What is "Test" in Adobe Application Manager?

Today, I launched Adobe Application Manager, because seeing how Dreamweaver was crashing, I thought there were updates. Well, it asked me for my Adobe ID, which it hadn't before, then there was a list of every Adobe CS application of mine, and a Test option on them. Well, I thought, "it's going to check for updates", so I clicked them all. Some had a Test option, while others had an Install option.
Photoshop started to download, but it was really long. Over half an hour. As the next app started downloading, I cancelled everything, thinking "is it redownloading every single program that I have?" and pressed the "Launch"(or is it "Run"? Sorry, my installation is in French, and I'm not sure what it is in English) option that had replaced the Test one on Photoshop. And it... launched Photoshop.
So I'm wondering... What the heck did it just do? Was it unable to determine whether I had those programs installed and thus decided to re-install everything over again, or what?

It shouldn't prevent you from seeing updates.  You can launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager by going to Help>Updates in an application like Photoshop or Dreamweaver.  You can then see which updates it is looking for under the preferences section.  Please see below for screenshots of what I am referring too.

  • What's up with Adobe Application Manager CS6?

    If I select within Pr (CS6): Help > Updates...
    here is the resulting update check (as expected):
    But...
    if I directly run Application Manager either from the Start Menu shortcut,
    or by running the executable file (PDapp.exe) in this location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\
    Here is the message I get:
    (Not logged in with my Adobe ID.)
    'Sup with that?
    notes:
    This is the first time I have tried to run AAM since this series of events
    on 7/6 (I was logged in with my Adobe ID at the time)
    The steps I took on 7/6:
    - Ran Adobe Application Manager from the Start Menu shortcut.
    - Normal AAM interface appeared (as pictured in first image above).
    - Once connected, the AAM interface immediately disappeared,
    and a small progress bar appeared stating:
    "Updating Adobe Application Manager".
    (No screen shot available)
    - At about 50-75% completion of the progress bar, an icon appeared
    on my desktop called: "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    - At about 95% completion of the progress bar, the update stalled.
    - I killed the stalled AAM update in the Task Manager, then rebooted.
    After reboot, these processes had been added to startup:
    - Creative Cloud.exe
    - Adobe CEF Helper.exe
    I killed these two unwanted processes in the Task Manager,
    then uninstalled "Creative Cloud.exe" using:
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
    After reboot, the two unwanted processes
    were no longer present in the Task Manager.
    Now that I am logged in with my Adobe ID, I am going to run
    AAM again from the Start Menu shortcut and see what happens.
    UPDATE EDIT:
    I am now logged in and I have just tried again
    to run AAM from the Start Menu shortcut.

    And going over curvy roads with my wife driving? No way. As long as I am driving I am OK. With someone else, anyone else, not so much.
    On those, I usually get to drive. Last time that we came over from Temecula to Palm Desert, through Anza, I tightened up the suspension, put the anti-slip on full, and lit the fires in her AMG. Out of Anza, there were headlamps behind us, but they disappeared instantly. We had some slush on the road, but the big MB hung in there nicely. When we got down, it took almost 45 mins. for the next car to approach. We were already into our second course, and third glass of wine.
    It was kinda' like the last time that I did The Road to Hana, http://www.frommers.com/destinations/maui/0015020319.html. Some locals had written into the Maui paper, about "tourists" hanging up traffic. Well, I did that road in 53 mins., from the Hana cutoff (Paia near Mama's Fish House) to Hana, and not one local stayed in my rearview mirror, for more than a minute, after I passed each one, plus a few dozen "tourists." Now, on the way back, I did stop to see the streams, that we crossed at about 50 mph, just to see what we missed. I am sure that the locals then wrote in about the "crazed tourists," who drifted through each of the 189 curves, and over the 82 bridges. They should not have thrown down the gauntlet. If I had had the AMG, I think that I could have done that trip in less than 45 mins.. If I had had the XKE, I would think that about 35 mins. would be doable, depending on construction.
    To this day, my S-I-L will ONLY ride the High Country, if I am driving. Unlike my loving wife, she trusts me with every move.
    Now, if I had Mitchell's TT, who knows how quickly I could do The Road to Hana, and especially if the "locals" threw down the gauntlet? Of course, his sticky tires, and brake pads would need replacing, but hey, that is life "in the fast lane." I'd love to have that road closed, with a Porche 939 Turbo, and racing rubber.

    PS - sorry about the sickness. I had one bad bout, but think that it was due to bad fish. My father almost did not let me live that one down, but it was a "one-n-only" situation, and I was about 13. Yeah, bad fish for lunch.

  • What is wrong with Adobe Application Manager?

    I didn't know where to post this since I'm unsure what category this belongs in. I noticed yesterday the Adobe Application Manager removed my purchased Photoshop CS6 from the list and added Adobe Acrobat XI which I recently purchased only the latter is showing up as "Try" instead of "Up to date".
    Also items that were showing as up to date were not. I ran the update within Photoshop and it found a few items that needed updating. See the attached image.

    Separately purchased apps do not necessarily show up as up to date in AAM if they are not part of a subscription/ CC. They may once they have been updated through AAM. It's a bit messy. For your Photoshop to reappear in the list you would have to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and let AAM reinstall, but since it seems to work for now, I wouldn't worry.

  • Re: Adobe Application Manager Freezing

    I am the Admin for the account.  I am using 10.6.8. the updater seemingly installs the update, but Application manager freezes once the update is complete.

    Branched this out to a new discussion as the previous discussion was specifically regarding a standard user account.  What version of the Adobe Application Manager are you using?  You can find it at Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core.

  • 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?

  • What's the point of Adobe Application Manager?!

    Why is Adobe Application Manager telling me I have Lightroom 4.3 and it's up to date but when I launch it it's version 4.1 and the application tells me there is an update? This then sends me to a clunky, manual download link in my browser.
    AAM Also tells me that Muse is up to date and again when I launch the app it tells me there is an update.
    And although I already have Edge Animate and Flash Builder installed AAM has an install button next to them as if they aren't already installed.
    What exactly is the purpose of the update function in AAM or indeed AAM itself? Because at the moment it doesn't really seem fit for purpose.
    Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hey Steve,
    It should list and install Lightroom 4.3 in AAM for paying Creative Cloud members
    If it doesn't you might need to update your version of AAM
    Macintosh: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
    Please try installing that version and see if it helps.
    Was this the document you followed for uninstalling?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/manually-remove-lightroom.html
    This document probably needs to be updated to say that there is actually an uninstaller when Lightroom is installed through AAM for Creative Cloud customers. The uninstaller should be located at
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers
    Could you test running the uninstaller (if you see one) and then installing again through AAM?
    Let me know how it goes,
    -Dave

    Do I need adobe application manager? and what does it do? can i uninstall it on Mac OS X Mavericks?

    The application manager provides activation and online features, so no, unisntalling is not an option or else your Adobe software would go defunct.

  • Upgrading Adobe Application Manager gives error A12E1 - now what?

    Just wanted to install Flash. But Application Manager first needed upgrading and it stalls on an error like "seems to be a problem with installation (error code A12E1)". What do I have to do now? I got a similar error code 5 weeks ago, and to remove the Application Manage I had to remove ALL Adobe apps first! I really hope there is another way of fixing this.

    Download the latest version of AAM here and install it:
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh

  • Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

    In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
    I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi Richei Creative,
    These would be my suggestions:
    Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
    Instructions if you need them  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
    Hope these help,
    -Dave

  • When the Adobe Application Manager will open the following message: Download error. What should I do

    When the Adobe Application Manager will open the following message: Download error. What should I do

    is the error some gibberish like : UW44PKU  or some code similar to that?
    i think the code is        U44M1P7.
    if this is what happens i think i know what to do, that is if you already have PSCS6 (permanent license) version on you risk before you joined cc.
