cant open lightroom without subscription?

[Brandon25556794sbsg]

Ive had lightroom for 10 years since i was 15, before the subscription payment change and now i cant use the lightroom ive been using? I remember going to bestbuy and buying it when it was a "disk". ive gone through 4 laptops and it transfers every time and it only recently messed up this month. i do not want to pay for it again if i already have the permanent one? someone please help or at least point me to the right direction. thanks.

Lots more information is needed.

What is the version number of your old Lightroom that you would like to use now?

What is the operating system version NUMBER?

What does "it only messed up this month" mean? What happened — describe in detail. If there is an error message, please quote the exact unedited word-for-word error message.

What changed this month?

Did you get a new computer?

Did you have to reinstall the program?

We also need to know the Mac hardware (and OS).

IF you happen to be on a newer Mac running Apple Silicon, you're totally out of luck, a version that old can't be installed and activation otherwise is iffy at best, even on Intel.
