Is Acrobat DC included in my Creative Cloud subscription?

I have a yearly Creative Cloud subscription, which includes Acrobat XI. I'm being prompted by Creative Cloud to update to Acrobat DC, but when I start the update process, there is a dialog box warning that, "Installing a trial of Adobe Acrobat DC will uninstall previous versions of Acrobat. This will deactivate any license for those versions." Why is the Acrobat DC update being called a "trial"? Is  Acrobat DC included in my Creative Cloud subscription? (I've searched online and cannot find a definitive answer.) I don't want to loose Acrobat XI during the update and then find that Acrobat DC is going to be an additional monthly charge. Making this even murkier for me is the fact that Adobe categorizes Acrobat DC under the broader Document Cloud category, rather than under the broader Creative Cloud category, making me worry further that Acrobat DC may not be included in my CC subscription.

The included apps are clearly listed here: Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan | Professional photo editing software

I don't see how that is "playing" in any way...

Just chatted with Adobe agent:

Acrobat is NOT included with the photo subscription.

Bummer. But Adobe is infamous for playing that way.

I am confused by Adobe plan descriptions. I have the same question!

I can't tell if Acrobat Pro DC is in my individual subscription price.

I had it in my first download group when I signed up but in the latest download window it appears only as  "Try"

Addendum: I can find this on Adobe's Acrobat DC FAQ page:

Can I get Document Cloud services if I’m an active Creative Cloud Member?

Yes. Many Creative Cloud plans include Acrobat Pro DC with Document Cloud services. Explore Creative Cloud plans.


However, if I follow the link to Creative Cloud plans, there is nothing to tell me whether Acrobat Proc DC is included in any of the plans. My plan is a yearly individual at $49.99/month.
