I purchased a copy of Adobe Lightroom 4.4 and now I purchased a new macbook laptop and need to install my purchase on the new laptop. I was told that this is not possible now and I need to purchase a plan. This is a ripp off. I installed Lightroon on the new machine without error. I dont need support from Adobe on this version. I need to retrieve my purchase. There is a popup screen when I open Lightroom to force me to purchase a plan, No way to bipass.

A new purchase of a Mac with BigSur or Catalina OS renders all 32bit software obsolete and impossible to install.

If your Lightroom v4.4 is the 'old' perpetual version then Apple OS upgrades have ensured that there is "No way to bypass."

Your only Adobe option is a subscription to the Photography Plan (20GB). The blame is with Apple!
