How to stop the "renew cloud subscription"

Question

I cancelled my Cloud membership a couple of months ago, when I purchased the Master suite. I haven't uninstalled the Cloud downloads yet, which I'm sure is the problem. Do I need to uninstall all of the softwares now and reinstall the purchased one's again, or can I just uninstall the Cloud software and be cool?
I've also gotten an error message when opening up Illustrator, saying that I need to rt click the .exe file so that it can be repaired, not sure what the heck that means but it's happened everytime I've opened that software since I bought it and it's a little disturbing, do you thing that doing the above will correct that issue?
Thanks for your help!

Perpetual license customers will get the features in the next version, in this case CS7. So Creative Cloud subscribers are getting an early release of certain features.
Yeah but I wouldn't be surprised if some new features for cloud users are held back and happen soon after the release and are chalked up to Adobe had to make a cut off for distribution (how it normally goes), so the cloud members feel like they are getting more and the perpetual users are again left to ponder the cloud. Nice carrot on a stick system the cloud presents.

;-) I really wouldn't be too impressed or that surprised, here is why....
Your thread title - How to stop the "renew cloud subscription" - along with your message stating you cancelled your "Adobe Creative Cloud" membership, well these two things brought out the Adobe Staff as they want everyone they can to get on the Cloud, and no doubt made them cringe at the thought of people canceling the program even though your allowed to as its your choice depending on your terms. Then you have the users who understand the facade of the cloud marketing machine and many prefer to own a perpetual license, we chime in because we are not in agreement with the whole rent your software idea and to pay money to be Adobe's Official Beta Testers via the cloud, which is marketed as cutting edge new features for cloud members.
Had your thread been something about a feature not working properly since illustrator CS2, or missing since AI8, it would more than likely went unnoticed by Adobe, even if submitted officially via the aptly named "wishform" (Appropriate name as thats what most of it ends up being, hopes and wishes that go unfulfilled or are fulfilled 14 years later like the Package Files feature). New features (regardless of however half backed they are) and marketing thats what make money, while missing features, and unfulfilled proper implementation of features, well they are just what they are for the most part, a dying request and or thread.
Cloud threads are of top echelon importance! I am however ready for some cloud dissipation actually and more sunshine being shed on long time perpetual license owners, not just the thought of a cloudy future, but rather some better attention to regular owners. Sadly as the weather people go, these requests and interests are much like weather forecasts, entirely inaccurate, or even worse being held in secrecy hoping we move on to cloudy days. Bring back the sunshine Adobe.
Welcome to the forum by the way, as you stated it is a great resource for learning and growing your skills with so many skilled individuals around here thats for sure. Get involved and dive into the forum. Sunny or Cloudy at least the forum is by-partial for the most part. ;-)
