Can't install classic in Parallels on mac

[Alexander30733174d3es]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install lightroom classic in parallels (Windows 11) on my macbook pro (M2).  However, creative cloud doesn't give the option to install classic - just lightroom cloud.  Any thoughts?

Many thanks,

Allie

According to this article, the DMA currently applies to six "gatekeeper" companies, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft:

Reading that and other articles, I don't see how DMA would cause Adobe to slow-walk the deployment of Lightroom Classic on Microsoft ARM devices in Europe.

I could be all wrong here, but I suspect that testing is the real issue.  Large variety of  national languages.  Possibly different configurations for new laptops offerred in Europe.  General concern abouot not rushing support worldwide for ARM.  E.g. use the US deployments to gain run time experience as a guide for future support in other countries.

That all said, I could make a snarky comment how none of the six "platform" companies are EU-based.  But I won't. 🙂

Apple is already holding back features for Europe, and I expect Microsoft to follow suit. Adobe isn't going to want to fork its apps over the lack of major OS support. That could mean waiting until those features are worldwide.
