  1. It can be done via the Adobe Exchange portal, search for "Digizuite Creative Cloud Connector"

    2. Anastasiy’s Extension Manager - https://install.anastasiy.com/
    3. ZXP Installer (Note - this only install plugins and cannot remove, so this is the last option)
  3. By using Adobe's command line tool: (download using Firefox. Chrome seems to distrust it) (UPDATE: This is a user friendly alternative https://zxpinstaller.com/) (UPDATE2: If you have trouble uninstalling with ExManCmd.exe /remove "com.digizuite.creative-cloud", use https://install.anastasiy.com/)
    1. Unzip the folder
    2. Open the CMD (doesn't have to be "as admin")
    3. Change directory (CD) to the root of the folder you unzipped: cd "C:\Users\{your user}\Downloads\ExManCmd_win"
    4. (Optional) You may check which programs are already installed: ExManCmd.exe /list all
    5. Get the address of the CCC .zxp file
    6. Install the connector using the following command where the path in the citation marks point to the zxp file: ExManCmd.exe /install "C:\Users\{your user}\Downloads\digizuite-adobe-connector.zxp"
    7. (Optional) Run the following command, to see whether the zxp file was installed: ExManCmd.exe /list all
    8. If you have trouble uninstalling with ExManCmd.exe /remove "com.digizuite.creative-cloud", use a 3rd party extension manager listed above.

Info
titleWindows only

If you place the files in both the Program Files AND the Program Files (x86) - you will very likely encounter issues.

Only place the files in Program Files.

Selection of config manager version

This new version of the connector uses the Media Manager 5's (MM5) Config Manager, as opposed to previously, where the Creative Cloud Connector (CCC) had its own version in the Config Manager.

...

If you choose option 2, please follow the installation steps below:

Installing of a proxy website

Step 1: Preparation

To install a proxy website please perform the following steps:

  1. Copy the provided zip file "digizuite-adobe-connector-website.5.x.x-xxxx.zip" onto your server and unzip it into a new folder.
  2. Copy the unzipped folder into the "Webs" folder (usually located on C:\webs)
  3. Rename the folder URL you wish for your CCC to be accessible through.

Step 2: Creating a Config Manager version solely for CCC to use 

This step is the whole "meat and potatoes" of this guide. Here you create what the the CCC points to. In other words, the other steps are there to allow the CCC plugin to point to the Config Manager version you create here.

...

In here - locate the ID of the Config Manager version by pressing the Menu button → Version information (found next to the Create new version button):

You'll be seeing something akin to the following image:

...

Note down the Version id - in this case, it's "/1/1/". This will be used in the following step.

Step 3: CCC website configuration

The proxy website needs to point to the new version you created. Additionally, it requires some info to be set, in order to fully function.

...

Please note: The fields "WowzaServer", "EnabledFeatures" and "InstrumentationKey" are not relevant for the CCC and can be disregarded.

Step 4: Creation of a New IIS Website

Open the IIS


Unfold the menu under the server name and right-click the web server and select "Add website...".

...

A new prompt will appear.

Input the following:

  1. Site name: Input the URL
  2. Physical path: Input the path to the folder in webs. Either click "..." or simply paste in the path yourself.
  3. Host name: Input the URL
  4. Type: Change type to "https".
  5. Require Server Name Indication: Check off the box
  6. SSL certificate: Select a SSL certificate that is usable for the URL you've chosen.
  7. Click "OK".
