    Downloads available:

    Download and installation help for Adobe links

    Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

    Have you been able to download a free lightroom 5 standalone?

    I gave up and moved to the free DarkTable app.  As far as I can tell, Adobe has abandoned people running standalone Lightroom - they haven't fully updated it for 64-bit OSX releases (Catalina and later) - the only option seems to be a wildly expensive subscription, far beyond the budgets of amateur users.

    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

    Sadly, this all works until I click the Download link - http://esd.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/osx10/Lightroom_5_LS11.dmg - which then shows me an error :

    I'm trying to download Lightroom 5 back onto my computer.  I don't want a CC cloud plan, I want to use what I have but none of the links in this feed are working for me.  Can I have an updated link?
