Lightroom 5.7 download

I have the same issue now... I bought Lightroom 5 in 2013 and I am a very occasional user on an old iMac running with MacOS Catalina. I don't need new features but somehow my install seems now broken (for some reason it can't import new picture anymore and the progress bar remains stuck at the beginning). I would be happy to reinstall my old Lightroom 5 but all download options vanished... My license can be found under "my products" but instead of a download link, I simply get "Lightroom 5 -- This installer is no longer available"

I don't need subscription for hundreds of USD/EUR a year, and I chose to buy a non-subscription-based version because I am such a sporadic user that it was not worth the money for me, plus I neither need nor want cloud services for my pictures. The install was made online and at no occasion there was something telling me "make sure to store a copy of the installer/app because after a while you won't be able to download it anymore". The possibility to reinstall the old app was just removed, I guess in the hope of making former clients move to the subscription model.

I am sorry Adobe, but that it just not an acceptable way to deal with your customers! You might convince me at some point to move for a subscription model by giving me positive arguments to why it would be better for me, but certainly by preventing me from reinstalling a previous version of the software, that I paid for! As a non-professional so sporadic user, I am certainly not as captive as most of Adobe's customers and would certainly go for alternative products, instead of buying a new license or subscription from Adobe for such a reason. Besides, a company that provides 1 TB cloud storage as part of its paid subscriptions can certainly accomodate a few downloads of a former version of their software from their servers.

its registered, but the produkt does not appear. i purchased it via amazon ..

Adobe won't give you a file that works. They'll give you a CC version and then you'll get an error message. Then support will try and tell you that it's because you have a Mac and LR 5.7.1 won't work. But it's because they give you the wrong file! Luckily I found the 5.7.1 version from when I updated a couple of years ago and it works. Not the one that one that Adobe chat support is giving out. They want you to subscribe to CC as there is no other reason they won't give you a file that works.

Oh and how about the offer of LR 6 trial version for 30 days? Why in the world would they offer an outdated version? LR 6 trial version will load CC and then you'll never get older versions to work. 

Just click to Download- there is only Version 5.7.1 available.

This is the Windows download:
