Adobe Creative Cloud (macOS)

What this recipe does

Adobe Admin Console can build managed macOS installers for the Creative Cloud applications your organization licenses. Download the completed package, import it into FileWave as a PKG Fileset, and deploy it to the required Macs.

Adobe no longer develops Creative Cloud Packager. Use the package-creation workflow in Adobe Admin Console for current Creative Cloud applications.

Requirements

  • FileWave Central with permission to create and deploy Filesets
  • Adobe Admin Console access for your Creative Cloud enterprise organization
  • A representative macOS test device

Directions

  1. Accessing the Admin Console:
    • To initiate the deployment process, administrators must log in to the Adobe Admin Console using their authorized credentials. The admin console provides a range of management options, including user provisioning, license management, and application deployment.
  2. Navigate to PackagesAdobeConsolePackages.png
  3. Creating Deployment Packages
    • Choose the proper platform, next to the search product bar; select Mac for macOS deployment
    • Within the admin console, administrators can create customized deployment packages for Adobe Creative Cloud applications. These packages include specific software, settings, and configurations tailored to the organization's needs.
    • Select Packages to customize a managed installer, or Pre-generated packages to download a prebuilt installerCustomizedManagedDeployments.png
  4. Selecting Applications
    • The admin can choose which Adobe applications to include in the deployment package based on the roles and responsibilities of different users within the organization. This flexibility ensures that each user has access to the tools they require for their tasks.
  5. Distributing Deployment Packages
    • Once the deployment package is configured, administrators can distribute it to users or groups within the organization. Download the package from Adobe Admin Console, then import it in FileWave Central with New Desktop Fileset > Apple > PKG.
  6. Create a test Deployment for the PKG Fileset and assign a representative Mac
  7. Update Model and verify that the selected Creative Cloud applications install and launch
  8. Expand the Deployment after the package passes testing

Package settings
