Hi, I have just reinstalled windows and I can't work out how to reinstall my copy of lightroom 5.  I have a boxed copy (no CD drive though) and a serial number.  I think my Adobe accound on the web says I have lightroom under products, but the only installs seem to be CC.  I installed the CC client and it only offers a trial of Lightroom.   

 

How do I install lightroom 5?  I'm not insterested in a monthly subscription.

You can try contacting Adobe by clicking on the link I'm providing. There's a little circle in the lower right-hand corner that will enable you to initiate a live chat. Be aware, however, that the installation disk will only install Lightroom 5.0. Your next challenge will be to attempt to get the final update which was Lightroom 5.7.1. Adobe seems to have made it very difficult to obtain older versions and updates. You indicate that you have the serial number. Does that number beginning with 1160? If it doesn't, then it isn't the serial number. Here is the link where you can initiate a live chat:

Thanks, it does start with 1160.  I'll try the link you gave if the download Johnrellis suggests below doesn't work.
