Want to upgrade from LR 5 to 6 on this PC.

I purchased LR 6 some time ago to get RAW compatibility for my Sony A7R II.  It is installed on a different computer and LR 5.7 is installed on this one.  I want to upgrade to 6 on this computer.  I can't seem to get past the Creative Cloud to get 'er done.  I know it is ignorance on my part, but can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Both LR CC and 6 are exactly the same program. Same download, same files get installed on your system. The difference comes from how you sign in.

    So download the CC version, install it, then when you Sign In with your Adobe ID that is NOT Associated with a Subscription plan it will ask you to input the Serial number.

    Are there any messages?

    Where exactly does it stop?

    The OS needs to be 64-Bit to be able to install LR6.
