The name "Lightroom CC" is not used anymore!
There are now two 'Lightroom' desktop apps- (in addition to the Mobile and Web Apps!!)
1) Lightroom v5.3 The 'Cloud' version. Catalog and files are stored in the Adobe Cloud.
2) Lightroom-Classic v11.4 The 'Local' version. Catalog and files are stored on your computer.
So which do you have intalled? Go MENU: Help > System Info... for details.
