    you can install the cc desktop app and cc programs, but your cc programs will stop working within 30 to 99 days if your computer has no internet access (at least episodically) after installation.

    There are ways to purchase Creative Cloud for installations that are permanently offline (e.g., secure government locations without an Internet connection, etc.), but that option is only available to Enterprise customers via a long-term licensing agreement in what's called a Serialized deployment.

    For everyone else (Individual, Student/Teacher, or Team memberships), the only route is to use the Creative Cloud direct links to download the installers, and then copy over & use those to set up the software on your offline computer.

    Once installed and signed in, then you should be able to disconnect that computer and run completely offline for up to 99 days + one month, if you have an annual subscription:

    Internet connectivity, offline grace period, and reminders | Adobe Creative Cloud apps

    A brief reconnect would then be necessary at that time to revalidate (reconfirm) your subscription license for another 4+ month offline period.

    The CC subscription needs to be reconfirmed at regular intervals, which requires an internet connection.
