The CS Service Manager is a program that runs in the background whenever extensions are invoked by Adobe Creative Suite products. This service determines what extensions should be loaded in an application, based on the information provided in each extension’s manifest file. Every time an extension is installed, uninstalled, or updated, the CS Service Manager reloads the extension's manifest to reflect those changes.
