   I upgraded to DW CC v. 21.0 on Mac. For no apparent reason, I cannot get DMXzone to activate. When I open it, the three PVII extensions that I want to load already appear; when I click the refresh button, nothing happens; when I click the Reinstall All link, nothing happens; and the Installed icon at the bottom of the DMXzone screen is grayed out. I then quit and reloaded DW but the extensions do not appear in the Insert drop-down options.

   Next, I attempted to replace the DMXzone application. When I dragged the new DMXzone icon into my Applications folder, I got a message saying "The operation can't be completed because the item 'DMXzone Extension Manager" is in use." However, I cannot close/quit DMXzone on my machine; when the DMXzone screen is active, the main menu on my iMac doesn't show the apps name as being active; there's no File > Quit option to choose.

   I've searched this forum for "Extension Manager" but find nothing related to this problem.

   What might you suggest I do to enable my three much-needed PVII extensions to appear in DW CC v. 21.0?

   Thanks, in advance.

   Hi Warren - why not use the PVII Extension Manager: https://www.projectseven.com/products/ex-man/info.htm

   Thanks for jumping in Savio.

   When I clicked your referenced link, the download DMXzone button first appeared, which is what I used last week. Are you suggesting that I use the one beneath it; the free Anastasiy’s Extension Manager for Adobe?

   That PVII page states that it's for DW CC 2020 and earlier, however, I'm running DW CC 2021. Does that page's notification need to be updated?

   Hi Warren - there is actually a PVII extension manager. On that page you should see something "for WIndows" or "For Mac"...it works with CC 2021 (I just reinstalled all my extensions (PVII and others) through it on CC2021.

   Click "For WIndows" or "For Mac" on that page - whichever you have, and that will take you to the download page for that particular PVII extension manager.

   I hope this helps!

   Glad you're there, Savio.

   I clicked that "For Mac" button and two download buttons appeared: DMXzone and Anistasiy's. I don't see a PVII extension manager button or hyperlink on that page.

   What might I be missing? Please click the link you gave me and see what appears on your end when the "For mac" button is selected.

   Thanks, pal.

   Ah - that is why - I use Windows so only have ever clicked that link - you are correct, the Mac link doesn't list it.

   I also just read closer the text on the site:
   PVII Extension Manager installs on Windows systems, providing a means for you to install or remove Extensions (add-ons) for Adobe Creative Cloud applications—including Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and more. PVII Extension Manager will install any valid extension from any developer, and It works with all Creative Cloud versions up to CC 2021.

   So the PVII Extension Manager is windows only :( my apologies!

   That clears up the issue.

   Instead of DMXzone, I'll now try Anastasiy's extension manager (with my fingers crossed).

   Thanks, again, Savio.

   Thankfully, the Anastasiy's Extension Manager for Mac worked. All Mac users on this forum ought to appreciate this news. I'm delighted that I can finally activate and resume working with Pop Box Magic and other PVII products.

   I trust that Gerry will update the text on the PVII Extension Managers page to reflect the version applicability for this extension manager.

   Bye, all.
