Possibility of using CC offline with school plan

Hi everybody, I have an adobe school plan for all my students at my school that use the adobe CC suite through their accounts by logging in into the lab iMacs on the CC app, then they log out when the lesson if finished and other students do the same through the day. They have access to all the adobe software.

Soon there will be final exams and it will be likely that a requirement will be to have no internet access on the desktops when the exam is ongoing. Is there any solution to use the adobe CC programs offline for schools that require it?

Thanks in advance

    Hi @cristiano_8203,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. After reviewing your query, I am unable to find an active license associated with the Adobe ID you used to post.

    It is possible to use Adobe Creative Cloud apps offline with certain conditions, depending on your school's licensing model and how the devices are managed. Here are a few potential solutions:

     

    Offline Mode for Creative Cloud Apps: Adobe allows Creative Cloud apps to be used offline for up to 99 days, but users will need to log in to verify their subscription when the machine has internet access. After this initial verification, the software can continue to function offline until the next online check is needed. However, this is limited to apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and others installed through the Creative Cloud desktop app.

    Perpetual Licensing Option: If your school is using a shared license model offline usage may be tricky, as these plans typically require periodic online authentication. If the licensing is tied to the Creative Cloud desktop app, it will need to be logged into at least once every 30 days.

    Managed Devices: If you are using a school-wide deployment on lab machines, it may be helpful to configure a local environment where users can log in once and access the software offline during exams. However, keep in mind that periodic log-ins will still be necessary after a certain time.

     

    For more details, please refer to the following article: Internet Connectivity and Creative Cloud Apps.

    Could you please provide the Adobe ID associated with the active subscription via a personal message? This will allow me to assist you more effectively. For instructions on how to send a personal message, please refer to this guide: How to Send a Personal Message on Adobe Community.
