How to Update to LR Classic Version 11

I have LR Classic Version 6.14 at present which works quite well,

but I want to update to Version 11. I do not want the cloud version.

But I am confused as to how I should proceed. 

I understand there is a Photography Plan as well. This must be the subscription and includes Photoshop?

Is it LR Classic 11 and Photoshop 23?

What is the best way to order?

I am afraid of losing my catalogues in the process so would appreciate your help .

Please note that Lightroom Classic is not a 'cloud version'. It installs from the cloud and you pay for it though subscription, but that is all. All your images are stored locally and the application also runs locally. Just like Lightroom 6.

The only way to get Lighroom Classic is to subscribe to the Photography plan. ($10 a month)

It includes latest versions of Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (Cloud), Photoshop, and 20 GB storage.

See https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom-classic.html

There is also a plan at $20 a month with more storage, which is probably not what you want.

 

Start by installing the Creative Cloud Desktop App, that you use to download and install Photoshop and Lightroom Classic.

You will not lose your catalog, LrC will upgrade a copy of your catalog to the new format.

Make sure your computer meets the system tequirements.

Thank you for your replies. One question though. Once you decide to stop the monthly payment/subscription do you lose your catalogue? I expect the payment amount will change and could be a good reason to stop.

No, you will never lose your catalog. Lightroom Classic will continue to function, but the develop and map modules will become disabled.
