Hi, my LR 6 crashed again. It has done it many times already within a few days. After restarting, it tries to repair the corrupted catalog and has always been successful in the past. Today it no longer managed to fix it. I restored the previous version of Timemachine from the catalogs, but Lightroom refuses to open them either. Every time I open Lightroom, a small and empty gray window appears after its small pictorial logo window. I can't even create a new catalog either. How can I fix this? I also tried reinstalling this Lightroom but I can't activate it. It apparently doesn't get an Internet connection to Adobe's server, because the Internet connection works normally.

Try placing a recent backup of your catalog file on a different disk and see if it will open. Do not copy one of the backups that refuses to open. Get a copy of your backup catalog file from Time Machine and put that directly on the different disk.

So, you're all over the place. You start by talking about Lr6 and corrupted catalogs not being repaired. You also talk about CS6 and activation. I don't really know what the problem is.

Thank you, but I have Photoshop cs6 not Lightroom. My Lightroom 6 works well in 10.13 high sierra and there was no any activation problem.
