Licensing without Internet

Greetings,

I need to operate my Adobe products for a few months without internet access. Is there an option for a prepaid monthly or yearly license file (six months or one year)? I cannot find any clear answers for my situation and I am finding some companies do offer such licensing, others don't. One company's answer was to send me software two generations old to use (last version not requiring active internet for licensing). I dearly hope Adobe's answer will not be to use pre Creative Cloud software.

Thank you for your input.

The clear answer is no. Adobe will not supply older apps. (If someone offers older apps, they are a scammer!)

Monthly subscription holders must have Internet to verify subscription every 30 days.

Pre-paid annual subscription holders can go 90 days without "calling home" assuming you don't sign-out of your Creative Cloud account.

That said, you won't have access to the myriad online services that sync with your Creative Cloud account like CC libraries, storage, Stock assets, Adobe Fonts, Spark, Portfolio, Sign, etc...

once you sign in and open your adobe programs, with an annual (paid annually) you should be ok for 100 days as long as your subscription doesn't lapse during that time. but keep the programs you want to use open (minimized is ok). if you close and then try to reopen it may trigger another license check.
