pkg’s from the Adobe console directly instead of the “Adobe package downloader.app in a. Thanks to Carl Ashley, Patrick Fergus and especially and Michael Harnest found in the #adobe channel of the macadmins Slack! Another Adobe tip from Patrick Fergus (foigus) to create new “updated” packages for the current version of an Adobe product to speed up your update deployomentĬlick on an expired title, this will popup a banner in the right side to create an update package with the same items you’ve chosen before: Thank you “Dom Adobe” in the #adobe channel on macadmins Slack channel for the extra effort you put in to make things easier for Macadmins to deploy Adobe products. I’ve filed a feature request (E-000314316) and if you have the same workflow as me please file one too and reference this case-id. This (again) drastically influences my precious time to successfully deploy Adobe in our organisation and I will still run all those Adobe Download apps on a Catalina Mac. I filed an issue (case id: E-000313621) with Adobe enterprise and received a really quick reply: You should NEVER runall the Adobe Package Downloader.app’s at the same time on any kind of macOS. And I can run run them all at the same time on Big Sur. One has hardening enabled and the other one doesn’t. As a quick test I duplicated Firefox.app and Adapter.app. You can’t run multiple Adobe Downloaders at the same time anymore. I create those 19 Adobe separate Adobe package downloaders (19 times running thru the same menus in the Adobe console) and run them all at the same time on my laptop:

I’m also convinced more software developers (Autodesk?) will come with something similar Adobe offers with their Creative Cloud Desktop application. For us (art education) Adobe is the most important software most students and employees work with. I even heard some IT colleagues think it’s way too much work for them to create those 19 different Adobe packages. I do and I know what a tedious job this is. Update: Check the bonus tip further down this article!ĭo you package every Adobe app separately so you can offer your users a unified (own branded company/school) app-store with Munki or Jamf School experience?
