To efficiently deploy Adobe Creative Cloud applications across multiple computers for teams or enterprises, you typically create a customized installation package using Adobe's tools. The provided reference details the process using the Creative Cloud Packager tool for Creative Cloud for teams.
Creating a deployment package allows administrators to pre-configure installations, include specific apps, and deploy them silently without user interaction.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on the provided reference:
Steps to Create an Adobe Creative Cloud Package
The process involves using the Creative Cloud Packager application, which is accessed and managed through the Adobe Admin Console.
1. Log in to the Admin Console
Access the Adobe Admin Console using your administrator credentials. This is the central hub for managing your Adobe licenses, users, and deployment packages.
2. Download Creative Cloud Packager
Within the Admin Console, locate and download the Creative Cloud Packager tool. This application is essential for configuring and building your custom installation package.
3. Install Creative Cloud Packager
Once downloaded, install the Creative Cloud Packager application on your local machine. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4. Select Creative Cloud for teams
Launch the installed Creative Cloud Packager. You will be prompted to select the type of package you want to create. Choose the option relevant to your subscription, such as Creative Cloud for teams.
5. Create a package
Within the Creative Cloud Packager, select the option to Create a Package. This initiates the workflow for defining the contents and settings of your deployment package.
6. Add package details
Provide essential details for your package. This typically includes:
- A name for the package (e.g., "Design Apps Package Q3 2022").
- Specifying the license type (e.g., Named User Licensing).
- Other configuration options relevant to your deployment needs.
7. Specify a language
Select the language(s) for the applications included in the package. This ensures that the installed software matches the language requirements of your users. You may be able to include multiple languages depending on the options available.
8. Select apps to include
Choose the specific Adobe Creative Cloud applications you want to include in this deployment package. You can select individual apps or a suite of applications. The packager will then prepare to download the installers for the selected apps.
- Example: You might create one package with Photoshop and Illustrator for designers and another with Premiere Pro and After Effects for video editors.
After completing these steps, the Creative Cloud Packager will download the necessary application installers and components and bundle them into a single, deployable package file (often an MSI or PKG). This package can then be distributed and installed on client machines silently or through standard deployment tools.
This packaged installer simplifies bulk deployment compared to installing each application individually on every machine.
