Of course working in groups makes it really hard to go this way, but I tell my point of view about the Adobe Creative Suite to anybody I meet in the creative business - and currently my opinion about Adobe is far from good. One more thing: I for one did switch most of my processes to alternative apps (like Affinity) which start faster, operate faster and do not have -any- forced opt-ins on them. Thanks for passing it to the developers, though. This seems to be the spirit of the age, sadly. Of course I also assume that the CC apps are so deeply integrated into the functions you mentioned that it may not be possible at all to allow us opting-out of the CreativeCloud background apps. They may be power users who may very well understand the consequences of deactivating the Creative Cloud functions completely when they get a big bold warning when doing so. Without distractions, background daemons and forced extra functions. Unfortunately, if you mess up in the process you will have to start again by uninstalling the program using its uninstaller (in apps) and either trying again with a different version or repeating the process with the installer you downloaded.As much as I understand your points (being a developer myself): there are "oldschool" people who just want to work the way they used to work. You are running the programs with Rosetta.
You have correctly patched the programs, if not, Adobe Zii will not show "Completed" or it will say that it does not currently support the app version. If you are having this problem of the app not opening correctly make sure that:Ĭreative Cloud is running while you are downloading and installing the apps. You may have to try with different versions to see which one works for you of each program but one of the last three or four will always work. I have had some issues with certain Apps after installing them since they would open and close right away. Note that after first time you open it it will ask you if you want to make M1 native packages, click YES. Also the first steps will have changed since you will already go directly into the "enter SAP code".
You can use the Adobe Packager to download as many apps as you want, but every time you download a new one you must Patch it with Adobe Zii and choose run with Rosetta before opening. GO TO THE APP FOLDER, RIGHT-CLICK THE APP AND SHOW INFO, THEN CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS OPEN WITH ROSETTA.
Then download the latest Adobe Zii version, as I am writing I think the latest one, and the one that has worked for me is Adobe Zii 6.1.6.Ĭlick patch to find the software automatically or drag directly the app from its folder in the Applications folder. It will ask you where to download the installer, select the Apps folder.Īfter it is downloaded, an installer will appear on your apps with the software and version chosen.ĭouble click-it, and go through the installation as normal but do not run it.
You have to enter the SAP code for the software you want, then enter the version of the ones that show, and finally select the language. All you have to do is follow the instructions that show after that.
When you open the Adobe mand, it will install Python 3 but it does not take long. I HAVE FOUND OUT BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE NEXT STEP YOU MUST BE SIGNED IN TO AN ACCOUNT ON CC AND THE APP MUST BE RUNNING This will let you download current and previous versions of Adobe software without going into Creative Cloud. Then you are gonna go into the terminal and paste the following line: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )"Īfter doing so, an app will appear on your applications folder called Adobe mand Download and install Adobe Creative Cloud from Adobe and sign in to any account you want.
