Question

Can I use Creative Cloud without being connected to the Internet?

Hi Jeff, I'm on a government site working with Premiere and I am not allowed to connect my editing workstation to the internet--ever. Is there a way I can purchase and use CC without the download and activation requirements?

I found this link for CS6 and this may have been what we did for 5.5 - is there anything like this for CC?

I also found this link about the CLP-G licensing programming but I can't find anything else about this on your sites:

Is my only workaround to install CS6 and leave it at that?

Thanks,
Kris

Branching this to a new discussion.

Kris I would recommend you look into Creative Cloud for Teams.  This topic is covered in the Creative Cloud FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.edu.html#cc-teams.  In specific it states:

If I work in an enterprise or government agency that restricts access to the Internet, can I use Creative Cloud?

Yes, if you are part of a large enterprise, you can work with an Adobe representative to customize a Creative Cloud solution that meets your organization's needs.  Contact your Adobe account executive to discuss deployment options.

Thanks Jeff.

A follow-up questions. If we do get CC but don't renew our subscription, will the CC project files be backwards compatible? Will my CS5.5 be able to open the CC project files?

Thanks.

Kris this is also discussed in the FAQ in relation to CS6.  Please see the following:

Can the new CC applications export to CS6?

Many of the Creative Cloud desktop applications provide the ability to export files to the Creative Suite 6 version of that same application. Creative Suite 6 products are available via a perpetual software license.

Adobe plans to continue to support the ability to export to Creative Suite 6 in the applications that have that capability now.

New features added to the desktop applications after Creative Suite 6 may not be supported in the exported file, or by the Creative Suite 6 application.

Which CC applications support export to CS6?

The following applications support the ability to export to the CS6 version of the application:

  • Photoshop
  • InDesign®
  • Illustrator
  • Flash® Professional
  • Dreamweaver®
  • After Effects®

Applications not listed here may not support exporting to Creative Suite 6, and may not do so in future releases.

New features added to the above list after Creative Suite 6 may not be supported in the exported file, or by the Creative Suite 6 application.
