Lightroom 6.14 Authentication

Folks

I keep a locked down Mac as a dedicated legacy photo computer.

I have Lightroom 6.14 installed - which is the final release of the standalone version.

Recently when I attempted to open Lightroom it advised that I needed to reinstall.

I reinstalled - entered the serial number, logged into my Adobe account as requested and was advised that I needed to connect to the internet - see screenshot below.

The machine is connected to the internet!

Clicking the 'Validate' button simply presents the same dialogue window again

Clicking the 'Connect Later' button cancels the entire process

 

Details:

MacPro 5,1 running MacOS 10.13.6 - High Sierra

 

I neither wish nor need to upgrade to a subscription version

I merely want to run the installed version I had running perfectly fine previously.

I have a load of much newer Macs right up to M3 and running Sequoia.

The machine with the problem does not need to be 'updated' I merely want it to remain what it was setup for - a legacy photo machine.

Any advice appreciated

Brian

One minor point...

On the link provided above - take care one the provided link - as it has a period (.) added to end which will return an error.

The correct link is:

Again - thanks

But Adobe - I am disappointed - yet again...

At this time, the only known way to install or re-install Lr 6 is via the "offline activation procedure". Please search the forum for the details about this procedure.
