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.

Hi there!

I know this is quite an old post but I hope somebody will come to help me.

I teach photo archive and we use Adobe Bridge as our official tool. My students downloaded it and now they get emails from adobe that say their trial version is expiring and they need to subscribe to use Bridge.

Never happened before so I wonder why they get messages when bridge is distributed freely to users. Should they ignore the message?

Pretty sure it's still distributed free. Maybe the students misunderstood the contents?

Bridge CC is available to install via the Creative Cloud Desktop App. (Under the Apps tab; you might not see it unless you click the "Previous Versions" section. I don't know why this is since Bridge CC is current and is slated for another update at some point.)
