MacOS 10.14.6 - Lightroom Classic Legacy Download?

Hi. I have a CC subscription. I'm running Mac OS 10.14.6. I don't want to upgrade my OS as other software would be rendered obsolete. Is there a way of accessing legacy versions of Lightroom Classic? There is no "earlier versions" option for Lightroom Classic within the CC desktop app.

Thanks

    Adobe expects users to have the latest OS and apps, no more than TWO versions back.

     

    Please ensure your computer meets current system requirements.   Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

    • Windows 11 (64-bit), Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2, 21H1;
    • MacOS 13 (Ventura), 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur).

    This fall, Apple will release another new OS and you'll be even further behind than you are now.  

    If necessary, keep an old computer or virtual machine on hand to run legacy software.  Use a Creative Cloud on a modern OS.

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

    Thanks, appreciated. Unfortunately it seems to get stuck at the sign-in stage. Do you happen to know if there is a solution to that? I've tried here but nothing works (bar the sudo/root user solution which I'm wary of - but maybe that's the only option).  No problem if this isn't the right place/person to ask.
