How do I reinstall LR Classic? [Branched from old topic.]

[johnd18154313]

My computer crashed and I am rebuilding my hard drive on new machine.  I want to know how to install LR Classic using my license (month to month).  I have a backup of catalogue and other files but not the software.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Open CC Desktop App and scroll down to Lightroom Classic. 

4. Hit the Install button.

Beforehand, make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements. Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

• Windows 10 versions 21H2, 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909 (LTSB branches are not supported;)
• macOS 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 10.16 or 10.15 (Catalina).
