- dylz 10y agoafaik the cloud part just means that it's a monthly subscription that requires internet access to remain activated
- egypturnash 10y agoThis is correct, I had my win10 tablet start bitching that it hadn't connected to Adobe's authorization servers in too long (despite the fact that it regularly has internet access, wtf Adobe) just the other day. There's multiple gigs of Adobe executables and support files on my computer.
- coldtea 10y ago>despite the fact that it regularly has internet access, wtf Adobe There's Adobe's update etc. app that needs to run that checks for that, it's not the individual apps themselves.
- egypturnash 10y agoPretty sure that'd been running all the time. Not 100% sure, this is the only Windows machine I've ever owned and getting shit to reliably run on bootup is a mystery to me.
- KineticLensman 10y agoThe Data can be kept in the cloud and the Adobe stock libraries are cloud-based, but the products (Photoshop, etc) are still installed locally and many users will keep data local as well. Edit - added detail.
- coldtea 10y agoNone of the Adobe core apps is Cloud based. They are ordinary programs that run natively and download on your machine -- they just have a subscription model that checks your license over the internet, and for that they called the suite "Creative Cloud".
