Light room classic and Monterey MAC OS

please help me with installing pack of Lightroom classic for Monterey MAC OS 12.7.6

Lightroom Classic 15 supports macOS 14 and later. See System Requirements picture below.

Lightroom Classic 14 supports macOS 13, 14, and 15.

If it’s possible to upgrade your Mac to macOS 13, you can install Lightroom Classic 14. 

If it’s possible to upgrade your Mac to macOS 14, you can install Lightroom Classic 15. 

No older versions of Lightroom Classic are available in the Adobe installer, so it can’t install a version of Lightroom Classic that runs on macOS 12 Monterey.

I cant update my MacOS (hardware 2017) last availible OS up to date ans it is Monterey MAC OS 12.7.6

Then you cannot use LrC 14 or later on that computer

I am not looking for LrC 14 or later, any older which availible for my OS should be fine (v.12)

As I said, the installer provides only the last two major versions, so the installer doesn’t provide older versions. If you want to try to get an older version, there are two possibilities.

First, you can contact Adobe customer service directly and see if they can get you an older version. Not much can be done in this user-to-user community by those of us who are not Adobe employees.

Second, you could look into Open Core Legacy Patcher software in case installing it on your Intel-based Mac might let it upgrade to a newer version of macOS that can run a supported version of Lightroom Classic. However, OCLP is not supported by Apple or Adobe, so using it is at your own risk. It’s easier to set up if you already have some technical understanding of macOS (no coding required, though).
