Need link to download TRIAL version of LR6.  I own standalone LR5.  Don't want CC.  Link to check for update embedded in LR5.7 takes user to CC.

Sure, here are the direct links to the standalone trial installer:

Adobe Lightroom 6/CC Direct Download Links

As Jeff mentioned, if you want LR6 instead of CC then you can follow the instructions in the link he posted to convert the free CC trial to Lightroom 6 perpetual.

I‌ have already gone through that process of Serializing. The reason I have to uninstall an reinstall is that something went wrong during installation. That's already been confirmed. I can't find any sites that explain how to uninstall/reinstall Lr6 standalone.

Well, typically you would just use your operating system's uninstall command, reboot your machine, and then reinstall the program from scratch.

You could try that, and also add in the use of the Adobe Cleaner Tool if you like:

Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

It works for Lightroom as well, and makes sure to remove all traces of an installation.

Hope that helps.

So I would have to go through the Serialization after reinstall it?

Thanks so much! I hope this works too.

I bought the Lr6 standalone for $79. It automatically comes with CC trial . To remove the CC trial so you can have just your Lr6 requires a process. If I find it again, I'll post it, but I'm sure someone will have that posted soon. It's a pain and I think Adobe makes it a pain because they want us to buy the full Lr6 CC Version. 

If anyone here knows how to uninstall and reinstall the Lr6 standalone, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi Rosanna, it's actually the same program and you don't need to uninstall or reinstall anything.  It's just that licensing and branding changes for the software you already have installed...

The only trial version is Lightroom CC...you can buy the LR6 standalone version but there is not standalone trial.

To build on Jeff's answer: You can use the LR CC 2015 free trial, and if you like it, you can buy a perpetual-license serial number and convert the free trial to a standalone version.   See this help: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6

Got no idea about trial version, and also makes me crazy. At least I got somehow to buy it with UPGRADE price. WIthout the chance of using a trial version and TEST before buying.
It's really annoying how Adobe turns its back to the old-n-not-so-rich customers. But still customers. And paying...
