Question

Installing Lightroom 4 on a new computer?

After being transferred between 6 people on the chat help, I was advised to reach out here. I just got a new computer and am hoping to transfer Lightroom 4 from my old computer. Is there a way download the old software? Also, I was informed my serial number is reflected as "returned" - though it was not, I have used it for 7 years without issue, and I can still pull up the purchase (Amazon) with the indication that the return window expired. So if the download is possible - I'm hoping I can continue to use the serial number.

 

I understand that the software is now offered via the cloud. I have tried this, but had to delete it from my computer because Adobe seemed to be over-utilizing the processor even when it wasn't opened.

Here you'll find the download link for LR 4.4 for Windows.

And here's the link for the Mac-Version.

But I think LR 4 is very old and doesn't run on modern operating systems, especially on MacOS.

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 9 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

It seems that Adobe is no longer making those older versions available for download. What operating system are you using on this new computer?
