Install Version Cue Server and Adobe Drive



Version Cue projects and their related assets are stored in the Version Cue Server. When the Version Cue Server is installed on your computer, the server is available only if your computer is turned on and if users in your group have connected to the server using Adobe Drive. This scenario is adequate for personal use or for file sharing between individuals.

Alternatively, you can install the Version Cue Server on a dedicated computer accessible to others on your network. The Version Cue-managed assets are always available to a workgroup when they connect using Adobe Drive.

Local or server-based file sharing: Version Cue can be set up to operate in a user- or server-based environment. In a user-based implementation, files and projects are shared from an individual’s own hard drive. In a server-based environment, the Version Cue Server resides on a separate, dedicated computer.

Install the Version Cue Server on your computer

When you perform a default installation of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design, Web, Production Premium, or Master Collection editions, Version Cue installs the Version Cue Server on your computer, but does not turn it on.

Version Cue Server or Adobe Drive may not be installed if you deselected either of these options while performing a custom install during setup of one of the Creative Suite editions. To install Version Cue, run a custom setup again, and select Version Cue Server and Adobe Drive to install them.

Install the Version Cue Server on a dedicated computer

 To install the Version Cue Server on a dedicated computer, run the Creative Suite 4 Design, Web, Production Premium, or Master Collection edition installer on the dedicated computer, following the on-screen prompts to install only the Version Cue Server.
