Hi Noah, sorry to hear that - it sounds like you've gone through a lot already.  But if you're having difficulties with the CC desktop app, then you might try installing the Creative Cloud apps without it by using the Adobe CC direct download links...  Just choose whichever creative tool you want there to start with, and see if that works.  Sometimes the direct links can help get past when the download manager/assistant installation fails otherwise...  They can also be useful for making a DVD backup or reusable copy of the offline CC installers when/as needed. ...

I know I'm not the only one who looks back fondly on the days of physical media, or at very least downloads that could be burned to physical media.   No worries Kloaster – you should just be able to use the direct links instead to get whichever Adobe applications you want and copy/save the offline installers for backup or burn to DVD for later reuse whenever or wherever you want: All Adobe CS6 Direct Links, without the Download Manager or Assistant and/or All Adobe CC Direct Links, without the Application Manager or Desktop App ...

Hi tanderson, sorry you're having difficulties...  If you carefully follow the step-by-step instructions given on the page for these original CS6 direct download links then you shouldn't get any missing or denied errors, and no support downloader or assistant is used. (Note importantly that if you purchased CS6 then your licensing and serial number will not work for the newer CC version.) ... View more

OK – well if you're not able to download successfully the regular way, then after you reboot your computer you can try the Adobe CC direct download links instead - and just choose whatever Creative Cloud apps you want without the Adobe Application Manager or CC Desktop App... The direct links  are also useful if you want to copy or store the core CC installer files, back them up to a USB thumb drive, or burn them onto a DVD disc for offline use. ... View more

Hi Dorian, if you're not able to download anything the regular way then try the Adobe CC direct download links instead to just pick whatever you want - hopefully that will work for you... Those direct links will download Creative Cloud apps without the Adobe Application Manager or Desktop App, as necessary.  They are also useful if you want to store or copy the original CC installer files, back them up to offline media such as a flash drive, or burn them to DVD disc. ...

Yes, per the rules of the Adobe student discount, you can just put the date (month/year) you expect to be leaving the current school that you're in now, or whenever your current term of study or enrollment ends...  That would go for high school, middle school, primary school, etc., plus university or college, as well as post-graduate education. ...

Hey Steve, Make sure you carefully follow the "Very Important" download instructions on that page for the CC Direct Links that Kartikay gave you, otherwise you will get that "Access Denied" message... But if you follow the step-by-step directions, then you should have no problem downloading the Creative Cloud install packages directly. These downloads can also be helpful for creating or burning DVD or disc backups or offline copies of the Adobe CC installers, as needed. ... View more

Yes, with the Creative Cloud direct download links – which include direct links for the new CC Desktop App for both Windows and Mac OS. You can also remove the old Adobe Application Manager using the CS Cleaner Tool, and then start again from the top with CC... The DDL can also come in handy for making offline backups of the CC installers (like copying to disk or burning to DVD), when or where needed, as there doesn't seem to be another way to do this. ...

Well in terms of what's new and improved in CC, new features, etc, this version comparison should help: What Are the Differences Between New Adobe CC vs. CS6? If you want though, you can keep both releases on your same computer(s) indefinitely, and run either - or at least until you get going with the new release...  Or you can uninstall CS6, and CC will continue to work fine. ...

Adobe has never officially promised release dates or times in advance, and some of the comments on this thread demonstrate why... Software development doesn't always work on exact time schedules - things take longer than expected, problems crop up, etc.  But people get upset if it doesn't come exactly the date and time they expect. June 17th was always an anticipated target date for availability, but no ironclad guarantees from the company.  In any event, plus or minus a few hours will make little difference in the long run. ...
