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????

No, unfortunately. I cannot launch on the laptop because the programs are not there.

Ummm....maybe I've got my 'installed' computers mixed up....

follow the steps on the computer where you want to install the app.

Again, thank you. But I'm confused about the 'product' I should launch. I'm thinking you mean Illustrator or Photoshop or .... Are you meaning the installer for these apps?

The problem was me. I wasn't sure which was 'installed' computer. The solution was yours! Once I figured it all out, I followed your instructions exactly and it worked just like you said it would. It's not activated yet, had to deactivate on my old laptop first. I'll activate it now but I think it will be fine. Now....these old eyes just need a 24" laptop for the big screen!! LOL! A lot of people really have a hard time with using old software. But it's like an old car. If it works and you're happy, why change? CS6 does everything I need for right now, even tho I"d love all those new features in the subscription products.
Thank you again @kglad! Very much!!!!

Tried on 'installed' computer, not laptop. Never gets to asking me for a serial number.
