No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
Your Creative Cloud files are stored on your desktop as well as on the Creative Cloud servers. If you cancel or downgrade your paid membership, you will still have access to all of the files in the Creative Cloud folder on your computer and via the Creative Cloud website.
Your account will be downgraded to a free membership, which includes 2GB of storage. If you’re using more than 2GB of storage, you will not be able to upload any new files to the cloud until the amount of online space used in your account drops below your allotted amount.
If you are over your storage limit, you have 90 days to reduce your online usage or you may lose access to some or all of your files saved on the Creative Cloud servers.
No, you can continue using your current version of the product as long as you have an active membership. You have flexibility on when and if you install a new release.

Background
I have a legal Adobe Photoshop CS6 serial number. I have downloaded the Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe website. I have installed it with my legal serial number. Everything until now is fine. When I open my Photoshop CS6, it asks me to sign in with an Adobe ID, which I do not wish to.
How to use Photoshop CS6 without an Adobe ID?
(Optional) For those who wish to know the reasons, here are they:
- I do not have an Adobe ID, as I was using Photoshop CS5, which has never forced me to sign in/get one.
- Privacy concern that I do not wish to sign in.
- Most likely I will forget my Adobe ID. What will happen if I forget (not only the password, but both the password and the ID, and also the email linked to it) and I need to reinstall my computer or move my Photoshop to another new computer?
Regardless my reasons, I believe we should not be forced to get an Adobe ID.
Workarounds
The best way would be disabling the 'ask for ID' dialogue and just let me use the program, by altering some files/registry or blocking the Internet connection, etc. But I have been searching for whole day and it seems no solution works out there yet.
Then I start thinking about some workarounds. IF it is really not possible to disable the 'ask for ID' thing, I tend to registry a dummy Adobe ID. If so, my concern would be:
At the time when I need to install my Photoshop CS6 again, can I use the same serial number with another new dummy Adobe ID?
I guess this question applies to all Adobe products that forces us to have an Adobe ID.
