How to re-download Lightroom 6?

Hi, I bought LR6 almost three years ago and didn't use it much (I've a receipt and key in my inbox). Is there any possible way that I can use this software considering the fact that Adobe has removed the dobwload optiuon from its website (I originally used this option to acquire the software). Surely the fact that I paid for the software would me some kind of legal standing.

 

Thanks in advance guys.

 

Kev.

Keep in mind that LR6 is outdated software, almost 8 years old. Given how often people upgrade computers, operating systems and camera equipment, it may not be a practical fit for you anymore.

 

When you're ready, a Photography Plan bundle is your best option.


Creative Cloud Photography Plan (approx $10/month for 12 months). Includes the following:

  • Photoshop CC and Photoshop on iPad,
  • Camera Raw,
  • Lightroom on desktop, mobile and the web,
  • Lightroom Classic (similar to LR6),
  • Portfolio website + hosting,
  • Adobe Express (free starter plan),
  • Bridge,
  • 20 GB cloud storage (upgradable to 1 TB).
  • Free updates & upgrades for as long as you subscribe.

Computer crashes happen... the FIRST time you download a program make an external copy

 

IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-you should ALWAYS keep a copy (or two!) on an external device
-since Adobe DOES SOMETIMES REMOVE OLD VERSIONS FROM THE SERVER
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a CD or DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number if you have a serial number program
