LR is working fine, but because it won’t show up in my Creative Cloud app (looks like I still have to install LR) I can’t update it and it won’t sync with mobile.
How to get LR to show in my Creative Cloud?
Do I just have to install LR from my Creative Cloud Suite, e
ven though I already have a working LR on my PC

Hi Jim,

That’s richt,.. I did a manual update some time ago. Don’t remember how I did it just that it was a lot of hassle. And Yes, Creative Cloud application manager actually indicate that LR is not installed, that’s the problem I’m trying to get solved!
I do not want to update manual every time and I need LR to be installed in my CC to be able to update and use all CC functions.
Preferably without having to remove everything and re-install it completely.


It's your choice, but as far as I can see you're going to have to uninstall Lightroom and then install from the Creative Cloud application manager if you want to get everything in sync. Your other choice is to continue to download the updates and install them manually. If you choose to uninstall Lightroom and then reinstall, that will have no impact on any of the work you have already done because the catalog you have been using will remain in place as well all of the images that you have imported. I find it strange that you have the CC version running and yet the Creative Cloud manager indicates that it isn't installed. That just doesn't seem right. If you want to download and install the latest update manually, here is the link where you can get the latest update. You have to click on the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 link on that webpage. The one update will take care of Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC.

Download Photoshop Lightroom

You aren't being very clear. What version of Lightroom are you using on your computer? Have you subscribed to the Creative Cloud? Have you installed Lightroom CC? If you are using an older version of Lightroom, i.e. Lightroom 5, then you would definitely benefit from installing Lightroom CC. Please explain your situation more fully so that we can advise properly.

Hi Jim,
I have subscribed to the Creative Cloud, use it for a few years now. Currently I use Lightroom CC 2015.9 and Photoshop 2017 and Camera Raw CC.  Only in my Creative Cloud apps it says Lightroom has not yet been installed. (but it is, for almost 2 years!) That's why I can't update.
