The disadvantages of this wolf-in-sheep’s clothing packaging system are numerous, but this is the only option we have to deploy Adobe applications efficiently.
#ENTERPRISE DEPLOYMENT OF ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD FOR MAC INSTALL#
The advantage of having the installers in an installer package format is that they can be deployed using the multitude of tools which can install packages: the OS X GUI, the installer command, Remote Desktop, DeployStudio, and management platforms such as Munki. Because Adobe has reinvented the wheel and opted to use their own custom installer framework, the installer packages that CCP outputs do not use any of OS X’s native installer features - instead the packages simply provide just enough of a mechanism to bundle up Adobe’s own installer tooling (which have actually grown substantially in size in proportion to the actual applications they install) and run them as “preinstall” scripts. There is a single option available to you for getting the installers: you must use the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager application (CCP for short) to fetch and build OS X installer packages.
We spent the whole time dealing with the licensing aspects but never talked about the actual installers and updates. We previously covered a few aspects of Adobe Creative Cloud from the perspective of deploying it to OS X clients.
