Question

No reliable internet!

I live in an area without high speed Internet. I have been using cs5 for years and would like to upgrade. I was recently told that if  I downloaded photoshop it could be used without internet. So I purchased CC. I just cancelled it because it would not work without internet. 
Why is this not doable?

Photoshop CC requires Internet access to download, update/upgrade and verify your subscription for a few seconds every 30 days.  However, you do not need continuous Internet to use the desktop software.  But without Internet you also have no access to the related online services  -- Adobe Fonts, Libraries, Creative Cloud storage, etc...

 

Photoshop Elements might be all you need.  It's a light version of PS without all the bells & whistles.  It's a single purchase. No subscription required.

I want the latest photoshop program. Do you have a link for instructions for how to install for off line? I see that a lot of people have had trouble with that. One person said he had someone from Adobe Lightroom into his PC to set it up. I don't understand why it has to be a hassle!

See the link below. At some point you must have Internet access to download and activate the software.
