I previously tried the free trial a couple of years ago. Now that I have purchased lightroom CC and trying to install this onto my computer, its installing the previous version. How do I install the latest version onto my computer?

      That would have been what is now called Lightroom Classic CC.

      In late 2017, Adobe split Lightroom into two completely separate products: CC (Cloud based, no catalog) and Classic CC (desktop based with catalog). Which one have you purchased?

      You have posted in the Cloud based Lightroom CC forum. Please confirm exactly which version you have purchased and what you mean by "previous version".

        I have never heard the term catalog (sorry im kinda new to this) and so im thinking its the CC cloud based seeing as it sync with the cloud.

        The Catalog is the heart and soul of Classic CC.

        How Lightroom Classic CC catalogs work

        Prior to Oct 2017, what is now Lightroom Classic CC was simply known as CC. After that, Adobe re-branded CC to Classic CC and introduced a brand new CC - confusing everyone in the process..
