LrC 6.x reactivation

[Hugyak386161679ea4]

Hi,
I bought Lightroom lifetime licence in 2017, my Serial number:<Removed: Serial numbers should NEVER be posted>

Unfortunately, my computer became wrong and I have a new one. Please be so kind and help me recover my LR 6, where can I download again my original version?

I very rarely need to use this software, but in those cases it is extremely important to me.

Thank you very much.

KR,

As of early this year, it seems to be impossible to install Lr 6 on a new computer. The activation server is no longer available.

Hi, mybe it is some misubderstanding. I just would like to install locally, on my new computel my original Lightroom 6, wich I bought as lifitime licence! I need only the install file. The only problem, that I have new computer, because my winchester became wrong / unavailable, therefore it is not a simple change and I cannot rech my original install file on my previous computer. That is all.

Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

KR,

Andrea

No misunderstanding. Lr 6 cannot be installed on a new computer, as of earlier this year.

During installation, Lightroom 6 will need to be activated by connecting to an Adobe activation server. That server is no longer online however, so the activation will fail and therefor the installation will fail.

Hi, okay, but I bought lifetime licence / product. I cannot imagine, that there is no solution for my issue, since I would like to have only recover, which I bought. To refuse this option would be totally illegal, I am sure.
Thank you.

You bought a lifetime license. You still have that license. No one has taken that away.

You did not buy (because Adobe does not offer) a lifetime guarantee that the software will work.

And I am sure that Adobe has a few lawyers that checked this before Adobe took that server offline...

Lifetime does not mean forever and ever. You pay for the license once a time and you can use it as long the software was supported (including if it's necessay activation/deactivation) and it was compatible with hardware and operating system.

There's nothing illegal.

Hi,
Sorry, but it is still a misunderstanding. My paid software version worked totally properly. I would like to have only this bought version again, I don't need any support etc.
And yes, in EU is illegal to sell something with concrete parameters and later say, oops I changed my mind, but I don't fulfill the agreed conditions.

My only poblem, that with my wrong computer winchester also my install file became unavailable. 

I just would like to use, wich I purchased. So I need only download the original version or install file of the paid softvare.

Thank you.

You might still find v6.14 installer in a Web Archive. You could still install v6.14.

But, as others in this thread have stated repeatedly- 

You CANNOT activate Lr6 on a new computer.

It cannot be done, regardless of what you might have paid in 2017.

You can repeat your message as many times as you want, but that will not change anything. Lightroom 6 cannot be installed on a new compter.
