Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, California 95110, USA. Deploying Adobe Muse in the Enterprise
Adobe® Muse is now available as part of the Creative Cloud Team Ready® and Adobe Creative Cloud for Enterprise offerings. Adobe Muse can be deployed and licensed in a managed environment with a few simple, scriptable steps.
This document guides you through deploying Adobe Muse in a managed environment, where deployment occurs on many systems at once and individual employees often do not have administrative privileges on their system. Muse may also be deployed and serialized in an interactive mode when the person doing the installation has administrative privileges on the system or you do not need a scripted deployment to multiple seats at on time.
Because Muse is an Adobe® AIR® application, deploying Muse to a desktop requires a different approach than other Adobe Creative Suite or Adobe Creative Cloud products. These steps involve deploying Muse through the AIR platform's silent deployment utility and then separately applying a serial number to the Muse product. Get Adobe Muse from LWS To deploy and license Muse you'll need to first download the necessary installer and tools needed for deployment in a managed environment.
Sign in to LWS and go to page the where your Creative Cloud Team Ready builds are available for download. Download 1. The Adobe Muse AIR installer
- Only this version of the Adobe Muse AIR installer provides a version of Muse that supports serialized licensing. You must use this version of Adobe Muse with your Creative Cloud Team Ready offering.
2. The Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition
This command line tool is needed to apply a serial number to Muse after installation. Version 6.2 or later is needed.
3. Adobe Muse for Creative Cloud Team Ready serial number
You also must get your Adobe Muse for Creative Cloud Team Ready serial number from the serial number page within LWS. This serial number is specific to Adobe Muse for Creative Cloud Team Ready customers. With this serial number, Muse will activate just like other products within the Creative Cloud Team Ready offering.
Note: Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE) is downloaded as part of the AAMEE 3.1 build found on LWS. It is also available as a standalone tool at:

2 Deploying Adobe Muse in the Enterprise Install Muse interactively 3
Install Adobe Muse You can install Adobe Muse in the interactive install mode or through a scripted, silent install process.
NOTE: You will need administrative privileges on the system upon which you install Muse. Install Muse interactively To install Muse interactively, double-click the Muse AIR installer in the top-level folder of the package downloaded from LWS. Install Muse in a scripted workflow To install Muse in a scripted workflow, use the following command line to deploy the Muse install package.
NOTE: This is not the standard AIR package distribution executable or command line, as a special deployment package for this version of Muse was necessary.
Install on Apple Mac
Install.app --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="
Install on Microsoft Windows
Set-up.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="
On Apple Mac OS X
adobe_prtk --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=1234-5678-9012-3456-7890-1234 --leid=Muse-1.0-Mac-GM --provfilepath=/users/
On Microsoft Windows
adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=1234-5678-9012-3456-7890-1234 --leid=Muse-1.0-Win-GM --provfilepath=C:\Users\
adobe_prtk --tool=VolumeSerialize --stream --provfile=./users/
On Microsoft Windows
adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --stream --provfile=C:\Users\
At this point Muse will be ready to use on that computer. The product will still activate once upon launch, contacting Adobe activation servers to confirm the activation just like other Adobe Creative Cloud Team Ready and Adobe Creative Suite products. After the product serialization and activation is complete, the Adobe ID screen is displayed.
