You need an Internet connection to download and update Adobe apps. Verify that you can connect to the Internet, and click Retry.
Software firewalls restrict access to your computer. Some software firewalls prompt you when a program attempts to access the Internet. Users have reported instances where software/hardware firewall settings caused download errors to occur.
- If prompted, select to allow the Adobe app to access the Internet.
- If you are not prompted, disable software firewalls temporarily to determine whether they are preventing Internet access. See your firewall software documentation for help.
Routers can have a built-in hardware firewall or proxy servers. To determine if a router is preventing the Adobe app from accessing the Internet:
- Temporarily remove the router from the network.
- Connect the computer directly to a DSL or cable modem. If the download proceeds, the router is preventing access.
- To set up a router to allow access for future downloads, see your router documentation for instructions on setting up port forwarding from the computer. Alternatively, contact your Internet service provider or IT department.
Many organizations use a hardware firewall and proxy server that can prevent software from accessing an outside server. A hardware solution applies to all computers within the corporate network. Most home networks do not use hardware firewall or proxy technology. Contact your company’s IT department to obtain firewall or proxy information. Configure your browser with proxy or firewall information.
Configure your corporate firewall to bypass the servers. The following servers are accessed:
- ccmdl.adobe.com:80
- swupmf.adobe.com:80
- swupdl.adobe.com:80
