Adobe Connect Add-in Download Mac

Adobe plans to start upgrading Connect 9 hosted customers to the Adobe Connect 9 Update 3 (9.0.3) in March 2013.

This countdown timer lets participants know how exactly much time remains before your meeting will begin or resume. Meeting hosts can change text and customize the Pod. The timer is synchronized so participants all see the same time remaining in minutes, while the host of the meeting sees the time. The new Mac Add-in is backwards compatible, so you can download and install it before 9.0.3 upgrade. The version of the new Mac Add-in is 11.2.256.0. Click here to download the Mac Add-in. Save the file when prompted; by default, it's saved in the Downloads folder. Open the Downloads folder and open acaddinmac256.z to extract the package.

This update requires a new Adobe Connect Mac Add-in for functionality specific to meeting hosts and presenters on Mac. You will be asked to install the new Mac Add-in in the following circumstances:

• You try to start or join 9.0.3 meeting for first time on Mac and have older version of the Add-in installed.
• You start screen sharing or application sharing on Mac, and don’t have the latest version of the Add-in installed.

The new Mac Add-in fixes the following bugs:

• 3353821: Mac Add-in crashes when sharing PowerPoint document in application sharing
• 3473899: Screen share dialog not displayed on Mac Swedish, Czech and Polish systems

The new Mac Add-in is backwards compatible, so you can download and install it before 9.0.3 upgrade. The version of the new Mac Add-in is 11.2.256.0

To attend an Adobe Connect session, you can use the Adobe Connect application for desktop for Adobe Connect 9 and later. The IT departments can deploy these clients for Hosts, Presenters, and participants across their organizations using silent installation method.

See Adobe Connect application for desktop article to know more about the application.

Install application on desktop (for individuals)

Install the Adobe Connect application (and other updates) from the Downloads and Updates page. The Adobe Connect application works only for Connect 9 and later versions.

Installation of the Adobe Connect application does not require administrative privileges. The stand-alone installer installs the application inside a custom directory structure as opposed to the system directory structure. Your Adobe Connect account administrator can make it mandatory to install the Adobe Connect application to join a meeting, a training, or a webinar.

Note:

Close all the running instances of the application before installing a newer version.

During the installation process, you can choose to create Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts for the Adobe Connect application. This feature is supported in Windows only.

Deploy application for desktop using MSI (for administrators)

The IT administrators can use Microsoft SCCM to deploy the application using MSI across all machines in their organizations.

The MSI installer is available on the Downloads and Updates page. The installer supports /l option for logging. For more information, see command-line options at MSDN.

Note:

If you are an individual user, directly download the relevant application installer from the Downloads and Updates page. Do not use the MSI installer.

During the MSI installation process, the start menu shortcut is created automatically. However, to configure a shortcut for desktop, the config.ini file can be created by following the below steps:

How To Download Adobe Connect

1. Open a text editor, like Notepad.
2. Add the shortcut config settings to your file.
3. Save the file as config.ini.

1. Place the config.ini file along with the MSI installer file.
   
2. Run the MSI application silently from cmd as Admin.

After a successful installation, verify that the shortcut is being created as per the config.ini file.

The following table lists the command-line switches for the installation of MSI installer:

By default, Adobe Connect application is set to automatically download and install any updates that are released by Adobe. This section contains instructions for turning off or disabling the automatic check for updates in two ways.

You can set a registry entry that will disable updates. To apply via the registry do the following:

• Open Start.
  
• Search for “Regedit”.
• Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAdobeConnect
• Add a registry entry called 'preventUpdateCheck' DWORD with non-zero value.
• Close 'Regedit'.

Note:

To change the default settings, changes must be made under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to allow only Administrators to enforce this option.

• Add a file named “restrictedUpdates.txt” to %appdata%AdobeConnect folder.

Silently install Adobe Connect 8 add-in using command line (for administrators)

Adobe Connect versions earlier than version 9.0 continue to work using the old add-in. The IT administrators can deploy the old add-in across multiple machines in their organizations using a silent, command-line installation method.

Adobe Connect Download For Mac

Download the add-in archive from the Adobe Connect Downloads and Updates page and extract the Setup.exe file on your system.

On the command prompt, navigate to the Setup.exe file.


Execute the setup.exe with one of the following command line parameter.

• /SP: Disables the 'This will install….. Do you wish to Continue?' prompt at the beginning
  of the setup and continue with the setup Wizard directly.
• /SILENT: Displays the progress bar indicating the installation progress only to the user.
• /VERYSILENT: Displays neither the installation wizard nor the progress bar. It installs the add-in silently.
