Hi, I cannot use my LRC anymore. It starts, flickers and then I get the anoying warning (without closebutton ....)  and not much later the app quits. Using OSX, Sonoma.

 

Adobe support pointed me to this communty for support (also a bit weird imho)

 

any help is appreciated

What does "use legitimate adobe products" indicate? You put it in the title, but it is not mentioned after that. Could you explain this? What "anoying warning"?

 

Please provide your hardware and software specifications from Help->System Info. Copy and paste the text there (the first 50 lines or so; we don't need the rest of that information) into your reply.

What does the bottom 1/3 of the screen capture say in English? Is it pointing you to a site where you can buy the product? 

Do you have an active Adobe subscription? If not, Adobe is the ONLY place you can purchase a subscription for their products.

What version NUMBER of Lightroom Classic do you have? If you already have a subscription to Lightroom Classic you shouldn't get this message.

Maarten,

The point is that all current versions of Lightroom are subscription based. You can't have a 'key' for these versions, you need to have a subscription. Your screenshot suggests that you have a key to the old Lightroom 6, which was the predecessor of Lightroom Classic.

 

Go to https://www.adobe.con/nl/creativecloud/photography.html

Above screenshot clearly suggests that you have the ancient version Lightroom 6 installed.

"I have a key" sounds like you have a very old perpetual license key. That key is not valid for Lightroom Classic, which is only available through a subscription.
