Key notes
Adobe PremierePro is the industry standard for video editing and used in film, TV and the web.
With the help of creative tools, third-party and Adobe Suite integration, and Adobe Sensei’s power, you can craft footage into polished films.
That said, being a part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite, installingAdobe PremierePro requires you to install the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app first.
Once installed, you can install other Adobe software likeAdobe PremierePro, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
Now, what if you want todownloadAdobe PremierePro without the Creative Cloud?
For the uninitiated, Adobe has stopped releasing the standalone installer forAdobe PremierePro, Photoshop, and Illustrator. However, you can stilldownloadAdobe Lightroom as a standalone appfrom the Windows Store.
How do I download Adobe Premiere Pro without Creative Cloud?

2. Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app
Restart your computer. After the restart, run the Adobe Premier Pro offline installer to install the app without the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Creative Cloud is essential for stable Adobe software performance
Unlike Adobe Lightroom, that is offered as a standalone app in Microsoft Store, other Adobe apps likeAdobe PremierePro still require the users todownloadit via Creative Cloud app.
Creative Cloud is an Adobe desktop client that allows you to manage 20+ Adobe apps.
You can launch and update your desktop apps, manage and share your assets stored in Creative Cloud, synch files with your Adobe cloud account, and more.
Removing or uninstalling Adobe Creative Cloud will leave you with no option to updateAdobe PremierePro and other apps, manage Adobe Fonts and more.
However, if you still prefer to installAdobe PremierePro without Creative Cloud, you can use the workaround listed above to get a directdownloadlink by contacting Adobe support.
3.Stop Creative Cloud background process
Creative Cloud, by default, will start automatically after every restart. In some instances, the CC background process can take up more system resources than required.
To fix the problem, you can disable the app from the Startup apps tab.
If the app still starts after the restart, check outadditional steps to stop Creative Cloud from running at startup.
Adobe’s Creative Cloud desktop app is required for almost all the Adobe software, includingAdobe PremierePro.
However, if the CC desktop client is causing system resource usage issues, you can disable it from the startup apps tab.
While you can still remove Creative Cloud using Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, once uninstaller other Adobe apps associated with the tool will stop responding.
