Hi, I've just purchased Lightroom plan, but my old Mac doesn't support it. I tried installing LR 5, but it would require a licence key, which I don't have. I'm now on £9.95 /month plan, but haven't been able to use the software at all. Please help!

Make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements. Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

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

Unfortunately, High Sierra is not supported.  It's fully 5 OS versions back now.  Adobe expects users to have current equipment & software no more than 2 versions back.

You can request a refund within 14 days of downloading.  After that there is 50% termination fee.

the cc desktop app should offer a compatible lr. install the cc desktop app from here https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud and use it to install your adobe subscription and trial programs. 

 

if you have trouble downloading the cc desktop app or you see an error message when trying to install, make sure you have a compatible os (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html), and use the alternative download links at page bottom here, https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html
