I am not a tech pro.  When the forums mentioned uninstalling lightroom for crashing issues, I did.  I thought I could reinstall easly on my adobe account ...no.  I have a life time purchase code, just no link to reinstall,

PLEASE HELP ME 

 

thank you

Lightroom 6? Is that what you have a perpetual license for? See: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/lightroom-6-end-of-support.html

 

Do yourself a favor and SAVE this downloaded installer file somewhere that you can find it easily if you need it in the future.

 

By the way, uninstall/re-install rarely fixes anything. But I hope it works for you.

If you have installed many third-party plug-ins and are experiencing odd behavior in Lightroom Classic, troubleshoot the plug-ins next.

Check with the plug-in manufacturer to see if they have an update for your plug-in.
Disable problematic plug-ins using Lightroom Classic's Plug-in Manager:
In Lightroom, choose File > Plug-in Manager.
Click Disable for each of the listed plug-ins.
Check if the problem is still occurring.
If the problem is resolved, turn the plug-ins back on one by one.
Check to see if the problem reoccurs after re-enabling each plug-in.

Just so you're aware, Lightroom Classic 2018 (version 7.4) was only ever a subscription version.

 

The last lifetime version was Lightroom 6.14. Is that the version your serial number is for?
