Lightroom 6 download

[Daniel17]

Hi,
I have a perpetual license for Lightroom 6 and now I can't download an instalation file from adobe page. Is there any solution for that and download LR6?

1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesigntools.com*.

3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links**.

---------------------------------------------------------------
* most (but not all) adobe download links are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

follow the directions (esp, step 1)

save the install file. it may not remain online.

thank jim @ prodesigntools.com

** this support is currently not available. ie, there's a significant gap (between 2019 and last year) in the available previous versions.

opposition to this decision (to limit available previous versions) has been conveyed to adobe officials who are therefore aware of the problems caused by this policy. however, unless/until changes are made, nothing can be done to legally access these files.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

lr 6, is available.

[John T Smith]

Where?

The link I provided says no download

[Nancy OShea]

Right.  After 12/23, Lightroom Classic 11.5 or later will be required.

• The latest/most current version of Lightroom Classic is 13.2

lr 6 (the first, not last version): https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-6-cc-direct-download-links.html

[Rob_Cullen]

"lr 6 (the first, not last version):"

Nope. No version of Lr6 is available from ProDesignTools links!

A link to 6.14  just takes me to the Adobe "End of Support" site-

Links to earlier versions (6.0.1 > 6.13) all give a 404 page error and take me to-

Downloads of any V6 are now not possible.

Time to upgrade to the Photography Plan. @ BUY PHOTOGRAPHY PLANS 

[John Waller]

Agree there used to be a working link for 6.0 there @kglad. But not any longer.

[kglad]

oops,

@ProDesignTools , you should update https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-6-cc-direct-download-links.html

[Rob_Cullen]

@kglad  "you should update"- There are none for ProDesignTools to update to!. Adobe has taken down the servers that provided the install files for the previous ProDesignTools links.

[John Waller]

I took it to mean that the page needs to be updated to state that download links are no longer available,

[kglad]

@Rob_Cullen 

you fail to understand my previous message which was directed to @ProDesignTools, not you. ie, you can ignore it.

Me too I bought Lightroom 6 because it was perpetual...and now its not.  My computer crashed and now I'm stuck.

For anyone else reading this... when you buy a program via download you should always copy your download (and a text file containing your serial number and install instructions) to at least one external device such as a USB flash drive (2 copies is better) since companies do stop offering old versions for download
