Need help to reinstall LR 5.7.4 on my laptop. Have valid license and perpetual plan on old PC which "died." Thankfully able to recover 20K+ photos from hard drive, but don't have CD or other media because I purchased this plan years ago via download. Customer Support referred me to this forum today.

Suggestions?

Which Operating System do you have now?

Win11 might make this a no-can-do.

Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions

-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will

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 external hard drive, or write to a DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number if you have CS6/CS5 or Elements
