Lightroom 6 on a new PC

Community Beginner ,

Hi in have been using Lightroom 6 for years (many thousands of images....) but have just had to buy a new PC.

 

I know dowloads are discontinued but I still had the original install files and serial numbers, so I did manage to install it, but when I open it I am asked to register the product.

 

To do this I have to login to Adobe, which confirms registration, but the newly installed program does not seem to recognise it.... So it always asks for registration when I try to open it and I can't make that stick.

 

Is it really true that if you are unfortunate enough to need to move to a new PC, that's the end for you as a user of LR6????

The aged out activation services are no longer functioning at 100%. 

You should budget for modern software that's compatible with your new system.

 

Creative Cloud Photography Plan (approx $10/month for 12 months). Includes the following:

  • Photoshop CC and Photoshop on iPad
  • Camera Raw
  • Lightroom on desktop, mobile and the web
  • Lightroom Classic (similar to LR 6)
  • Portfolio website + hosting
  • Adobe Express (free starter plan)
  • Bridge
  • 20 GB cloud storage (upgradable to 1 TB).
  • Free upgrades for paid su

Thanks @kglad I stand corrected on the "activation servers". I do know that Adobe support will not reset the activation count (if limit of 2 is reached).

 

Regards. My System: Lightroom-Classic 14.0, Photoshop 26.0, ACR 17.0, Lightroom 8.0, Lr-iOS 9.0.1, Bridge 15.0.0, Windows-11.

Yesterday I gave it a final go but eventually gave up... Steps:

- uninstalled all Adobe software (all Lightroom versions, everything)

- uninstalled the CC Desktop App

- ran the CC cleaner tool (linked in another post) and cleaned everything

- restarted pc

- downloaded the LR 6 from the web achive (linked in another post)

- went offline

- ran the LR 6 installer

- Result: Lightroom CC 2015.14 release installed... (??)

- tried Offline Activation anyway, same result:  "Your request cannot be processed. Try again later." 

 

It baffles me how CC 2015.14 gets installed..

try using another browser.  using a mobile browswer with wifi disabled is the most likely to succeed, if it's a browser issue.

Enfaite je ne comprend plus rien. j'essaie de l'installer comme indiqué sur deux page différentes, c'est une reinstallation car mon pc m'a lâché depuis peu et je le remet sur mon nouveau. 
Mais rien ne fonctionne, ma connexion adobe je reste pas connecté même en ayant tout essayé à l'aide des gens et le logiciek sur cd ne dispose pas des phrase inscrite, car il paraitrait que l'on puisse se connecter en hors ligne mais moi rien ne me demande quoi que ce soit a par se connecter et une fois le logiciel telechargé il me dise que certains choses n'ont pas pu s'installer et quand je clique le racourcis de lightroom installé sur mon ordianteur, il ne se passe rien.

you shouldn't already be at that web page.  ie, clear your browser's cache and close your browser.  then reopen your browser when you're ready to paste the address.

Bonjour. excusez moi, j'ai mis du temps à vous répondre. Rien ne change ! 
j'ai fais tout ce que vous m'avez dit de faire. 
J'ai oublier de préciser que mon ordianteur sors d'une  reinitialisation d'usine donc il devrait être clean avant même que je ne tente d'installer lightroom.

don't buy lightroom 6.  it's out of date and difficult to get working.
