Is it true Creative Cloud is only needed if renting Adobe software?

I do not rent any Adobe programs. I own a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, and Elements.
Since these programs are not rented; then is it correct Creative Cloud is useless here?
The Apple computer I use has Creative Cloud always coming up at start up. Is Creative Cloud needed for updates to programs that are not rented but owned?
If unnecessary, what's the best way  to delete it from an Apple computer? OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Thanks.
What I have learned is:
Cannot sign into Creative Cloud. Did not accept my sign in. Ask to reset password. Did not receive any email to reset password for Creative Cloud sign in. So I cannot sign in to Creative Cloud. That means I cannot set it to not come up at computer start.
Using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
Went to System Preferences --> Users & Groups --> Login Items.
Creative Cloud is not listed there. That means it cannot be unselected as an item that comes up with computer start up.
None of my Adobe software is rented. So I don't need Adobe's Creative Cloud except for automatic updates. And automatic updates causing unexpected slow down of computer is annoying.
So I will uninstall Creative Cloud here:
Macintosh HD --> Applications --> Adobe Creative Cloud --> Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud
Will let you know if anything bad happens.

  • Is an Adobe Creative Cloud active subscription needed for the Adobe Photoshop streaming trial?

    Hello Adobe community,
    I am here on behalf of the Manhattan College ITS department.
    My supervisor has asked me to look into the free trial for Adobe Photoshop Streaming (APS) and we would like to try it out because it is free.
    However on the website for the APS trial, it says you need an active subscription for Adobe Creative Cloud (ACC) in order to participate.
    On the APS trial page, it states that an ACC account is needed for an individual signing up for the trial but it is not made clear for the institution.
    I'm assuming that it is required, but I would like to hear back from an Adobe rep.
    Thank you,

  • 10 seats of Creative Cloud, do I need to download the software 10 times?

    I just bought 10 seats of creative cloud and the download is taking forever. Do i need to install the software on each computer individually, or can i stick it on a flash drive/DVD or something and install it using that?

    Creative Cloud Team and Enterprise allow for the usage of the Creative Cloud Packager: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html
    Otherwise, you can find the installers here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html

  • Creative Cloud Provides Only Trial Versions?

    Does the purchase of creative cloud provide a serial number, or will I have to download the programs every month. I have been using the trial versions and leaving them open so that I do not run out of the aloted number of program openings.
    Overall, the lack in ease of use for this creative cloud system has frustrated me countless more times than I have been satified. I will always need to use Adobe programs, but I hope in the future things can be smoother for customers.
    Thanks for any help,
    B

    If you've purchased a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, then you can use your Adobe ID to log in and download the apps. The apps will exist on your hard drive. You should not have to download the programs every month as long as you continue to pay for your subscription.

    Hi,
    Please try this--
    1. Quit the CC Desktop application by clicking on the 'Tools' icon (top-right) and choosing quit from the drop-down.
    2. Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData*\Local\Adobe  and rename OOBE folder to OOBE.old.
    Launch CC Desktop application again.
    *AppData is a hidden folder.
    Let me know the outcome.

    i don't want to just back up my plug ins. i want to back up the whole suite can i do this?
    tks in advance

    Be sure to retain your serial number.  If you don't have it check your Adobe account online for it in your products section - I recommend keeping a copy of it on hand wherever you call home.  The installation files are currently available thru...

  • How do I downgrade my complete Creative Cloud to only Photoshop & InDesign?

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to downgrade my Complete Creative Cloud to only Photoshop & InDesign? Because that are the only programs that we use. How much will that cost? Now it costs us €69,99 each month.
    And is there another pay method besides a credit card? Is it possible to pay from our private bankaccount from the Netherlands?
    Hopefully I hear soon from you!
