P: Information regarding Lightroom 6.x (Pre-LrClassic)

Yester day i already opened a question - can't be found anymore:

Lightroom 6.14 starts only with limited features - loging in does not work. Features keep limited and login is requested again again (always succesful) until account is locked.

The suggestion from yesterday was to try offline install - switch off internet.

Tried to reinstall from Lightroom_6_LS11.exe with offline computer can get around login until installation is finished (key was provided). After pressing start application i get "login reuired" can only press cancel or retry. - no option for no internet only a link to http://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated_de is provided.

pressing retry gets me again to this point. cancel just ends the program.

So how to install Lightroom_6_LS11.exe ?

Lately i've got a warning on start of lightroom 6.14 that i have only limited features and hav to check my account.

So id did check from within lightroom and of cause see my product:

So the feature are restricted but don't know why. Then i tried:

- log out and login again. but this did not help. only know check my account was greyed out in menu. Clicking "log out" - i was just given a new login screen (a qr and a link). i always loged in successfully. on a certain point my account was locked due to too many log in events.

- the i decided to uninstall light room and installed it again from "Lightroom_6_LS11.exe". Installation wen fine. i chose i bought it, needed to login again, gave my license key. But after installation "succesful" i wanted to start - agin login screen. Log in went fine but - noting happens, lightroom is not starting.

Tried it again: login again - no start until account is locked.

So how to start lightroom 6.14 - or get around the login.

Tengo Lightroom 6 para Mac y lo he usado durante bastantes años.

Mi iMac tuvo un problema de software después de años de uso y tuve que restablecer el sistema en el servicio técnico oficial de Apple.

Al ir al ordenador de nuevo, no me deja reinstalar la versión 6, así que estoy gtrabajando con la versiòn 5, que es más lenta y no tiene algunas funciones interesantes de la versión 6,

El soporte técnico de Adobe me dice que está descatalogado y no pueden hacer nada al respecto. Me gustaría saber si alguien tiene una solución al problema. 

También por correo mcc.callero@gmail.com

Gracias.

thirst trapI have Lightroom 6 for Mac and have used it for quite a few years.
My iMac had a software problem after years of use and I had to reset the system at the official Apple service centre.
When I go to the computer again, it won't let me reinstall version 6, so I'm working with version 5, which is slower and doesn't have some interesting features of version 6,
Adobe support tells me it's discontinued and they can't do anything about it. I would like to know if anyone has a solution to the problem.

Bonjour, impossible depuis plusieurs jours de réinstaller Lightroom 6.0 (CD) après réinstallation de Windows 11 sur mon PC. Réponse invariable, quelle que soit la procédure utilisée : "Le programme dinstallation n'a pas pu s'initialiser.  TéléchargezAdobe SupportAdvisor. pour identifier le problème." (qui n'existe plus)

J’ai suivi la procédure proposée dans le forum : recours à Adobe creative cloud cleaner / Adobe creative cloud / Adobe application manager) et ai téléchargé une version (qui n'existe plus sur le site Adobe) via le lien fourni par le forum mais échec systématique.

Y a-t-il eu du nouveau côté blocages chez Adobe en 2025 ?

Entschuldigt bitte, dass ich das Thema zum x-ten mal in einem Thread öffne aber der Adobe-Support sieht es als einzige Lösung des Problems einen weiteren Beitrag im Forum dazu zu schreiben. Ich habe meinen Rechner vor kurzem zurückgesetzt und erhalte beim installieren von LR6 nun die Fehlermeldung:

"Die Seriennummer xy wird bereits von der maximal zulässigen Anzahl von Computern verwendet. Sie müssen einen anderen Computer deaktivieren [...]."
Da mein alter Rechner aber platt ist, habe ich keine Möglichkeit mehr die Aktivierung zurückzusetzen.

Was ich versucht habe:

- Adobe Account Gründlich durchwühlt

- In diesem Thread hat @CMass Nutzern geholfen das Problem zu lösen. Ich habe eine PM geschrieben aber noch keine Antwort erhalten.
- Wenn man bei dem Chatbot nach einem Mitarbeiter fragt, kann man immerhin mal mit einem echten Menschen reden. Nach langem hin und her und auch der Nachfrage nach einem Manager, wird nur auf Webseiten verwiesen die nicht helfen, vorgeschalgen im Forum zu fragen oder gesagt das dabei nicht geholfen werden kann.

I have a paid for licence for Lightroom Version 6
Where can I download the software?

I really don't feel like paying agian for software I have already purchased 

Hi, I have a question. Always used my Adobe ligthroom 6 on my macbook with OS mojave. But since last week, it won't start anymore :-(. I didn't make changes to any maps etc. So, anyone any idea what could be the problem. Didn't back-up for a while (yes I know...) , so this feels really inconvenient.... Any thoughts that might bring it back to life?

Hi,

After buying a new computer, I've installed my version of Lightroom 6.12 again. When I try to open LR 6.12, LR says that Adobe Application Manager is needed. It can't be found or is damaged. I have to download a new version of Adobe Application Manager at http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanger_nl (al in Dutch, so I don't know if the translation is exactly right). 

When I go to that adress, I end up at https://www.adobe.com/nl/creativecloud/desktop-app.html. I have dowloaded and installed Creative Cloud. Unfortunatly is doesn't solve the problem. When I try to open LR, i get the same notification about Adobe Application Manager. I've also tried to open LR from within Creative Cloud, but the same notification again. 

Anyone knows how to solve this?? Al my photo's from many years are in LR 6.12 😞 Thanks in advance!

I bought a Lightroom 6.0 pertetual license for Mac and PC (using on Mac OS 10.10.5) years ago for $149. Updated it to 6.14. Use it occasionally, and it has more than enough feature for me. Had to re-install OS and re-installed 6.0 from orginal installer file, but I can't find the 6.14 update files I used, and need it to read ACR images from RX100m4. Does anyone still have the 6.14 update file? So hard to find. Adobe says they don't have a link for it anymore, and suggested I ask here. None of the links in existing posts work anymore. I figure I'll have to get it from someone willing to put it a shared drive for me. Would be very grateful if anyone out there could be bothered to do that. Thanks! James

I have Lightroom 6.14 on a hard drive, which I am moving into a brand new computer. My question is will it need to be deactivated on the old one, and reactivated on the new one? 
If it does need de/reactivated how do I go about that please?
