Is there a way to get Lightroom Classic v. 12.6?

Is there a way to get an earlier version of Lightroom Classic (for example, v. 12.6)? In the Creative Cloud I can't find anything previous to v. 13.0.

Just so you know for the future, the reason for that is Adobe has a posted policy of supporting and providing only the last two major versions for installation in the Creative Cloud app. For Lightroom Classic, right now that means versions 14 and 13.

 

So getting an older version like 12 requires other means such as what Rob_Cullen suggested.

I’m trying to ask to Adobe Support a version newer than 10, like the 12.6, but they’re answering that the 10 is the stabler one and don’t give me that one, They suggested me to ask to Community so here I am. Is there any chance to have the 12.6 version of Lightroom Classic?

The only way to get 12.6 is to talk to Adobe and keep trying. It may depend on trying several times, getting an agent who knows how to provide it, and is willing to provide it. Don’t let them lie to you that LrC 10 is more stable, that’s ridiculous.

The only way known is to contact Adobe Support and ask for the download. (Subscription ius required)

Contact adobe support by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

In the chat field (lower right of screen), Typing “Agent” into the chat text field will bypass the initial chatbot.
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human
If you are not able to get to the chat window, then disable your ad-blockers, firewall, enable cookies/scripts on your browser. If it still fails then change your browser/machine/network.

If you're contacted via email or private message, it's more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. Double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an {adobe.com} domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. Any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-com...
