What CC Applications are still only 32-bit?

[jpt65]

Is there some way to determine whether a given Creative Cloud application is still only 32-bit?  I mean other than creating a 64-bit package and looking to see if it installs to Program Files or Program Files (x86)?  That's what I've been doing, but I've since discovered after re-packaging Photoshop and installing it on a test system, that it's now available as 64-bit application.  Can I get notified of changes like this?

Hi JPT,

Talking about Windows for all tools – and the universal Adobe CC installers contain both versions where applicable...

Available as either 64-bit or 32-bit applications:

Photoshop CC

Bridge CC

Illustrator CC

InDesign CC

InCopy CC

Lightroom 5

Available in 64-bit only:

Flash Pro CC

Premiere Pro CC

After Effects CC

Audition CC

Prelude CC

SpeedGrade CC

Available in 32-bit only:

Dreamweaver CC

Muse CC

Edge Animate CC

Edge Code CC

Edge Inspect CC

Edge Reflow CC

Acrobat XI Pro/Std

On Mac OS it's mostly the same, except Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom require a 64-bit system and don't offer a 32-bit option.

Hi jpt65,

Which desktop applications in Creative Cloud require 64-bit operating systems?

With the new CC apps, most of the pro video and audio applications now require 64-bit operating systems to run. These native 64-bit applications include Adobe Premiere® Pro CC, Adobe Audition® CC, After Effects® CC, Prelude® CC, and SpeedGrade® CC. Photoshop CC and Lightroom® also require 64-bit on Mac OS.

       Why is Adobe switching some of its applications to a native 64-bit architecture?

By optimizing code for 64-bit operating systems, Adobe is able to deliver the performance gains that creative professionals require. Most of Adobe's pro video applications now require a 64-bit operating system, but the majority of video professionals have already transitioned to 64-bit capable systems, such as Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or v10.8 (Mountain Lion), or 64-bit versions of Microsoft® Windows® 7 or Windows 8. Because 64-bit operating systems offer superior performance, current and future releases of most of the Adobe professional video and audio applications will not support 32-bit operating systems.
