Creative Cloud apps only need to phone home for activation monthly (at least it was that way early last year). Impacted users just need to get a new Adobe ID and purchase a prepaid 1 yr sub to their apps using a Gmail address and VPN (if Adobe is checking IP). Then just get on a VPN once a month to let it phone home and otherwise block internet access for those apps.
Also, it's possible that the activation servers don't even check IP. Companies just don't want to get fined by the govt. There's no incentive for them to go beyond the letter of law in checking. It may be as simple as saying you're somewhere else when signing up.
