cloud application manager and install the software.
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    You should be able to see the missing Creative Cloud apps that you are looking for
    Please let us know if this resolves your or not. Could you please take a moment to come back to this discussion and mark the "Correct" if the issue is resolved.  Doing this  greatly benefits your fellow users.

  • Installing Creative Cloud applications from shared windows folder.

    Hello.
    I got new laptop for work use and I am installing creative cloud on it. However laptop ain't that fast and I am wondering that would it be possible to install creative cloud applications from shared windows folder, since I have downloaded and installed all creative cloud applications on my desktop machine already and laptop is intented for working while not at home.rpr
    This would increase installing speed since all those needed files would be available from Local Area Network, which is faster and my broadband and it also would allow hard drive to focus on installing files instead of current simulataneous reading and writing to same hard drive.

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    Subrat

  • Creative cloud applications no longer install

    using the adobe application manager; updates or new applications stop at "waiting to install". Dreamweaver stops downloading all together at 24%
    I have priviously downloaded and installed creative cloud applications with no problem... any ideas. Windows 7

    When did the expression "Clean" come to mean uninstall???
    It does what it says on the tin.
    "The tool can clean up install records for any pre-release (beta) installations of these Creative Suite products. The Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool is designed to not interfere with existing installations of previous versions of Adobe Creative Suite products; it does, however, allow you to remove them as well, if you so choose to."
    The idea is that, prior to using the Cleaner, you first uninstall as best you can using the usual operating system tools.
    If you're still stuck with a non-functioning or mal-functioning product, the Cleaner will clean up whatever files or file fragments or corrupt database entries remain.
    Cleaning using the Cleaner tool can seem like uninstalling but it's not. It's just that if traditional uninstalling has not been done as a first step then the Cleaner will include those file in its cleanup process. You can be confident that, once the Cleaner has finished, your drive is 100% free of all traces of the Adobe product that you chose to cleanup. You can then reinstall from Ground Zero.

  • How to revert to a previous version of any Creative Cloud application

    All those users who have burned their fingers by the latest update to Illustrator 17.1, especially with respect to how the Reshape functionality works or how the Pencil tool behaves, there is a solution. After some digging around, I came across this page: http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2014/01/29/revert-to-a-previous-version-of-premiere-pr o-cc-or-any-creative-cloud-application/
    In short, follow these steps:
    1) Uninstall the application from your computer using the application’s uninstaller. If you are not aware of their location, uninstallers reside in the same folder as your application.
    2) From the Creative Cloud desktop application, begin to install any Creative Cloud application by clicking the “Install” button.
    3) As soon as the application indicates it is “Updating”, click the “X” to cancel the process.
    4) This leaves applications at the same version when Creative Cloud was first launched.
    5) Go to the product updates site http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html and then install the version of the application that suits your needs.
    Let's get back to our jobs with 17.0 for now till the time Adobe fixes the mess they created with some thoughtful update in the future!

    I agree that the ability to move path segments freely, being able to apply Live corners to objects & on a per-corner basis (unlike the Round Corner effect) and being able to draw a straight line with the Pencil Tool (like Freehand) were always on the top of everyone's wish list for a very long time. No one is questioning that for sure. But the way it was implemented, detrimentally affecting (if I may say so) the way users would really like to work is something the griping is about. As rcraighead said, they have come at the expense of the working features.
    Take the Reshape functionality. Photoshop introduced the "Constrain Path Dragging" functionality in CS6 whereby if this option is turned off - that is, path dragging is unconstrained, you get the same functionality as we presently see with the Reshape functionality in Illustrator 17.1 but if it is turned on, you get the same functionality as we were used to all along in Illustrator prior to 17.1. At least they gave the choice. But Illustrator simply abandoned the constrain path dragging functionality with the new Reshape feature in 17.1.
    About the Live Corners functionality - how often does one need to apply corners to their artwork? Is it always, 100% of the time? You'd agree, No, not always. Maybe 5% (or is it 20%?). But the corner widgets are always shown when the Direct selection tool is selected. Already some users have asked 'how to hide the widget' and you've graciously answered. The point I'm making is if applying corners is not something which one does always or very rarely, why show those widgets always, by default? Obviously some smart-aleck will jump in to ridicule me & say 'hide it if you don't want to see it, it's just a click away, you fool.' or discoverability could be cited as one of the reasons but that's not the point. The other day I was doing some freeform drawing with the Pencil Tool & obviously did not need corners on those paths but on selecting the ds tool, all those widgets showed up and it was not a pretty sight.

  • Creative Cloud application stay empty

    My Creative Cloud application is empty
    I have try the solution to delete files into C:\Users\Utilisateur\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    I Works !
    BUT... I don't know why, a few days/weeks later, I want to open my Creative Cloud Application again, and it's empty again... and all my fonts are unavailable under PS for exemple...
    Please... is there a solution ? 4 Times in less than 4 months it's frustrating !
    I'm with Windows 7 Premium Family Edition...
    Thank you !

    So...
    For the solution number 2... remove the opm.db file i do that every 3 days approximately. I always lost all my Typekit fonts in all my CC applications because CC unplugged or I don't know what ! So I go to delete this opm.db file, but it doesn't want because it tell me that Creative Cloud is open... so I have to CTRL ALT DEL, stop the CC application, remove the opm.db file and reconnect from CC application... sooooooo frustrated and I pay more than 50 $ per month for that !
    I've just tried to uninstall Creative Cloud from my Control Panel, but nothing happens (I've done that a few weeks ago  and it was ok but not this time, I don't know why it jam !) I restarted my computer and try again... but same thing... now it doesn't want to uninstall CC...
    Now I've just used CC Cleaner tool to uninstall/clean the Adobe Creative Cloud application... and it seems to work...
    BUT... When i go on the CC Website i don't find the Creative Cloud Application to download it !
    It was so easy at the beginning of Creative Cloud... but now I've got so much problems...

  • Reinstall a creative cloud application?

    Hi all,
    I had some trouble connecting my adobe account and my typekit account. Recently, I got it all sorted out, and wanted to reinstall photoshop cs6 from creative cloud. However, whenever I opened up the client (I'm on Mac OS X), I didn't see a way to uninstall photoshop.
    So, I just deleted it from /Applications, thinking maybe the client programmatically looked there to see what was installed ,etc. That unfortunately didn't fix my problem, and I still need to download photoshop.
    Any ideas how to reinstall it from creative cloud? I haven't been able to find a way to do so.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    That doesn't help with reinstalling which is what @conner actually asked.
    How do you reinstall a Creative Cloud application?
    The Application Manager doesn't give the option, so do you just download a new copy from the Adobe site and install?
    Thanks.
    Edit: Just tried to download the demo version of Acrobat X, but there's no Mac version.
    Is there a Mac OS trial version of Acrobat X?No, a trial version of Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS is not available at this time.

  • Deinstalling Creative Cloud applications before upgrading Mac OSX?

    Hello, I believe that I need to deinstall my Creative Cloud applications before upgrading my Mac OSX, but my question is whether I need to deinstall each application separately, or if simply deinstalling the Creative Cloud under Adobe Installers would handle everything. And then I need to reinstall each application separately?
    Thank you
    Chris

    Hi chris2500,
    First thing that you need to do is deactivate your software from the machine. In order to do so you have to launch any CC application/ go to help and select sign out. For uninstalling the software you will have to uninstall all the apps seperately.
    For installing the apps download CC desktop and start downloading. The download will proceed in a sequence.
    Regards,
    Romit Sinha

  • Adobe Creative Cloud applications

    Has anyone else had trouble with downloading the Adobe Creative Cloud applications? I got everything I needed onto my iMac with no problem; now I want to get the programs onto my MacBook Pro, but I can't sign in with my ID on Adobe's website from my MacBook -- it says:
    "The Adobe ID and/or password provided does not appear to be valid. Please try again."
    I checked my ID and password countless times; I'm entering it in correctly.
    Argh! Things of this nature NEVER go smoothly for me.   Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!
    Wendy

    OMG... I feel like a dork. All I did was forget a period in my email address.
    Jeez... I think I need to go to bed and call it a day. *LOL*
    Anyways, thanks for looking guys!

  • The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this

    The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

    Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

  • Creative Cloud Application "Download Error"

    Hello,
    first of all, this is a Repost the orginal Discussion is here: Creative Cloud "Download Error" message
    I repost this, cause the solution which was given by one of your Staff Members did not help me..
    When I go to the App section on the creative cloud manager I get the message "Download Error. Please Contact Customer Support."
    Could somebody please help me fix this?
    I have tried restarting my computer, signing in and out of creative cloud, and clearing the cache.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    the creative cloud application gives me the same message, the problem is that it doesn't identify the number of the error, it only appears the message as the photo of Lukasm12649297.
    I also tried to reinstall the creative application and it didn't work.
    Could somebody please help me fix this?
    Thanks

  • Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application

    Or it could be patially related to typical pains when a company makes an enormous transition like this. Ironcially, just as i said in my post, my issue resolved the next day.
    Listen, I undertstand the concern and certainly the frustration. I spend nothing short of 14 hours per day with Adobe apps open. primarily After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. I know the hassle and I know the frustration of constantly having to sign back in, which i did for a bit too. But it's just a little melodramatic when people make idle threats they aren't going to follow through with anyway, about using a product that does what this does, and is such an enormous productivity tool that people say silly things. that's what I'm referring to. If you're going to choose an entire platform different than Adobe becuase theyr'e having issues on a brand new method of service and delivery you're an idiot anyway. Wouldn't you agree that the statements of ' i don't have time to test something' are a litle ridiculous? name any product, or purchase in any part of your life that has never failed at anything? and then saying thigns like it's suddenly an unstable environment, when the problem they're complaining about (and the complaint of course it legitimate) has absolutely nothing to do with the stability of the product?
    it's the overblown, silly statements that make people look foolish, do nothing to help the issue, and offer nothing that crack me up. When I read someone saying things like that i pretty much ignore anything else they say because reason isn't something they are using at that point anyway.
    See what you said? that has nothing to do with anyone I'm talking about. You made a valid point, didn't make silly comments like what I'm referring to. you said something I don't agree with, but you dind't go overboard and get all dramatic about it. I don't agree that it's an ongoing degredation of their rep. there is nobody even remotely close a valid competitor out there for this in the first place (depending on what software yoiu're referring to, but since we're in the CC forum i assume that's what you mean). The fact is, their reputation is so strong, no other software company can even compete. But even so I still see progress and innovation. Intel had a cushion with no competitor at one point, then AMD came in, and if you notice, within a couple years of AMD getting very popular, Intel started releasing their upgraded technology in less than a third of the time. But I don't think I see that laziness from Adobe. I don't honestly know that the reason is they moved to a subscription based environment but I know that almost all big software companies are at leasdt considering it. heck Microsoft was talking about changing their licensing and doing it the same way. And it's not for greed I'd guess, it's to comabt theft. At least that's my guess, i have no idea, but i don't believethat it's done and they would change their entire business model for a reason lefss important.
    While we're on that topic I'd like to point out i bet this new process makes an enormous dent in the piracy, at least short term, so for me I applaud it. because when so many people steal the software, it means people like me, and i assume you, pay much higher prices for our legit licenses. So anything that can be done to thwart that has my full approval. But it also just happens to have some nice benefits, in that the pricing is pretty ridiculously low IMO for the entire suite of apps for 50 bucks per month. let' be honest, anyone using them for business which is primarily what this softwre is geared to, understands that while it might seem high, it's tiny compared to the montly cost of doing business, to keep an up to date, suite full of apps that would cost thousands were it not for the subscription. I'll admit, I bought the full suite on the montly just because it made sense. And it actually paid off. Recently I had a client that desperately needed ihs forms migrated to interactive. they were word docs, excel and plain pdfs, but because I happen to have a license for Acrobat, i was able to import those into pdf files and convert them to interactive forms. Then recommend he use the online service to manage them, and frankly it paid for 6 months of licensing for 10 hours work. were it not for the subscription based licensing i'd not have even been able to offer the service because I wouldn't have paid for acrobat.
    Complaining about a piece of software you buy that doesn't work in an area, regardless of where it is, makes perfect sense. But the statements I'm referring to equate to someone buying a house, finding out the key doesn't work, or the doorknob is broke, throwing their hands up and saying 'i'm finding anohter house'. it's silly, and everyone knows there's no merit to it. But i get frustrated seeing it over and over, frewquently by people that hven't even paid for the software. Sometimes I post thing I shouldn't but hey, don't we all?
    I like to browse these forums becuse I'd say i've learned as much of my knowledge by reading tricks, tips and resolutions posted in forums as I did through my classes and education. That's possibly an overstatement but not by much. I do get just as frustrated at the people constantly trying to belitte the company as they do with their issues.
