Can you not use Adobe offline?

No. They check validation constantly with their daemon and while you can technically loop it back using hacks, no studio is doing that.

They are considered malware at this point. The telemetry they collect the fact that your machine has to run a slew of daemons and that they are binding it all behind your mandatory Adobe account that has all your financial details, kinda shows how users rights are in the dark ages digitally speaking.

Yeah I'm just gonna stick with Vimeo...

Nope. Creative Cloud requires internet access for DRM.

No idea, I haven't used anything form that company in about 7 years.

You don't have to save your files to Adobe cloud, if that's what you mean. It does check for a valid license occasionally, but I've used Photoshop when my internet was out without any problems in the past.
