Learn how to resolve error code 713 "UAC permissions required" during Adobe app installation on Windows.
Error 713 occurs when your Windows User Account Control (UAC) settings don't grant the necessary permissions to install Adobe Creative Cloud apps. This typically happens when UAC is disabled or set too low.
Solution
To resolve the error, follow these steps:
UAC settings are too low or disabled
When UAC is turned off, Windows does not prompt for permission to install apps that require elevated access, causing installation failure.
-
-
Type UAC in the Windows search bar and then select Change User Account Control settings.
-
Move the slider up from Never notify to one of the following options:
- Always notify me: The highest level prompts you for permission for all changes, even those by you.
- Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer (default): Prompts you when apps (not you) try to make changes.
- Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer (no dimming): Similar to the previous setting, but without dimming the desktop.
-
Select OK.
-
If prompted, confirm your selection or enter an administrator password.
-
Restart your computer.
UAC is disabled at the system level
If you're unable to change UAC settings through the user interface, it may be disabled at the system level. You can enable it using the Windows Registry following these steps:
-
Press Windows + R, type regedit.exe, and press Enter.
-
Navigate to the following path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
-
Double-click the key EnableLUA.
-
Set the Value data to 1.
-
Select OK, close the Registry Editor, and restart your computer.
