Verify Included Apps via Adobe Account Details
The most accurate way to see what you have paid for is by checking your active plan entitlements directly on the Adobe website.
Your Adobe account dashboard lists the exact applications and cloud services tied to your specific subscription tier. Checking this page prevents you from accidentally starting trials for software that requires an additional fee.
Go to the Adobe Account portal (account.adobe.com) in your web browser and sign in using your Adobe ID and password.
Navigate to the 'Plans and payment' tab located at the top of the dashboard.
Click on 'View plan details' next to your active subscription (e.g., Creative Cloud All Apps, Photography Plan, or Acrobat Pro).
Scroll through the list of 'Included Applications and Services' to see exactly which apps are fully licensed for your use.
Check App Status in the Creative Cloud Desktop App
You can quickly determine which apps are included by looking at how they are categorized within the Creative Cloud desktop client.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Premiere Rush show up if I only have the Photography plan?
The Creative Cloud desktop app acts as a universal hub for all Adobe software. Even if your plan only covers Photoshop and Lightroom, other applications like Premiere Rush will still be displayed. However, they will operate as free trials or require a separate purchase to unlock premium features.
Does the Acrobat Pro plan include any other Creative Cloud creative apps?
No. An Acrobat-only plan generally includes Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Document Cloud services. It does not include creative applications like Illustrator, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro.
What exactly is included in the Creative Cloud All Apps plan?
The All Apps plan includes over 20 creative applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Acrobat Pro, and InDesign, along with cloud storage and full access to Adobe Fonts.
Can I hide apps that are not included in my Adobe plan?
Currently, the Creative Cloud desktop app does not allow you to completely hide applications that aren't in your plan. Instead, Adobe categorizes them under distinct sections like 'Trials' or 'Available in your plan' to help you distinguish what you have access to.
