Manage Packages

Applies to enterprise & teams.

Using the Admin Console, you can view, track, and delete packages.

Note:

Purge of old packages:

We will periodically purge Named User Licensing packages from the Adobe servers that were created 2 years ago or prior. The purge will take place on the 7th day of every calendar quarter. That is: 7th of January7th of April, 7th of July, and 7th of October.

This implies that in the Packages tab on the Admin Console, the list of packages created does not display the details of the packages that you created more than 2 years ago. 

You can view, track, and delete the packages created by you and your peer administrators for the same organization. You can also track version upgrades to the apps in a particular package, and plan to deploy those upgrades accordingly.

The Packages page in the Admin Console displays the list of the various packages relevant to your organization. It includes Adobe Templates that have been customized and user-created packages.

    If you have not created any package in the Admin Console, you are prompted to create a package or browse Adobe Templates.
