I used to be able to use my purchased lightroom 6.  Havent used it in a while and now after asking to be logged in 20 times it does nothing. Now it locked me out as well.  I have my password, have my previous purchased serial number and entered that. It still wont work.  I dont want to update to the cloud and all of that.  Want to use the old version that I had access to and was fine with. 

 

My mom passed away 2 days, ago. Wanted to update a few pics and add to her photo collage.  Login 20 times, put the serial number, it locks me out.  Try to contact customer support its a stupid AI bot that does nothing.  So much new technology and nothing works, cant even get an email from adobe as it says I dont have an active account, yet I am logged in and it shows my previous purchases.  Such crappy support I cant believe it.

I am having the same problem.  Got a new laptop and I've installed the DVD successfully, but it keeps asking me for my Adobe password, put that in but the app won't launch.  HELP!!

Lightroom 6 is obsolete software that's been unsupported for several years. That's why Adobe can't help you.

Photoshop Elements (3 year license, no subscription needed).

P.S. I'm sorry about the loss of your mom.

It still doesnt work. Was about to sign in. Tried to launch from my computer. It installed the files, added the serial # and it says launch button to launch the application and it does nothing.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

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 (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
