This is my first experience with virtual machines, so I want to make sure I understand what you mean by an "instance" of a virtual machine. I have two Creative Cloud memberships I've bought the second membership specifically to be able to use Windows on my Mac in a virtual machine. This has taken up entirely too much time allready. In network terms, there is apparently no "route to host". And apparently no-one cares enough to spend a little time to look into it. One side of Adobe says "Sure, everything is OK with VM's" and the other side says "No, we don't support it". I can not go about installing and removing Bootcamp every time I need to run beta-software. The thing that drives me nuts is that cleary VM's are a tried and true way of running applications. No updates can be installed which is bad, but could potentially solve someones problem on the short term.
Downloading the Trial installer for InDesign works great. I am still going to run a test with VM-ware fusion as soon as that has downloaded. At this point it is clear to me, there is an issue with the Adobe Creative Cloud App in combination with Parallels. I can see everything, even my behance portfolio, but NOT download software. From there, I tried logging in to Creative Cloud and downloading InDesign CC. I have tested by installing a non-CCM version of Indesign (the application I need in this case) and Adobe Application Manager works like a charm! Updating, everything works fine. Those that did have it working, seemed to all have installed their machines before May. Some people had it working, whilst others had the same issue as I did. When discussing this internally, there were two general directions. I have gone and verrified every possible SSL and http connection based on a support document that is stated on one of these threads on the forum. On that thought, I figured the issue might be with Parallels tools and decided to test with a Fresh VM with Windows 7 and uninstall Parallels tools. Except if you want to screen-record with your Mac application. This completely destroys the flexibility of a VM, but is at least workable. You then have to go back and uninstall Parallels tools for updating to work when you boot from Bootcamp. Taking a Bootcamp partition and transferring it to Parallels breaks updating. Testing stuff in Bootcamp is just not practical. 
So I spent some more time on this, 'cause despite Adobe's "we don't support VM's", some of us need VM's.
