Lightroom Classic.

Question

I bought this in 2011, many laptops ago. I now have need for this (at the time) expensive software, and do have my license key. Talking to 'technical Team' they tell me I can upgrade to a monthy plan, or go away.

Is it possible to use the sw I purchased or is the reality that an outright purchase from back in the 'old days' ! is just not valid. Thanks

For which version of Lightroom do you have a license?

Older versions are not compatible with the latest macOS Catalina, Big Sur or Monterey. Neither will legacy apps be tested on Win11.

That said, CS5 and CS6 are on life support. But they can still be activated providing you have the following:
1. your original media (disks or downloads) you received at purchase and a way to read them,
2. a legitimate serial number for that version, language and platform (Win/Mac) and if it was an upgrade, a qualifying serial number from an older product,
3. an older operating system that can support legacy 32-bit apps.

NOTE 1 : Creative Suite installers won't work on macOS Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave without terminal workarounds. See the help article below.
