The Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App is free to download and install. It acts as a launcher and manager for Adobe software. However, using the creative applications (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator) requires a paid subscription or a free trial.


Adobe maintains a hidden directory for enterprise users. Go to: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud-desktop-app
