Hi, I'm looking for a way to download Lightroom 4 for my MacBook Pro running with Mojave OS. I have my original serial number but cannot find how to download the program off the web. Adobe's download page for this program says to contact their support team, but the support team was unable to assist me and has directed me to this page.... Does anyone know if the program is compatible with OS Mojave??? And where I can get the download from??

Compatible... probably not

CS6 and earlier programs HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED AND WILL NOT BE UPDATED for Mac El Capitan or newer operating systems

-which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

-Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or newer operating systems

--Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

--READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required

Download... maybe
