Hi I am having the same problems that you are having my laptop that I had my Lightroom 6 is now broken so had to get a new one and tryed to down load LR6 and have the same problems as you, did you manage to fix the peoblem. I have got two controlers that I use one is Xtouch mini the other is loupdeck and now getting very frustrated that I can't use them

Hello Everyone,

I had an old version of LR (number 6) and as my laptop crashed I wanted to install it on my new computer but at the end of the installation it says

Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR: DS003 ...

 - 1 fatal error(s), 0 error(s
FATAL: DS003: Installer package might be corrupt. Re-download the installer and try again. 
I did it few times with the same result 
I bought the software myself so it can't be corrupt 

Could you help me please ????

I have a lightroom 6 licensce and as of now I dont have a running version. I went through a desktop/OS upgrade and now when I am trying to start lightroom it comes with a message that 

Please help .. I am perfectly happy with the Lightroom 6 features and dont intent to go to your monthly plans. I paid outright for this product and I should be able to use it ..

I have the same issue

I am trying to move my lightroom 6 install from one laptop to another. I deactivated (signed out, etc.,) on the old machine - which now no longer has a license. When I try to activate on the new machine it says it can't due being "in use by the maximum allowed computers" which it isn't. So basically the license released failed.

Can someone help me activate on the new machine?

Per my online chatting with Adobe customer support a while ago, I was told that you won't be able to re-activate the LR6 or any LR classic version because Adobe disabled them, no more support all of the classic version, in the mean time they refer you to buy the new Creative, that I don't want to pay for this monthly! 

Hi. I use my perpetual licence version of LR6 on three Macs, always ensuring one of them is deactivated.  However, I couldn't access one of the Macs to deactivate LR6 when I had to activate it on another of my devices. This meant LR was activated on three Macs simultaneously, which Adobe seems to tolerate for a short while. Then LR on the 'third' device stopped working and told me I needed to sign in. I tried - forgetting two other devices were still activated - but kept getting the same message: "Serial Number Validation: please connect to the internet to validate your serial number". I WAS connected to the internet. It eventually dawned on me that I needed to deactivate the other device that I could access, so I did this, but the same problem recurred - after rebooting both computers I am still told to connect to the internet to validate my serial number. I gave up trying and signed back into the device I had recently deactivaed. BUT, while Adobe instantly reactivated LR6 on this device, it came with a message warning me that I now had LR activated on two OTHER devices and so would only be allowed 30 days access on this device. So, I have one device with LR active that I am unable to access, another that won't let me validate my serial number even though I am connected to the internet, and now a threat to terminate my usage of LR6 in 30 days on my last remaining access point. What on earth is going on here? And how do I resolve this nightmare?

I have purchased, long ago, Lightroom 6. I have version 6.14.0.10 installed now.

I have valid serial number that came with my purchase.

Serial number shows in my adobe products (accounts.adobe.com/products)

Adobe "Activated devices" is empty

I fire up Lightroom, it says "Activation Failed"

I go through "Offline Activation", use "request code" to get "response code"

Offline activation page responds:

"Activation limit reached for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6. This Serial Number XXXX-SOMENUMBER has already been activated on 2 machines. Please deactivate one of the other computers and try again."

It has only been activated on the one machine I'm facing the above problem on.

This started to happen about 2 weeks ago.

Prior to that, I had no problems for years.

What do I do to get it to run again?

Thanks.

I have been around the houses with Adobe, who dont seem to care at all. I have made sure I followed all "deactivation" process when moving LR6 from old to new.
Everything, like App manager is up to date, Adobe have confirmed my Key is working and legit, its showing in my account. My account has 0 active devices.

So all that is left, is that Adobe are now blocking all activations for LR6 in a bif to force you into a £10 a month subscription. Which as an amature user who might use it 4 times a year makes it £30 per use. That is not value for money, espcially as I own a legit copy that I paid for and Adobe are blocking me from using.

My next step has been to contact Trading Standards, I have submited everything to them, inc. the chat logs and screen shots. Adobe might no longer support LR6, fine, but activly preventing the App Manager from allowing activation and blocking you access is not fine.

I will update here once I get more details from Trad. Std.
