Hi Everybody.

 

Does anybody know if it is still possible to download older versions of Lightroom? My computer cannot be upgraded past 10.15 so I can no longer install or use LR, even though I pay for the subscription.

 

You used to be able to download older versions but all it says in CC now is System Incompatible.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

"Adobe has launched a new online portal to download the standalone installers...."  (The 'Portal' link goes to the forum and an 'Account Management' link.)

This is from an article at this ProDesignTools site. (Legitimate and trustworthy).

https://prodesigntools.com/get-adobe-direct-download-links.html

And-

"....you have to contact Customer Care directly and request offline installers for Creative Cloud apps...."

I would be interested to hear any feedback about the 'online portal' if anyone tries it.

 

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Are you talking about Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)?

 

First you need to identify what version NUMBER of Lightroom/Lightroom Classic will run on your computer. Adobe lists all the system requirements for older versions: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/system-requirements/earlier-versions.html

 

Then you probably can get the download link by calling Adobe and asking for the download link for whatver version NUMBER works. (At least, that's what I have heard here in this forum, I have not actually tried)
