Jamf Pro (formerly The Casper Suite) is an Enterprise Mobility Management for macOS and other devices. Jamf Pro streamlines software deployment and maintenance tasks for IT admins. For detailed information about Jamf Pro capabilities, refer to the Jamf Pro product page.

Before you begin

After you create a package on the Adobe Admin Console, it's downloaded to your computer. Upload your Adobe package file to the Jamf Pro distribution point. Learn more about distribution points in the Jamf Pro documentation.

The screen displays the Jamf Admin application with package details.
Use drag and drop functionality to add the package.
