Updating Photoshop version from the cloud does it replace older version for all users on the computer?

I have my own account for Adobe Creative Cloud. If I update the version I have to the latest CC version using the update in the cloud, will it change and update the version on my hard drive as well? Will other computer users no longer be able to use Photoshop unless they have a

Creative Cloud account?

There is no Photoshop in the cloud. Creative Cloud installs and runs software on your hard drive. Each user of the computer will need their own Creative Cloud license to use it.

Well, thanks for sharing Ralph, normally people only come to share bad news. I'm sure Adobe will be happy to hear from a satisfied customer.

      That's interesting, and a little surprising, but since the details aren't written down, maybe it's so... after all, the original user can't be using it...

      Older versions of Photoshop (CS6 or older) are not changed.

      My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

      Hm, when logging into a computer that has a license from a colleague, CC does not refuse me. And I'm not logging with a Adobe id that has a CC license attached.

      So that is one of my questions. If there are multiple users on a computer for example. One person who has a license completes the update which updates the PS CC (2015.5) version with the newest, does that mean non-license users can no longer use PS since it was updated via Creative Cloud ? So all users will have to have their own license to use Adobe CC programs on a particular hard drive.
