Hi

 

I need to reinstall my Lightroom (I purchased version 4), but after I log in on my profile, I find the software I have purchased, but it says that the installer is no longer available. How can I get the installer for the software that I purchased?

I know it's old, but it does what I need. Unfortunatly the latest version is only available as a subscription. For someone not using the software a lot, it's very expensive. I think I payed for my version the same as only 4 months subscription.

If the link WobertC provided works for you, be sure to do what I said and copy the download to at least one external device to have a backup in case your computer drive ever malfunctions... with, of course, a text file containing your serial number

    If you are able to download the installer

     

    Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10
    -RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
    -and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

    When you purchase any program via download you should always make a copy to an external device... or two

     

    Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
    -you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
    -https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
    -the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process
    --will only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
    .
    IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
    -since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
    -a usb flash drive or hard drive, or write to a DVD
    -plus a text file containing your serial number
