I bought Lightroom 6 a couple of years ago but would like to upgrade to the latest edition, can I only do this with a plan? Thanks

Hi,

 

Lightroom 6 was the last standalone version of Lightroom we released. Starting with Lightroom Classic (version 7 & above), the application is only available through subscriptions. You can read more about this here: https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2017/10/18/introducing-lightroom-cc-lightroom-classic-cc-and-more.html#gs.1s6ndk

 

You can also check out the plans that include Lightroom Classic here: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/compare-plans.html?promoid=9DJJ4N49&mv=other

 

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Nikunj

Install v6 on your new computer! (Note: It will not install on Mac OS Catalina Monterey 64bit systems)

Do NOT install the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App!

You will need  your Serial Number (and also a SN for a previous version- if you had a Lr6 upgrade version)

If you need the installer file- See this advice-

If  you strike Activation problems (activating on more than 2 computers) - see this link-

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 .

    Yes, you can only do this with a subscription plan for Lightroom Classic. Lightroom is no longer available as perpetual license.
