Will trialing Creative Cloud apps overwrite my existing apps?

I have some Adobe apps (Acrobat, PhotoShop, InDesign) installed (and paid for!) on my desktop. If I try out the Creative Cloud apps, will I have to reinstall all of my existing apps if I decided not to keep Creative Cloud?

No , creative cloud and the paid software are 2 different things.
You will be able to use the software which you own.

Extended vacation with no internet - will Creative Cloud apps continue to work?

I will be working from locations that have little or no internet access for a couple of months. Since my computer will not be connected to the internet during that time, will my Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom continue to work, or will they shut down when I reach the end of the currnet monthly cycle?
If they will shut down, is there a way to prevent this so I can continue to use the apps during this trip?
Thanks

Note that since Adobe's new CC version came out in June, now an Internet connection is only needed once every 99 days for annual memberships:
"For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode"
Another interesting approach (suggested by Kendall Plant elsewhere) is to install the software on a second machine:
"An alternative solution for this is to install one or more applications on a secondary computer with regular network connectivity, 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."
Another solution is to buy a year (or more) of Creative Cloud in advance using a pre-paid 12-month membership card... Then no online checks would ever occur or even be necessary.

Creative Cloud Apps Telling Me I am in Trial Mode. Help!

First time I have had an issue with my Creative Cloud subscription apps. My account is in good standing since May. On a Mac running 10.6.8
As of this morning, when I try opening any of my Creative Cloud apps, I receive a notification saying "Sign In Required" -- We will now register your trial to your Adobe ID.
I installed the most recent updates on Monday, Dec. 17. After installation, I had no problems opening the software.
This morning, I launched Adobe Photoshop CS6 (ver 13.1.0) with no problems. Then, when I went to launch Adobe Illustrator (ver 16.2.0) I received the dialog saying "Sign In Required" for all my apps.
When I click the "sign in" button, it opens the apps in "tryout mode". When I quit and reopen Photoshop, InDesign, Illlustrator there is a window asking me to either license the software, or continue the trial. When I click "License This Software," it tells me sign in is required so I hit "sign in." But this then prompts me for a "serial number" -- which Creative Cloud subscribers don't have. And now all of my software is doing this.
Please...any help would be appreciated!!

Spoke with a very nice gentleman from Adobe Creative Cloud support.
He suggested, when you get to the "Sign In" page, to click "Not my Adobe ID" and it will take you to a page to sign in with your Adobe ID.
This worked!
He said that the recent updates had caused a glitch that was a "known issue."
Hope this helps someone else!

Nothing will download off the creative cloud app (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc...)

Hey.
I'm trying to download Photoshop and Illustrator from the creative cloud app. I can't seem to get either of them to download after purchasing the monthly student package. Photoshop seems to download fine until it stops at either 42/51/52% and will never finish downloading. Illustrator never even begins the download process and just sits at waiting. I'm running Windows 8.1 and have never had this problem with any other program. As for troubleshooting it I'm not sure what I could do so I simply deleted all creative cloud data off my computer and tried again from scratch, no use. Also did a system update and restart, again to no avail.
Please advise,
Jesse.

Creative Cloud app has been purchased, but will not activate

I was using the trial version of Photoshop CC. My trial period expired, so I purchased a month subscription. This lead me to the download page. Hitting the download buton just brings up Creative Cloud. When I try to open Photoshop CC it still says my trial period is over. There is a button to license this software, but it asks for a serial number. I have no numbers. I have not even received a confirmation email. But the download page still says, "
Thank you!Your payment was processed. You can now download Photoshop by clicking the "Download" button."
Any ideas?

When you have the Creative Cloud app open click on the gear icon and from the context menu choose Preferences.
With the Preferences dialog open click on the General tab and then choose Account. Click the Sign Out from Creative Cloud button.

Lightroom trial without Creative Cloud app

Hi all,
I'm considering Lightroom and I'd like to download the trial version. My machine is getting a bit old (2011 MacBook Pro), so a "try before you buy" seems like a good idea.
However, I don't really feel like installing the Creative Cloud app just for the trial as I'm only interested in the standalone version of Lightroom.
Does anyone know where I can download a trial version of Lightroom?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Andra

Thanks, but unfortunately clicking on the "Photoshop Lightroom 6" link on the page you recommended leads me to the product page for Lightroom 6 (http://www.adobe.com/nl/products/photoshop-lightroom.html). Clicking "Download" on that page downloads the installer for the Creative Cloud App, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Okay, I loaded the trial of Photoshop, have Creative Cloud loaded, downloaded Photoshop, trying to open Photoshop, but cannot, do I open it from the Creative Cloud App Screen?

It's not launched from the CC app.
If you have Windows, look under Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CC
If you have a Mac, look in the Application Folder > Photoshop CC

Trouble launching creative cloud apps. Subscription is activated but it shows trial expired screen.

Hi,
I am trying to launch creative cloud apps on 10.7.3 lion imac, but it keeps asking me to license the software, which I have already done. It even shows that subscription is active, but for some reason it keeps taking me back to the trial expired screen. I have already tried uninstallling everything and reinstalling, but that has not solved the issue. Creative Cloud seem to work just fine on my 10.6.8 macbook, but would not work on 10.7.3 iMac. Please help!!! I am so frustrated. I am paying for this and can't even launch an app. I am in the second month of this subscription. First month, everything appeared to be a trial and now it has expired. Now, when I try to license the software, it activates it for me, but it never launces the app. It takes me back to the trial screen. What should I do???

I hit this same problem. The problem wasn't on my machine: No amount of tweaking locally would fix it, no amount of removing the apps, cleaning, and reinstalling fresh. The problem was on Adobe's servers, where my account had been tagged as being a trial rather than a paying subscription.
The experience was tremdously frustrating, as most of the techs were worthless and wouldn't read the notes on what came before but simply threw out a random, inapplicable bugfix to try before handing it off to the next tech who would repeat the process. And there was no channel to get past them. Each time they'd tell me they were escalating the case, which became obvious as being a lie after a few weeks. No company has that many tiers of tech support. I was locked out of Illustrator for more than a month, waiting for late replies and meaningless "fixes".
Eventually my case landed at the desk of an agent who actually cared and kept looking until she found the answer. Thank you, Sarika Behal.

My creative cloud app shows a spinning wheel that never stops. It won't show that I am downloading the photoshop trial. How do I fix this problem?
