Opening the Adobe Application Manager prompts the user to check for updates.
You have launched the Adobe Application Manager from one of the following locations:
- Help > Updates from within one of the CS6 products
- /Program Files(x86)/Common Files/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/PDApp.exe
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/Adobe Application Manager.app
You do not see the option to install the Creative Cloud applications.
Launch the Adobe Application Manager from the shortcut or alias.
Windows: Choose Start > All Programs > Adobe Application Manager.
Mac OS: Choose Applications > Adobe Application Manager.
The shortcut or alias inserts a switch when launching the Adobe Application Manager, which opens the Creative Cloud applet. If you launch the Adobe Application Manager directly, it checks for updates instead.
