Light Room 4 Installer Not Available

Hi first time here.   Appreciate any help.

 

I purchased Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 in 20213 (full version not online) . 

 

Replaced this computer recently and tried to install on Windows 11 from my products page but it says the installer is not available.   

 

Is there anyway to obtain it again?   It wasn't cheap $150 US and was still functioning and suited my purposes. 

 

I tried to contact Adobe support but you have to have an active plan?   Is there no way to contact support?  

 

I'd even purchase/upgrade to a new version but there are only online plans now which I would rather not subscribe to.   Any options to get the full latest version to install on my new PC ?

    Lightroom 4 has been released in 2012. The latest version available as a perpetual license was version 6 in 2015.

    Since about then, Lightroom is only available with a subscription, i.e. the Photography Plan, which is rather moderate in cost. Older versions will also not support newer cameras and lenses.

    As the PC/software is an integral and important part of digital photography, I suggest to look into the Photography Plan . IMHO, compared to the cost of the gear of most photographers, the cost for the Adobe subscription is rather minimal for such an important part of the workflow ... just my 0.02.

    Btw.: Adobe will not support you in any way for such an old version.

    Although I agree with @F. McLion , a better decision is to use modern software (Lightroom Classic 13.1) and get all the advantages it has, rather than stick with 12 year old tools.

      WRONG ANSWER!!! If you paid for any software as a permanent license, not a subscription, you are entitled to download it and use it for as long as you have a machine that will run it. Adobe is not expected to keep updating the software for you, and if you purchased it in a physical form, they cannot be expected to host the installers for you.

       

      But if you purchased a downloadable product with a permanent license, you're entitled to have the installer available for at least a few decades, as long as you keep an old machine up and running that can successfully run the software. Like me, I bought Lightroom 4 in 2012 as a downloadable, permanent license. Perhaps I have the installer somewhere in some backup, I don't know. But I should be able to log into my account and get it from there. 

       

      However, the higher ups at Adobe are so stupid that they assume that when I can't find the installer, my reaction will be "Oh, Golly! I guess I'll have to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud now." But it's not, it only strengthens my hatred for Adobe and their despicable practices that got them in trouble with the government.

       

      So because I like a challenge, I will find the installer online somewhere or in old backups and that's it. Adobe won't get a cent of my money ever again.

        I agree with you sire.   I will NEVER ever in my lifetime deal with ADOBE again.
