Guidance for IT administrators | Adobe certificate revocation

On October 4, 2012, the digital security certificate for certain Adobe products will be revoked. IT admins who manage Adobe products on the Windows platform need to install product updates to minimize impact to their users.

For a list of affected products and the required certificate updates, see Security certificate updates.

Note: Adobe recommends that you always distribute the most recent updates after you test them in your environment. If you package Suite-based applications, be sure to use the updated AAMEE 3.1.

For any products that are part of an IT-managed image, the affected Adobe components of the image need to be updated. Specific guidance is provided in the following sections.

For more information, read the FAQ.

An updated version of the Windows version of Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE) 3.1 with a new digital security certificate is available: Download the update

Note: Any AAMEE 2.x or 3.1 beta- or AAMEE 3.1 release-produced MSI package that contains Adobe updates needs to be removed from the system or server. The update certificates may have been revoked and direct verification of the certificate isn't possible from within the MSI package.

If you store updates on a locally-housed Adobe Update Sever, be sure to replace them with updated versions so that they have the new digital security certificates.

If you distriubte the RUM client on Windows systems within your organization, replace it with the updated version. The RUM update is also available as part of the AAMEE 3.1 installer. Download the update

You can find updates for desktop products in Security certificate updates, or download and install the Adobe Customer Response Tool for Windows (command line version for enterprise). The tool determines which products have updated certificates. (Not available for Creative Cloud.) You can also find updates on the Licensing Website (LWS).

See Security certificate updates to get the Flash Player update.

If you store a Reader installer on a server or as part of a modular imaging system, update it with the distributable version, or download the latest version.

If you installed Flash Media Server 4.5.3 before July 10, 2012, then you don't need to do anything. For installations after July 10, 2012, you need to update to Flash Media Server 4.5.4.

Adobe recommends that all ColdFusion users install the patch—not just users who installed updates after July 10, 2012. You can install the update from the Licensing Website (LWS), or from the downloads section on Adobe.com.

For products not listed here, you don't need to do anything.
