How Does Adobe Creative Cloud Work?

Adobe Creative Cloud is a subscription service. You do not buy a permanent copy of the software; you get access to Adobe apps and services for as long as your plan is active.

What is Adobe Creative Cloud?

Creative Cloud is Adobe's subscription for its creative apps, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Acrobat Pro, plus cloud storage, fonts and web and mobile apps. Depending on your plan you get one app or the full suite, now called Creative Cloud Pro (formerly All Apps).

How do I install the apps?

You sign in with your Adobe account and install desktop apps through the Creative Cloud desktop app on Windows or macOS. Mobile and web apps use the same Adobe account.

Do the apps work offline?

Yes, desktop apps work offline once installed, but Adobe requires them to check your licence online periodically. Cloud features such as storage sync and generative AI need an internet connection.

What happens when my subscription ends?

The apps stop working with full access. Files saved on your own computer remain yours, but you may need to download cloud-stored files and take care of storage limits before your plan ends.

Do I get updates?

Yes. While your plan is active you can install new versions of the apps included in it.
