Aamporter does not "see" Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.1 (15.1) update

[MiqViq]

Cannot download Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.1 (15.1) update. Update feed file has the update marked with FEATURE-tag. Does aamporter ignore updates that are mrked as FEATURE?

[timsutton]

At one point before the "real" release of CC last year, there was some logic to handle FEATURE, but it later seemed (as per #5) that it's a question of "TargetLicensingType" of 1 in the metadata.

If you'd like to test, you can set skipTargetLicensingCC to False in this line:

https://github.com/timsutton/aamporter/blob/b5b0d950252645486c038f055631383c422a97c7/aamporter.py#L173

From my end, it looks like this pulls the downloads for at least these two channels I tried:

• AdobePhotoshopCC2014-15.0
• AdobeInCopyCC-9.0

What I'm more curious about is whether RUM would trigger updates for an older Photoshop CC 2014 CCP install (I'm guessing it would, if RUM is still supported with CC). Could you test that as well?

Changing that line to False did indeed cause aamporter to pull the Photoshop 15.1 update! I did not notice the InCopy update, though. I have not implemented RUM, so I am unable to test, however, if no one else is using it, I could look into setting it up for testing.

[timsutton]

RUM doesn't really require a setup. You just download it off their website and run the tool as root:

I'm mainly interested in:

• whether the updates that aamporter pulls for a given "product" would be the same as what are downloaded within CCP as updates or if you run RUM against an install with no updates
• whether these updates still actually install correctly via Munki

[hfike]

I'll setup a test VM that gets my all the CC 2014 apps but no additional updates (some updates were already packaged with CCP) and see what RUM comes up with.

[timsutton]

Just tested against two CS6 suites I support. With skipTargetLicensingCC set to True, it pulls in additional "Creative Cloud" updates for Photoshop CS6 and DreamWeaver CS6, which normally you would not deploy to clients installed via an AAMEE package. It also pulled in an Illustrator 16.2.1 update - currently Adobe's site lists a 16.2.2 "subscription" update, so this also looks like it was at least a part of the subscription they introduced before the major new CC apps were released.

Since updates for CS6 will go away at some point, it might be reasonable enough to simply special-case this behavior to be True for the few known CS6 channels that contain the updates, and otherwise be False.

[hfike]

I ran RUM in my test VM and it looks like it took care of all the updates the same as AAM did, as well as what the updates aamporter pulled in that munki installed. Anything specific you are looking for?

[timsutton]

I've finally changed this default behaviour here: 5791517f94743175595a33e93cb39b29f7ff95db

See if it now lists the correct updates for you?

Hi,

a quick run with this:

python /Volumes/Users/Shared/Adobe_Updates/CC_2014/aamporter.py -p /Volumes/Users/Shared/Adobe_Updates/CC_2014/AdobeCC_2014_Design_and_Web_air_trial.ccp.plist -p /Volumes/Users/Shared/Adobe_Updates/CC_2014/AdobeCC_2014_Master_air_trial.ccp.plist -p /Volumes/Users/Shared/Adobe_Updates/CC_2014/AdobeCC_2014_Standard_air_trial.ccp.plist

and these were downloaded:

AdobeInDesignCC2014-10.0-10.1.0.071.dmg AdobeSpeedGrade-8.0.0-Trial-8.1.0.dmg AdobePhotoshopCC2014-15.0-15.2.1.dmg AdobeIllustrator18-mul-18.1.0.430.2.dmg AdobeAfterEffects-13.0.0-Trial-13.1.1.dmg AdobeAudition-7.0.0-Trial-7.1.0.dmg AdobePremierePro-8.0.0-Trial-8.1.0.dmg AdobePrelude-3.0.0-Trial-3.1.0.dmg

(There were some fresh updates already in my aamporter cache from yesterdays run)

So thanks Tim, this seems to be working!

br,

Thanks for the quick update :smile: I'll close this.

Referencing #4 here, since @mosen dug up some more details about the possible meaning of other licensing types.

[hfike]

Looks good. I just compared against my run from early this morning (where I had modified aamporter.py to set skipTargetLicensingCC to False) and the outputs were exactly the same. Thanks!

[timsutton]

And sorry for taking so long for such a trivial change. But, we just got a CC account yesterday, so I'm finally motivated to keep better track of this stuff again.

[MiqViq]

No worries.

Good that you are finally up to date with Adobe CC products.
