My Lightroom 6 is still great and I have been happy to use it until now. I made some upgrades to my computer hardware and now I cannot use anymore my Lightroom 6. It's chenged to CC. Maybe there's a way out?

@jarimesk Have you done a Trial of an Adobe App that required you to install the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App?

If this App is installed it will convert your Lr6 to a CC2015 'Subscription' version (as a Trial if you do not pay the subscription.)

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

The OP changed hardware components on his computer, which in the past deactiveted Lightroom 6. I've no idea if that's still the case, but the thread I provided a link to above suggests that the issue is activation, and also includes a contact who may be able to resolve it.

So, Lightroom 6 cannot "change" to CC. When you say you cannot use Lr 6, exactly what do you do, and exactly what happens? Please be specific and detailed. If there is an error message, please provide the exact complete unedited error message, word-for-word verbatim.

 

Also, please tell us what upgrades you made your computer.
