Can I keep Photoshop CC, but uninstall Creative Clout App

[paulh97789882]

Hi,

I am a regular Photoshop user, do heavy editing at work on day to day bases. To install Photoshop CC, I had to get Creative Cloud app for my work PC. That was the only time I had ever used CC app,  even PS has no problem loading up, while not logged in CC app. Often I then kill CC app and Adobe update service via Task Manager, cause I have better use for my PC resources, than constantly checking for updates. So it is clear, that CC app is not important for Photo Shop functionality.

I have no need to synchronize any of my images on CC, I have multiple back-up HDD's for that, I do not, or ever will be using any other Adobe products than Photo Shop and Acrobat Reader .

So I would like to know, if I can remove Adobe products, that are useless for me, and keep programs that I use, and happy to pay for??

I want to emphasize point, that I am aware of all features that CC has to offer, and I am not interested in cloud storage, stock images or tutorials!!!

Cheers, Tengiz.

As of my knowledge, the CC app is also used as a helpper app in the background.
