The Adobe "Creative Cloud" is not cloud software. It just the Adobe Creative Suite desktop applications sold on a subscription model. The problem here was that they added DRM to it to make sure you can't use it if you don't have an active subscription and those 'call home' servers failed. It is more of a DRM problem than a 'cloud' problem.
