I have topaz and all the other ones you can see listed. ALL worked perfectly.
Mine didn't. Only Topaz. And therein lies the problem: sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Which is why Adobe says not to do it, to contact the manufacturer of the plug-in for appropriate instructions. Of course, people like you and me have to try it just to see........

I agree. I just upgraded to the latest cc and now I can't find my perfect suites, nik software, topaz filters etc. This is a pain in the neck and I am reluctant to upgrade again the next time it is offered. I am spending too much time adding my plug ins again. I wish Adobe would get with the program.
...all major updates (not the incremental kind like, 6.1 to 6.2) require that you reinstall your plugins and added software. I just had to do the same thing...yes, pain, but the more you do it, less trouble it becomes as time marches on...

Totally agree. Adobe management needs a good whipping.

Thanks to this forum, my "rant" has ended by learning that I'm not alone with the problems with CC and Adobe. The information I've read since joining the forum has really helped me understand better much of the problem with CC programs, and now I don't feel so isolated with my PS/LR short comings. Thanks.

You do realize just how many companies and plug-ins are out there in the world...........
Indeed I do, and each one is specifically coded to work in the PS plug on environment, so where is the problem in writing a bit of code to migrate them across? It would be a simple matter of telling the installer to find them in the folder of the earlier version and bring them into the plugin folder of the newer version, and write a few registry keys perhaps. They are just lazy.

They clearly do not strive for backward compatibility, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. That is probably why they do not automatically reinstall plugins--they change the environment and some might not work, so they leave it to plugin vendors and customers to sort it out.

But while Adobe is improving their product with new technology, so are the plug-in manufacturers. I think it would be extremely difficult for Adobe to keep up with all the third parties. Seems like they have enough on their own plate already.

Kind of like what one of the car manufacturers said many years ago about backward compatibility. At some point Ford has to quit supporting the 1909 Model T and let third parties sort it out.

Also launching the CC App I have no access to my apps. PS and LR both still work on my computer but I can't update or launch anything fron Cc App. It's a known issue, it's all over the web with remedy solutions.
I have a similar problem. Adobe cc has an update, when I try to update across comes the message "cannot upload" .after three times trying I have given up. CC2015 working fine as it is

Hmmmm...took me less than a minute to get my plug-ins into the latest version. Drag and drop or copy and paste.

UPDATE: Had a popup this morning that an update for CC2015 was ready to download and install to fix any issues with Windows 10. Update was quick and I encountered no problems with it.
