Re: Creative Cloud pops up with trail will expire in 0 days when I run Dreamweaver CS6

Here are two additional items that may be helpful:

1.    I reported that Under Step 3 “Check Your Host Files – Still Have Problems?  Reset Host Files” I did not find entries that reference activate.adobe.com.  On further checking I found the Notepad file.  It contained the following information:

Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

1. lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

1. For example:

#

1.      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server

1.       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

1. localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

1.          127.0.0.1       localhost

1.          ::1             localhost

2.    On Saturday, 23 August 2014 I received an e-mail from Adobe Creative Cloud message@adobe.com that said

This is odd.  What made them think I joined Creative Cloud? The Creative Cloud program is not installed on the computer and I have not downloaded Creative Cloud trial version or a paid version. 

GOAL: My goal is to eliminate the CC pop up that occurs every time I access Dreamweaver CS6. I am satisfied with Dreamweaver CS6.  I do not want to lose the CS6 capability.  I do not want Creative Cloud trial version or the paid version. 

So far I have been unable to remove the pop up and I can’t find a way to phone or e-mail Adobe Technical Support.  When I received the CC Welcome message, I considered the following approach:

1.    Accept the invitation to Get Started and install the 30-day trial version

2.    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to uninstall Creative Cloud. 

This approach might work.  It is equally possible it would further complicate the problem.

Should I accept the CC invitation to Get Started with CC and then use CC Cleaner to uninstall the Creative Cloud program?  Is there an alternative approach that will work?

Thank you.
