Download Lightroom 3

I purchased Lightroom 3 long time ago, and installed to my computer by downloading.  I would like to download it to my lap top, but I do not have any info on what I've purchased.  Am I still able to download the program to my laptop?

    Hmm... the post above mine said the link didn't work, so I posted the information I have

     

    I wonder why the person above me couldn't get the link to work?

     

    I don't use LR so I'm not going to click the link to test

    Hi There,

    I've managed to lose everything on my Mac and no long have Lightroom installed.

    I have a serial number for Lightroom 3 and actually have the original CD.

    The link above does not work for me.

    I assume I cannot use this serial number with Lightroom 6? 

    If so, do I need to either download Lightroom 3 from somewhere and input my serial number or plug in a CD drive and use the CD I still have to download Lightroom 3?

    Look forward to any help with this.

    Many thanks, Annie

    >cannot use this [Lightroom 3] serial number with Lightroom 6?

     

    That is correct... serial numbers are specific to the exact product

    That information from 2015 is no longer current

     

    This is the latest download information - dated 12-18-19
    NOTE - CS3 and earlier are COMPLETELY gone from the Adobe file server
    For CS6 and earlier you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
    -Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
    --click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
    --and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
    --as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
    ---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
    -if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
    --if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
    --the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
    -if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
    -if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor

    Hi John,

    At least the download still works for version up to version 3.6 of Lightroom. But I would really advice everybody to keep his own copy safe.
