Application Manager file size
Application Manager 2.5.5 is an 880mb installation, 880mb
That's almost as big as the entire pro tools program used to be. What on earth does it do that would warrant 880mb?

Re: Application Manager file size
It helps keeps a lot of outsourced Global Logic contractors employed.
http://www.globallogic.com/our-work/avid/ I like the "disruptive" in "The partnership with Avid resulted in disruptive solutions". Avid and Global Logic sure are delivering disruption. Somebody clearly looked at the Adobe Creative Cloud and tried to copy what they are doing and got the engineering and product management here so embarrassingly bad. |

Re: Application Manager file size
Is there a reason the Application manager is so large? I am thinking about just uninstalling it to save space on my SSD boot drive, unless there is a compelling reason to leave it.
Thanks for splitting this thread off the other one, it was pulling it off topic.

Re: Application Manager file size
It provides info on your products and support and simplifies installation/updates, but if you need that drive space you can uninstall it. The installers are a little over 200 MB - I don't think 2.5.5 is much different. Not in front of my Win system at the moment, but AvidApplicationManager installed on my Mac is 235.9 MB.

Re: Application Manager file size
The info it provides is helpful, that's a nice touch.
The installers aren't that big but the footprint once installed shows as 880mb under programs/features in Win 10. That seemed unusually large.
