Step-by-Step Help Needed for Deploying Some Adobe Software

$

We are a K-12 educational institution.  I am currently working at setting up a computer lab with about 16 MacMini computers.

I'm VERY new to the realm of servers, deployment, using terminal, etc.

I've done lots of research to make it to where I am, but just can't wrap my head around what needs done next with the Adobe products.

 

I am using Server OSX (v3) and DeployStudio (v 1.6.3) to try and manage the computers.

Both my server and clients are running Mavericks 10.9.

 

I deployed my core images successfully and would like to now send Adobe products only the computers I choose since I have limited licenses.

 

We have volume licenses of Adobe InDesign CS6 and Photoshop Elements 12 that we would like to deploy.

 

I have been referencing the following sites, but just can't seem to wrap my head around the EXACT steps that need to be taken.

For Adobe InDesign CS6 - I've done the following:

  • Created an "Installation Package" using Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE v6.2.112.0) using the following instructions.

  • If I log into the client computer, put the package ON the client computer, and run it...it takes me through the install and works wonderfully.
    • It's not automated like I wanted/thought I set it up to do. I have to click through the steps of the installer.
  • If I try to deploy it using the "Package install" Workflow in DeployStudio...it loads it during the workflow, then skips through it, acts like it installed it, but it isn't actually installed.
    • Is there a setting that I need to possibly change somewhere?

 

For Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - I'm a bit lost and mostly just have questions:

  • I know that I can't use AAMEE and need to use APTEE (Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition).
  • How do I deploy the software? Create my own Package using PackageMaker?
  • Which computer do I run APTEE on? All the instructions I can find just say, "do this" - but don't specify where.
    • Do I have to open terminal and run the commands on each client computer AFTER installing PE12?
      OR
    • Do I run the commands BEFORE deployment on my package stored on my server that is ready for deployment?
  • It really comes down to me just not 100% understanding how APTEE works.

 

I hope that pertrays my dilemma. I've tried to explain best I can.  If you have any questions - let me know!

Thanks in advance for any insight you can give!
