After my access expires, what happens? Will my projects be lost?

See here for a complete list of programs.
How many licenses do I have with my access?
You have two licenses for each Creative Cloud app, so you can install each program on up to two devices.
I don’t have a lot of space on my computer. Do I need to download all of the programs in Creative Cloud?
No, you do not need to download all of the programs in Creative Cloud. Once you download the Creative Cloud Installer and log in with your Adobe ID, you’ll be able to choose which programs you’d like to install from the Creative Cloud dashboard.
I have older versions of Adobe programs on my computer. Will I lose my saved projects if I download Creative Cloud?
No, downloading Creative Cloud will not erase any of your old versions of Adobe programs. Once you log in to your Adobe Creative Cloud account, you will see all versions of the Adobe programs that you have downloaded on that device, with the option to erase or update as needed.
