I am confused about the name Lightroom Classic CC. I thought there were two versions: Lightroom CC, which would be the current, cloud based version of Lightroom, with the icon LRLightroom Classic, which would be the old, client based version, with the icon LrC But in many cases people also refer to Lightroom Classic CC, and when searching the support pages, I find a check box for "Adobe Lightroom Classic" under the category "Creative Cloud". What is the actual different between those "three"?

I am confused about the name Lightroom Classic CC. I thought there were two versions:

Lightroom CC, which would be the current, cloud based version of Lightroom, with the icon LR
Lightroom Classic, which would be the old, client based version, with the icon LrC

But in many cases people also refer to Lightroom Classic CC, and when searching the support pages, I find a check box for "Adobe Lightroom Classic" under the category "Creative Cloud".

What is the actual different between those "three"?

While Your answer may have been correct at the time, but may have changed since your answer, I just want to update for others to know.

Today I was about to chat with Adobe, I wondered why the chat gave showed me buttons for selecting between "Lighrtoom Classic" and "Lightroon CC".

I therefore asked the agent an additional question about the currect definition of the Cloud based Lightroom, and he answered that it is (currently) called Lightroom CC.
