Creative cloud subscription without internet access

Would there be a way to get the creative cloud subscription for my work with out using the internet monthly by paying the year in full. My workstation is not online and can't be, it is part of a internal network.

Hi there - the Creative Cloud FAQ states that you must have internet connection at least once a month:

Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?
Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
...however, you may be able to call Customer Support to update your license status in person. I would try contacting customer service:
800-833-6687 (M-F, 5am-7pm EST)
or live chat.
An alternative solution for this is to install one or more applications on a secondary computer that you use outside of the internal network, say, a personal laptop. Since the Creative Cloud license allows for use on two devices, you could complete the monthly license check via the applications on your secondary computer. Doing so would validate your whole memberhsip, and all devices/applications linked to it.
Either way, I'd contact customer support just to be sure.
Cheers! Good luck

How to keep Creative Cloud working without Internet access?

I'll be out of the country for two weeks with virtually no internet access. How do I ensure that Creative Cloud will keep working if there is no way to confirm the activation?

Hi there -
As you may know, a license check is performed every 30 days:

The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
However, if the product is unable to verify your license at the 30 day mark, a 7-day grace period will begin giving you a little extra time. If you are not able to access internet within those 7 days, your applications will be blocked (Source: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4513667#4513667)
Unfortunately, there is no way to "force" the verification process to make sure that the check doesn't happen right as you are starting your 2 weeks away.
Here are a few forum threads that contain more discussion of this issue:

Creative Cloud Update Without Admin Access on Mac OS X

How can I configure Creative Cloud client to automatically update from Adobe servers without administrative access on Max OS X? Our users do not have administator access on their machines, so they cannot update Creative Cloud by themselves. Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I will suggest you to create a Package of only 1 app like Dreamweaver and include CC Desktop app in the Package. Deploy the Package on the client machines so it will install the software along with CC Desktop app and the users can download the rest of the app's later.
Deploying package will also install Remote Update Manager on each client machine, you can invoke it remotely through command line or from remote management tools.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Abhijit

Could not access Creative Cloud today without updating it. After update it will not open. It spins for five seconds then closes. Mac Pro tower 3 yrs old 12 gb ram os 10.7.2

I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

Monthly Creative Cloud subscription payment has nearly doubled without notice

I have had a Creative Cloud subscription since it was introduced. Since November, the monthly payment has nearly DOUBLED. Why is this, and why wasn't I notified before this happened? I don't use all of the software, and cannot justify a nearly 100% increase in payment for the service.

When Creative Cloud Subscription Ends

I have the CS4 creative suite and just want to upgrade to CS6 after effects. If I buy a month of creative cloud to upgrade to CS6 will I lose the software when the month ends? I really just want after effects CS6 and want to know the best way to do that without having to join creative cloud forever.
Thanks

Adobe still sells perpetual licenses of CS6. I advise you to get one until you fully understand the full implications of going cloud-only. Since this is the AE forum, here is the most germane implication: any project file created under AE Creative Cloud can only be opened by AE Creative Cloud software.
Adobe is cutting people some slack by allowing current CC project files to be opened in CS6. However, that WILL NOT last forever.... and at the moment, no one is saying how long that access will last.
Thus, you have a choice to make: keep up with After Effects in the Creative Cloud by paying the monthly fee, or eventually risk losing access to your project files should you ever decide to discontinue your Creative Cloud subscription.
Hence my recommendation.

Unable to unsubscribe from my Creative Cloud subscription.

Attempting to unsubscribe from my Creative Cloud subscription, I am presented with the following form error alert:
We're sorry, something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later.
I have attempted this both in Firefox and Chrome with the same result in each.

Hi - thanks for reporting this. I have gone ahead and stopped your membership. You will continue to have access until 27 May, 2013.

How do I transfer my Creative Cloud subscription to a desktop cpu? My laptop is too antiquated.

My laptop computer is too old to run Creative Cloud programs without Microsoft constantly closing it.
Actually, Illistrator seem to work okay so far, but Photoshop continually crashes after certian moves and sometimes even upon attempting to save after one simple move that I'm working on.
I've already paid for the subscription for a couple months (forgot to check requirements firt), but now can't find how to move it to another computer.
I had a stroke awhile back, and I'm not up to full speed yet, and on zero budget. But my boss at my part-time job has allowed me to use his older desktop computer (still far newer than mine) that was repurposed to run as a dedicated DVD duplicator in his video production studio.
I think I may need to perhaps discontinue CC on one machine first and download it onto the borrowed desktop cpu.
How do I transfer my subscription?
Thank you for any assistance you might be able to offer,
Tim

Thank you so much Mylenium,
Your explanation also helped me with the lingo to do a better search on
TV.adobe.com, where I was additionally able to WATCH a guy do exactly as
you succinctly stated.
Thank you so very much!!!

Creative Cloud subscription won't renew

On May 7th I renewed my Creative Cloud subscription and yet still have not been able to access any of the applications I had installed. I continue to get the "Renew Your Subscription" pop up but when I go to my account it says my renewal payment has been processed. I was able to download on my second computer first time apps.
Any help or suggestions?

Does Adobe Bridge CC require a Creative Cloud Subscription Plan?

Hi. We have a few users at our workplace that only require the use of Adobe Bridge CC and not any of the other Adobe CC apps. Can one simply make an Adobe ID, use it solely to download and install Bridge CC and be able to use Bridge CC (and only Bridge CC) past the typical 30-day trial period WITHOUT signing up for a Creative Cloud subscription plan? Or does one need to have either an active trial or an active subscription to be able to do this?
I was under the impression that Adobe Bridge CC was installed and managed separately from the rest of the Adobe CC apps and would be offered standalone for free. If someone knows these details, I'd love to know too. Thanks.

Bridge is nothing more than what used to be Photoshop's File Browser.
It is not offered for free, and it cannot even be installed or bought by itself.
You have to buy a single application that comes with it, such as Photoshop CS6, or subscribe to it, or subscribe to a single one of the CC applications, or suites.
Your impression was wrong.

Photoshop CS6 installation failing with Creative Cloud Subscription

I have a Creative Cloud subscription and I am having trouble installing Photoshop CS6 with the Adobe Application Manager. The application will download but when installing it gives me an Installation Failed error with the message "The download appears corrupted. Press Cancel, wait a few minutes and try again (-60)"
I am using a Macbook Pro 17" i7 8GB with Mac OSX 10.7.3.
When I look at the DLM_Native.log file using the Console I get a whole bunch of errors like the following.
[ERROR] | 7B2C1C2F-AC72-4B17-9D58-C9BC80BC9A07 | | | | | | Checksum validation failed for segment 510
[WARN] | 7B2C1C2F-AC72-4B17-9D58-C9BC80BC9A07 | | | | | | Some Error has come during download operation with Error type - -60, and Error Code - 417
I have about 60GB of free hard drive space, so I know I am not running out of space for installation.
I do not see an alternative way of downloading other than the Adobe Application Manager. If I go to my orders page on Adobe.com and click download for Photoshop CS6 it just opens the Application Manager and begins downloading from there.
I have downloaded and installed Illustrator and Flash Professional using the Application Manager without issue.

Thanks for the quick response Jeff. I wonder if there's something else going on. All the other apps (Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver et al) downloaded and installed to the same location (Applications folder) no problem using the application manager. When I tried to use the download manager to download Photoshop separately, the download destination was set to the desktop, while logged in with administrator privileges. The .dmg downloaded without any apparent problems but generated a checksum error warning when I tried to expand it. I tried several times, had antivirus and Little Snitch turned off, tried again after restarting etc. to no avail.
Interestingly, my colleague experienced the exact same problems on his (Mac) system, which is running same OS.
I got around all this by downloading Photoshop from the CS6 direct download page using the link you provided, for which many thanks.

Can your creative cloud account give you access to Flash Builder 4.6

Can your creative cloud account give you access to Flash Builder 4.6? 4.7 got rid of the design view, I need to get use out of the design view. Thanks

I wonder why when it would be a downgrade form the version 4.7 my subscription give me access to. There does not seem to any training that uses 4.7 I was lucky enough to find some that uses 4.6 and it covers things about the design view. I thinking since a lot of the material to learn it is kind-a-outdated (and still referrers a lot to design view) that it would be good to learn it with access to design view. This way I will understand what they mean and can distinguish between features. Thanks
