  1. OMG why TF is it so hard to get updates? I can’t update the main CC app due to firewalls, and there’s NO OFFLINE VERSION!
    Endless URL maze loop taking me to sales-speak adobe pages.

    • Yes, there absolutely is an offline version of the Creative Cloud Desktop app, and it is given in the table above… In fact, we just updated it to the latest version 4.4.0.294 this morning.

    • All the links here work fine – but as mentioned in the footer to the table above, for some of the (asterisked) direct downloads you need to follow these download instructions first in order for them to work… You are probably trying to access one of those apps.

      Doing that is required by Adobe’s servers in order to set up the download session, otherwise you will get an access or permissions denied message.

      If you continue to have difficulties, we would suggest trying with a different browser, or with another computer and/or Internet connection.

      Also, make sure you’re not blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs – or running utilities like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect. Or it could be your firewall, antivirus program (esp. Kaspersky), or other third-party security software. Adobe recommends turning those things off temporarily.

    • These are all the original base releases of the CC 2018 products… They do not include any updates.

      In other words, almost all of the versions here end in “.0.” They were released on October 18th, 2017.

      Sometime soon, we hope to provide direct download links to offline installers for CC 2018 updates as well, as we have in the past for prior CC releases.

      However, this depends largely on Adobe and their provision of those installers. At this time, we do not have a firm date for the availability of these updates. But please stay tuned.

  2. Version Lightroom Classic 7.2 released.

    Offline installer version 7.0.1 here

    Incredible that Adobe does not release the updates.

    What is the problem for Adobe not to launch offline installers?

    I do not understand anything.

    Hi there,
    It looks like Adobe does not want to allow Customers to Update offline – from my point of view. Meanwhile LR Classic 7.2 is shipping via the CC Desktop app, but no standalone updaters can be found. So i can install with your download above, and then have to be online for the complete Update – is this really true?

    Regards
    Mikel

  4. same here.
    followed the instructions, logged in, but it wouldn’t let me download anything (even without the asterisk). used to work fine some months back when i first tried. any suggestions? i tried on safari and chrome. firewall and adblock off.

    • Hmm, that’s very strange. It looks like some problem with Adobe’s security certificate on that subdomain: “prdl-download is using an invalid security certificate.”

      Sorry about that! We’ll contact Adobe to see if they can get this issue fixed right away.

      And we’ll look into this further to see what else we can do, plus monitor this problem going forward.

  5. Good news: We were in touch with Adobe over the weekend and this morning they tell us that everything should be back up and running smoothly.

    We tested all the links above successfully and no longer have any issues, so fortunately this problem has been solved.

  6. I am unable to use these because it doesn’t prompt for the install location. My machine has a 128 GB boot drive with a secondary 1 TB drive. I need to be able to install to the latter. So I will have to wait.

  7. I see PS 19.1.1 is out and has fixes for a number of issues. Not sure if this is the one in your Download list. Any news/info on this? Many thanks!

    • Good question. We don’t know for sure when Adobe will be releasing standalone installers for the CC 2018 updates (including Photoshop CC 19.1.1), but if/when they do, we will for sure have all the direct download links available to you here as soon as they are out.

    • On Windows: Just unzip the downloaded file into a new folder, and then run the “Set-up.exe” executable file within that folder. Feel free to remove that folder once the installation has completed.

      On Mac: Just double-click on the downloaded .dmg file to mount it on your computer and start the installation process.

  8. What’s the problem with just using the Creative Cloud Packager? It seems to work the same as the offline installers and it works with a regular Adobe account.

  9. Hey! When I run the setup file of any application from above, they end up showing an error that the installer file is damaged and i need to download it again!

    I downloaded cc 2017 before and the apps installed perfectly without connecting to the internet but, cc 2018 apps won’t. Why?! is there a fix for this problem. Apparently, when I connect the Ethernet cable they start up installing, I just don’t know why call the setup files offline if they need to go online to install.

    Please! help me man… I might travel to places with no internet and if this thing keeps up whenever I do a PC reset. I might not want to buy or recommend this package to any of friends. I wanna try before I can buy them…

    So, man… please! help me!

    -Kristen.

    • These are offline, industry-standard installers in the sense that you can actually download them standalone and copy/move them anywhere, keep or save them as a backup, archive them onto disc or USB drive, download them on one system to install on another, etc.

      This is a capability that is not offered by the Creative Cloud Desktop app (the standard method of installing the CC products).

      Regarding installation procedures, all the earlier versions of this software worked the same way, including CC 2017. After completing the installation onto your computer, the software needs to activate its license by briefly connecting online. If you don’t yet have a paid subscription, then the programs will still work & run in free trial mode for 7 days.

      As for traveling to places without an Internet connection, that’s no problem – you can absolutely still use the software. It only needs to reconnect to reconfirm your subscription status once every ~127 days, for annual subscribers. The rest of the time you can be completely offline. For more details, please see:

      CC Internet Connectivity, Offline Grace Period, and Reminders

    • PS – If you are having any issue with downloading the installers here, then you might try with a different browser, or with another computer and/or Internet connection.

      Also, make sure you’re not blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs – or running utilities like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect. Or it could be your firewall, antivirus program (esp. Kaspersky), or other third-party security software. Adobe recommends turning those things off temporarily.

      If you continue to have difficulty, then please post back with the exact text of the error or message you’re receiving, and we should be able to help further… Or, try googling that text, and often that will turn up a solution.

    • Hi Phil, does your computer meet Adobe’s minimum requirements for the CC 2018 versions of those applications? Is it a 64-bit system?

      If so, then please post back with the exact text of the error or message you’re receiving, and we should be able to help further… Or, try googling that text, and often that will turn up a solution.

    • Thanks! We have updated the links in our site to now be Adobe Camera Raw version 10.2.1 for Windows.

      ACR 10.2.1 includes a fix for the “Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.” error on Windows only… (The latest release for macOS remains at version 10.2.)

    • On Windows: Just unzip the downloaded file into a new folder, and then run the “Set-up.exe” executable file within that folder. Feel free to remove that folder once the installation has completed.

      On Mac: Just double-click on the downloaded .dmg file to mount it on your computer and start the installation process.

    • All the CC 2018 direct downloads here will run as fully-functional free trials on your desktop computer for 7 calendar days. After that, you can sign up here for subscription to continue:

      http://www.ChooseCreativeCloud.com/

      Then, you can convert that trial version to a fully-paid release without needing to reinstall the software on your computer.
