Thanks Jeff.
We are a small creative agency that has three desktop workstations (two working and one redundant) and two laptops that are used when on location (I am on location now using one of the laptops as I type). I have considered a Creative Cloud for Team membership but honestly we can't justify the extra expense just to able to create installer packages for our small team / office.
With utmost respect, I really don't think it is too much to ask for up to date direct downloads for software I subscribe to within a couple of days from release.
Thank you for your time.
Ok, thanks for the additional feedback, CBenci.
For future viewers, please see the link offered Kglad in message #1 if you would like to provide your feedback on delivering installation files for Creative Cloud applications, to Individual members, outside of the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application.
