CCMaker is an (old) tool to download and install Adobe software directly from server without junk. You can even download the installation package offline on your system. No Creative Cloud necessary. During installation you can uncheck the bloat like CoreSync, CAI, CCX Process, UXP WebView Support... CCMaker is not recommended by Reddit, because of "blabla false virus report and we are unable to deal with it". After installation, you need creating an empty "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\IPCBox\AdobeIPCBroker.exe" file. Otherwise some programs crash on start. And you need to install Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes (best from abbodi1406). Both things usually comes with Creative Cloud that we avoid at this point. After setup all, simply activate with GenP. No account required, No popup, no "Adobe Genuine Service", whatever. GenP is currently 3.2.0 Community version (from cg persia. Sadly, I have never seen that forum open for registration), CCMaker is 1.3.16 from ru-board. You should find both fine by searching.
wow that's really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I'll look into it
