Hello,

I purchased a perpetual license of LIghtroom 3.6 more than 10 years ago. I need to move it to a new Windows computer I recently purchased. Is that still possible?

Is there a way for me to download version 3.x from Adobe as I still have the license key for it.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I have no idea if this still works, but you can try it and let us all know!

The Prodesigntools.com links no longer work (they linked to locations at Adobe.com no longer available).

Adobe keeps deleting previous posts with links that work. I just tested these from the Internet Archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170630221102/http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/win/3.x/Lightroom_3_LS11_win_3_6.exe

https://web.archive.org/web/20170701004607/http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/mac/3.x/Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg

Note that the Internet Archive can be pretty slow with large downloads, so be patient.

In addition of @johnrellis post: It's recommended to save the downloaded files to a save location for a later use.

It isn't sure how long these downloads are available.
