Hello! I want to install LR 6 - yes, the old one...

My last installation was about 5 years ago, now I want to give it another chance. 

After Installation I get the message: max installations - deactivate device. But my account says: No devices activated. 

SerialNo of LR ist registered.

Thx, Mike

If you can't deactivate a serial number you have to contact the Adobe support. Only they can reset the activation counter.

 

This is a public forum and not the link to Adobe support. We're all normal users as you are. 

Sorry, nobody here can help with an account or payment problems 

 

Be sure to remain signed in with your Adobe ID before accessing the link 
Do be aware that Adobe's staffing is impacted by the virus, so wait times are long 
-make sure that your browser does NOT block ads, scripts, or pop-ups 
-you must also allow 'cookies' in your web browser for the link to work 
This link will go directly to the chat option 
Type "Agent" in the chat box to bypass the chatbot and be connected to a person

BE SURE TO ONLY ASK FOR ACTIVATION SUPPORT TO ADJUST YOUR ACTIVATION COUNT 
You may need to PERSIST or TRY AGAIN to find a support agent with more experience

Ok, the cookies were a problem..

And now:

"I understand M, The product can be used by the User for a lifetime.
However the Team who used to support with such queries for unsupported products is no longer available."

When you can't deactivate a serial number (this is the ONLY support Adobe still offers for old programs)
BE SURE TO ONLY ASK FOR ACTIVATION SUPPORT TO ADJUST YOUR ACTIVATION COUNT
You may need to PERSIST or TRY AGAIN to find a support agent with more experience
