Directions for Individual Installation
As a first step, we recommend that you try installing Pantone Connect from the Adobe Exchange hosted by Adobe. Due to recent changes to the Adobe Exchange, many Extensions including Pantone Connect are not successfully downloaded from the Adobe Exchange on the first try. If you run into problems with the download, please try these steps in order.

1) After performing the install, restart Adobe, then in the Adobe tool menu visit Window -> Extensions -> Pantone Connect . If your install was successful, following these steps will bring up the Pantone Connect extension window and prompt you to create an account.

2) If install was not initially successful after step 1, please try to install using the Anastasiy Extension Manager.

a) Visit install.anastasiy.com.

b) After selecting either the Mac or Windows version of your chosen Extension Install Utility, download it to your computer and follow the installation instructions from the installer, which should be in your Downloads folder.

c) Install the Pantone Connect ZXP file from our website.

d) Install your extension in the Anastasiy Extension Manager by selecting File > Install extension or following the instructions within the install utility and selecting the extension from within your computer’s Downloads folder.

 3) If none of these options work, contact us at support@pantone.com. We’ll everything we can to get you up and running ASAP!

Directions for Enterprise Installation
Enterprise installation is required if your Adobe software is managed and deployed by a central IT group within your company. You will be required to download an unsigned ZXP file, available on our Adobe Exchange product page, and to follow the directions posted on this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/manage-extensions.html
