Configure an internal update server for packages

Last updated on Aug 3, 2026

Set up an internal update server and configure fallback to Adobe servers when your internal update server is unavailable.

Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) lets you host Creative Cloud updates on your own on-premises server. Client computers configured to use an internal update server receive updates from that server. If the server becomes unavailable, configure the bypass preference to allow updates from Adobe servers.

Note

The fallback preference applies to the packages created through the Admin Console. Remote Update Manager doesn't support this fallback mechanism.
