Issue

Anyone who has issues with the Adobe LANDesk packages in the Adobe CC folder can submit a ticket to support-systems@tufts.edu for assistance. Please include the following information in the ticket:

  • Exact name of the package you tried to install
  • The exact text of any error message
  • The name of the computer you tried to install the software on

Recommended Installation Method

...

There are 2 primary methods of deploying software through LANDesk. FSPs can choose to either make the applications available via the Landesk Portal Manager or they can choose to control deployment themselves.

LANDesk Portal Manager allows users to install applications themselves without administrator privileges. This enables users to easily install Adobe software that they might find helpful without burdening your FSPs with extra tickets.

You can target individual computers or sets of computers to ensure that your users have access to the software they would find most useful. For example, since Acrobat Pro is extremely popular across almost all departments, you may chose to make it available for users to install themselves on all faculty or staff computers. If an FSP has a department that does a lot of image manipulation, the FSP could make Photoshop, Fireworks, and/or Illustrator available to everyone in that department. Those users can them install it themselves, rather than have to open individual tickets.

In order to facilitate this, there is a package available in LANDesk called Adobe Common Software that includes Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Lightroom, Dreamweaver, and Premiere.
