Downloading lightroom 6 standalone

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade from lightroom 5 to lightroom 6 and do not want to be stuck with a yearly subscription.  I am looking for the link to upgrade for 79 dollars.  Can someone please advise me what my options are as I can clearly see adobe is pushing everyone to purchase CC and a subscription model.  Apologies this is my first time on these forums - so sorry if the answer should be obvious.

Thanks,

Matt

      My understanding is that you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
      -Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
      --click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
      --and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
      --as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
      ---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
      -if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
      --if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
      --the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
      -if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
      -if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor

      This only takes you to the link for a subscription download. This is a terrible policy. I can download ALL of my older software EXCEPT Lightroom 6. Adobe should be ashamed of themselves for doing this. Bought Lightroom 3, Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 6. NO MORE MONEY TO ADOBE!

        Sorry... not from Adobe... you will need to contact Amazon to be given a download link

         

        If (when?) you do get a download link, do what I said in my longer message... copy the download file to at least one external drive (or write to a DVD) to have a backup copy

          I ordered my license from Amazon in Dec 2016. I don't have the original installation files, because I lost most data on my computer. And I can't download it from Amazon's games and software library. It only shows my key there and no download button. Lightroom is a registered product on my Adobe account though. There must be some way to download it again, right?

            We Should sue Adobe. This seems like the only solution to push them let us have our bought softwear.

              Looked at this previously, but this link no longer looks to be valid. When you follow this you end up at Lightroom CC - not the standalone version of Lightroom 6

                In that case, I can only conclude that Adobe no longer sells a serial number version of Lightroom

                If it will work for you, try Photoshop Elements Easy Photo & Video Editing Software | Adobe Elements Family
