Adobe CC Application Manager for Windows

Purpose

Rather than having every single massive Adobe package in SCCM/JAMF, we utilize this console that Adobe gives us so that users can install Adobe software without needing admin rights.

How to Launch the Adobe Application Manager on Windows

Once you've installed the Adobe Application Manager, you should be presented with an Adobe Creative Cloud sign-in window each time you login to your computer.
