Updates repeatedly applied

After applying an update, you are then prompted to reapply the same update again. This behavior can occur after a certain time period has occurred or after logging out and back in to the computer.

Solution 1: Sign out of Creative Cloud desktop application and sign in again

See http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html for more information.

Solution 2: Archive the AAMUpdater folder in the associated User account.

Mac OS

1. In the Finder, select the Go menu and choose Go to Folder.
2. Enter the following location: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater.
3. Select the 1.0 folder and rename it to ~1.0.

Windows 7 and 8

1. Go to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater.
2. Select the 1.0 folder and rename it to ~1.0.

The contents of these folders will be re-created the next time an update check is performed.  If the folder isn't re-created, then your file permissions for the AAMUpdater folder could need to adjustment.  See Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 for information on how to adjust file permissions.
