Trouble opening Lightroom 6.0 (on Windows)

I've been running Lightroom 6.0 for some 8 years and it's been working just fine.  As of two days ago, I can't open the program.  When I attempt to do so, I receive a sign-in dialog box reference a 30 day free trial of  Lightroom by subscription.  This situation may have developed because, some three months ago, I did sign up for the subscription deal for a new computer I then purchased.  Dissatisfied with that new computer, I returned it and cancelled my Lightroom subscription after just one month.  Question -- how can I open my Lightroom 6.0 software?  Any help much appreciated.  Thanks,  Bill

Some comments-

-There have been several reports of v6.0 not opening in Windows. Although v6.14 seems more stable, but no longer supported and fast losing functionality in new Operating Systems. Download here-Lightroom 6 End of Support 

- The existence of Creative Cloud Desktop App on a system changes v6 to the 'Subscription' version. You would need to 'Clean' you system of Adobe files and re-install v6.14 to continue as 'Perpetual'.

CLEANER TOOL

- And also Activations (two maximum) can only be changed by a Chat with Support.
