Creative cloud - the bipolar Install button

Each app on the CC panel has a button, either TRY or INSTALL. On the surface it would appear that those apps labelled INSTALL are either apps that come with ones subscriptions, or are part of the functionality of CC. BUT..... some INSTALL apps turn out to be trials (surely they should be labelled with a TRY button). Is there a list somewhere that describes each app and distinguishes which apps "come with" that subscription, and/or which apps are utilities that come with CC as general funtionality objects.

    when you go to that link, just below "files",download center", "learn", do you see:

    Thanks kglad for the interest.

    Yes, on the surface that is what one would intuitively expect: INSTALL would appear to be apps that you can install and use that "come with" ones subscription, and TRY would simply be trials that run for 30 days.

    But for example: Amongst my apps with an INSTALL key was Edge Animate which I assumed had come with Premiere, but when I installed it it turned out to be a trial - therefore my way of thinking is that it should have been labelled TRY rather than INSTALL.

    Now there are others, but I dont wish to install trials and I also dont really want to go through the process of installing each to find out. Over and above that, if I do ever want to trial apps in future I wont be able to as my trials would be considered to have been concumed.

    So it would be nice if Adobe would get these buttons in line - or a least provide a schedule of what "comes with" each subscription.

    It looks to me to be a glitch in CC, or perhaps a naughty deception on Adobe's part to induce one to trial apps.

    I have had a happy experience with Photoshop CC over the last few months, but adding a second app (Premiere) has beeen a bit of a nightmare. I think CC has as little way to go yet before it is going to become a comfortable product to use. This business of needing different Adobe accounts for each app is a damn nuisance.
