Copy plugins and scripts to a newer AfterEffects version when I update
Whenever I update my Adobe applications I would like them to look in the script and plugin folders and copy them over to the newer Aftereffects scripts and plugin folder. If you want this to a creative cloud where in as the product is syncing everything at the least sync the old plugins and the scripts to the newer Aftereffects. Even if there are places where the plugins and scripts might break but I at the least I will know and contact the developers about it.

to start with, don't you need administrative rights to install an app??

But then this tool that would copy plugins would need admin rights anyway... Best is to install plugins directly with admin rights in the Common folder !
And... don't update Adobe software to the latest version every year :--) -

This is a HUGE issue for us in a corporate environment where we don't have admin rights to our Application folders. We usually have a 2-3 month delay in adopting new versions (that's after the initial delay by our IT department to "test" the product) because explaining the nuances of all our scripts and plug-ins and how to set them up is extremely difficult to a help desk employee that has never opened After Effects before. Having those items migrate automatically with other settings would save us a lot of headache.
