1. Pantone Color Manager Update
2. Pantone Color Manager Torrent

To all:I have read with interest the 'thread' here concerning the 336 newest PANTONE colors, and thought I would take the opportunity to set the record straight.The 336 newest PANTONE colors were introduced in April 2012, subsequent to launch of the PANTONE PLUS SERIES products in May 2010.While Adobe CS6 is the first version of the Adobe suite to provide native support for the PANTONE PLUS SERIES libraries, this does not include the 336 newest PANTONE colors from April 2012. These colors are supported within PANTONE Color Manager software.PANTONE Color Manager was conceived in 2010 as a vehicle through which customers of Pantone could keep their digital PANTONE libraries fully up-to-date. The software is distributed free of charge with purchase and registration of updated PANTONE color guides and books.

Each PANTONE publication has a unique serial number which when registered, becomes the activation key for a single-use activation of PANTONE Color Manager. Thus, Pantone does not charge any additional cost to a customer for the libraries, over and above the cost of the PANTONE publications themselves. Customers who choose not to purchase updated books, or who may need additional licenses over and above the quantity of books that they own, can purchase PANTONE Color Manager for $49.00 per additional user licenseThe current release of PANTONE Color Manager, version 2.1, contains support for the 336 newest PANTONE colors in separate libraries, and allows users to export these for Adobe CS6 and earlier versions.

Pantone Color Manager Update

Customers who have PANTONE Color Manager installed but are missing the 336 newest colors, can either auto-update the software, or log into their myPANTONE account and download the latest installer free of charge. Running the latest installer over the current installation will update the software to the latest release.For detailed information pertaining to your personal situation, you may contact Pantone directly via e-mail to.I hope that the community at large will find this information helpful.Best regards,John StanzioneManager - Technical SupportPantone, LLC. Apparently, Pantones answer to almost everything is Pantone Color Manager software = 49 $I have found no available download that adresses this particular issue.Also tried delicious 500 internal server error message. Swell.I think this should be solved through Adobe, as an up-to-date Pantone library aught to be an integrated part of the CS package. There must be thousands of designers having this problem, so a solution posted here would be of preference. Or even better: problem solved through an Adobe update today.

Thank you very much for shedding some clear light on this subject John – much appreciated. Now I know what to do in this specific and quite important situation. This does not change my view on the fact that these 336 new colors are missing in the CS6 libraries. I think it's a confusing mess.

Either Adobe CS supports the Pantone system or it doesn't. And to bring on the trumpets, claiming that CS6 supports the Pantone Plus Series when this is in fact not true, that's where things become really critical in my opinion.Adobe should integrate these 1 year old colors in CS6 urgently.Thanks again for clarifying!Best, Jes.

Dear Stuart:Despite the fact that Adobe Creative Cloud is the newest version, the fact is that it is likely the development cycle for this product started long before the 336 new PANTONE colors were released. As with all software companies, Adobe has a deadline date for inclusion of new features. Most likely, the 336 new PANTONE colors were launched after this date which is why they are not supported in CC. (Any comments from Adobe on this point are certainly welcome).Not to belabor the point, but this is the very reason for the existence of PANTONE Color Manager software - to allow our customers not to be overly inconvenienced by launch dates for new PANTONE colors that may not coincide with our software licensees' development schedules.Best regards,John StanzioneManager - Technical SupportPantone, LLC. Hey everyone. Download pokemon ruby para my boy free. Since Pantone is being rediculous on this, I'll provide a viable answer for all of you loyal customers out there who dont enjoy getting the run around and being forced to provide a new income stream for pantone.IF (this is a big one).IF you have a previous version (before CS6) of InDesignIllustrator/Photoshop installed still, navigate to: applicationsindesignCS??presetsswatch libraries, there you will see all of the.acb files listed.

Copy everything Pantone. That doesn't say Pantone+ to the same folder in your current copy of InDesign. You have to do this for each app you want them to appear in. Restart the app and you should see these new libraries listed below the rest of the pre-installed pantone+ listings in your swatches pallete add dialog box.I had a previous set of libraries from CS3 and this worked to CS6 & CC.back up and running with my previously COMPLETE set of digital libraries again.As for you Mr.

Pantone.Pantone + seems to be a totally bogus. I have a color bridge and a formula guide swatch book sitting in front of me from 2005 that I paid you hansomely for.thankfully at the time the color bridge came with a digital version too if we registered on your site.I think.it was 2005 afterall. There are multiple colors in them that arent listed in your trusty new Pantone+ digital library included with Adobe's CS6 or CC.the whole page for 583 and numerous others is just one example.

I'm not sure if you have your wires crossed or what, but the info you provided above saying only the newest of the colors since April2012's release aren't included in CS6 is COMPLETELY wrong.The advice to buy 'this' and it'll fix it is a crazy thing to do to your loyal returning customers looking for support.especially after we've already made significant investment as a buy in to be able to use your product. To only be given the option of purchasing an addtitional Patone+ 'something' to be elligable for a free download or to pay $45 to have access to something we've already paid for, used previously, and now realize has been taken away from us is crazy! To the community at large:With respect to the post above from 'nolt4024' I would again like to clarify a few points.If you read my posts carefully, you will see that at no point did I suggest that customers need to purchase anyting additional to get the 336 newest PANTONE colors. The purchase and registration of any PANTONE PLUS SERIES product includes a FREE license for PANTONE Color Manager software. The only purchase involved here is a purchase of an updated PANTONE guide, which presumably customers would need to do in order to have physical access to the colors.Secondly, with regard to your PANTONE books circa 2005, all of the colors contained therein would be available within Adobe CS6 and Adobe CC apps. Keep in mind that the PANTONE PLUS SERIES products are ordered chromatically, not numerically, so that the PANTONE numbers in older books will be paginated differently in the PANTONE PLUS SERIES books, and thus ordered differently within the libraries in PANTONE Color Manager software.I sincerely hope this clarifies both issues for all of you.Best regards,John StanzioneManager - Technical SupportPantone, LLC. John,I didnt misread your clarification the first time before I wrote my post.

And yes you are saying we have to purchase something! Either the software@$45 or a new Pantone+ swatch book@$239.The fact still remains that you guys have changed the Pantone 'numbering standard' that has been the same for YEARS.now with the numbering system change you guys have effectively made obsolete anyone's previous purchases of color books from you if they are using an Adobe product to design with (since Adobe software only contains the most recent palletes in their software now).Secondly, what you said about my previous books is also exactly what I'm talking about. Yes the colors may still be in the library somewhere but I have no way to reference their new numbers to adobe's software because my books don't match up anymore.get what I'm saying yet? The only option I have is to buy your new software or new pantone+ swatch books if I want to use what's provided in adobe's software now because I have no way of physically referencing a color any longer.That's why it's obviously a new income stream scheme for your company and also a slap in the face of everyone who's been a loyal user for years. Don't bother clarifying anything else if there's no solution your willing to provide other than, 'Buy this and it'll fix it'. Dov (or Anyone Who Can Help), I registered my Pantone+ color guide and downloaded/installed the free Pantone Color Manager from your website but the PCM software does not have all the features working.

Nothing at all shows up under View/ Fandeck and no window appears with a Fandeck icon in the lower right corner. Nothing shows up under the PANTONElive menu item except a greyed out 'Check for Updates.' I can, however, check for updates under the PCM menu item, but doing so results in the message that I have the most recent version. Because of the nonfunctioning menu items, I am unable to load the new colors into my Adobe products in the manner instructed on your website. Also there is no 'PantoneLIVE' folder under Application Support (or anywhere). It's as though the PCM download file was not all-inclusive. Please advise how I might get my PCM to function correctly.

I am really trying to finish a project! Many Thanks.Mary. Mary,What platform (Mac or PC) are you using PCM?What operating system version (Windows 7,8,10, OSX 10.8, 10.9, 10.10)?Are you an 'administrator' of your computer?This is what I see running PCM on my Mac (10.9.5):Have you tried a reinstall? Make sure you have their latest version. Also, you could email their support as they are responsive in providing a solution.

It might even be possible that their servers or connect is down. I believe that happened to me once.I will tell you this, it is NOT easy to update the color libraries. You might want to read my original post to assist.Hope this helps and good luck! ToxicTool, thank you for your reply.

I am using Mac OSX 10.8.5; 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I am the administrator (and only user) of this computer. I am trying to use the PCM file I downloaded on Friday from Pantone's website, after registering my Pantone+ Color Bridge guide. When I launch PCM, I see the top level menu items only and do not get an application window at all.

When I look in my HD Applications folder, there is no Pantone folder there, only the PCM application icon floating by itself. I wonder if there should be a Fandeck folder or a PANTONElive folder, and if that is why the submenu item Fandeck shows no list and nothing is under the PANTONElive menu item except the greyed out 'update' text. I did redownload/reinstall the PCM app from Pantone on Saturday with the same results.

I have restarted my computer several times. I did read your original post and all the posts in this thread and have tried many things, but most instructions require being able to select menu items, etc, that I'm not able to access. I did, however, manually install the color files via the following page:With that, I am able to open in Illustrator the PANTONE+ Color Bridge Uncoated.acb swatch panel, but many of the colors I need are missing. For example, 2033 and 2035. So, I believe this.acb file is not the one which includes the 336 new colors. All the other instructions I might try seem to require a properly functioning PCM. Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated.

ToxicTool and Rob Day, thank you both so much for your time and thoughts. I had simultaneously also written to Pantone Support and they sent to me a link to a new fixit file to Pantone Color Manager.

I downloaded that and was able to then open a fully functioning Pantone Color Manager, with all the new colors. This was their note:X-Rite engineering has developed a new release to correct this issue. You may download the installer at.Please install this directly over your current installation.With this freshly installed PCM I was able to export the palette I needed to Adobe Illustrator via the instructions on the Pantone site:Finally, I had to move the file I'd exported (PANTONE+ Color Bridge Uncoated-V2.acb) from the upper lever folder: Adobe Illustrator / Presets / Swatches into the specific subfolder: Adobe Illustrator / Presets / Swatches / Color Books. I was then able to open this palette in Illustrator via Window / Swatch Libraries / Color Books.I cannot tell you all I have done to finally get these colors available for my project. O the trials and tribulations. But, alas.I hope this helps someone else along their journey to the elusive 336.

This does clarify much. Just and excuse. There are MANY people dissatisfied with Adobe and Pantone for not addressing this issue. All things considered, wouldn't you agree this is a problem that so many are find it ridiculous that we have to jump through hoops to get for what we have already paid for?I've been reading forums and looking this up for over 2 hours trying to get a straight answer on how to get the pantone colors I need added to my Adobe Illustrator and Indesign Creative Cloud software. I've yet to find a way that works or is clear. This is absurd.

I have a deadline, and I can't use my Pantone books to digitally mock anything that has the color I need. How do you expect people to use the product if we can't access them through our software? Most designers aren't luddites and we do use computers to do our work.Please offer STEP-by-STEP instructions on how I can get my full pantone purchase available on my AdobeCC software. We paid for it, we should get it. Dear Jesse, et al:I am happy to provide clarification on this important issue.With regard to your comments concerning Adobe CS6, and lack of support for the 336 newest PANTONE colors, this is precisely the point of having PANTONE Color Manager as a solution. With this software, we are providing our customers with a vehicle to allow immediate access to updated PANTONE libraries, without having to wait for Adobe to produce updates to their software. The reality is that Adobe simply cannot always react immediately to produce updates to the PANTONE libraries within their software.We understand that PANTONE Color Manager isn't perfect, and we will be working very hard to improve the user experience as we produce updates to the software moving forward.Best regards,John StanzioneManager - Technical SupportPantone, LLC.

I've used about every version of PCM. I haven't ever had the application update work. However, it does update my applications (Adobe and Quark) just fine.The numbers you list are in the 336 section. And using File Export Application it does put the palettes in place for use. Once exported, you need to either load them for use via the swatches palette in ID, or add just the colors desired.As for showing up in PCM, with it running, check for the palette.

Click on the fan deck at the lower right and navigaste the pop up menu and it should be listed (or use the View Fan deck menu items). Depending on your update settings, it should by default check for updates to 'Pantone Live.' Which takes more time than it ought. If automatic updates are turned off and you don't have the 336 fan decks, use the PantoneLive menu and check for updates.Take care, Mike.
