Troubleshoot Adobe Application Manager problems or failures
If AAM doesn't launch (that is, nothing happens when you start Adobe Application Manager), see Troubleshoot launch issues or problems — Adobe Creative Suite 5 and CS5.5 products (cpsid_83223).
If you are prompted for proxy server information on launch, enter the requested information. For assistance, contact your system administrator.
- Verify that you have an Internet connection. If you have any firewall software, temporarily disable it or allow Adobe Application Manager access to the Internet.
If your computer is behind an authenticating proxy server, and your user name or password have multi-byte characters (Japanese, Chinese, and so on) then the updater is unable to connect to the network. Connect without the proxy or connect with credentials that are in ASCII characters.
Verify that the update has not already been applied: Launch the Creative Suite product and choose Help > [Product Name].
If AAM freezes when you apply an update, download and install the update manually. If you're trying to apply multiple updates, download and apply them individually. See Manually update Creative Suite 5 or CS5.5.
