People View Not Working in Lightroom V6.14

I enabled people view on my entire catalog and the application ran all night long indexing the photos, but I got a 'no people found' indication the next morning and the people view does not appear to be working at all now.  I can manually assign names to people, but Lightroom does not make recommendations for names as the documentation suggests that it should.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue and know how to resolve it?  I've already tried restarting Lightroom and rebooted my PC, but those actions didn't help.

 

Thanks!

Fairly sure this has not worked in v6.14 since 2020. Did it work for you recently?

    No, I just tried experimenting with this feature yesterday.  

    From what I've been reading, you are correct and Adobe has chosen to disable this feature after Nov 2020, or something close to that.  

    There is apparently a program called RunAsDate that might be able to be used to make Lightroom think that it is running prior to Nov 2020, which might resolve that issue, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Have you heard anything about using RunAsDate being used for this issue?

      "Adobe has chosen to disable this feature after Nov 2020"

       

      More precisely, the third-party library Adobe licensed to do face recognition contained a license that expired at the end of 2020.  

       

      The last thread @GoldingD linked to reports some people's experience with RunAsDate as well as a recipe for changing the expiration date of the library on Mac. I haven't seen a similar recipe for Windows, though it would probably be similar.


      I just tried using RunAsDate and it trashed the Lightroom 6.14 application.

      Luckily, I reinstalled it and my catalog was still there.

      I don't use Lightroom enough to justify the expense of moving to the subscription based version, so it is a bit annoying that Adobe would just let this facial recognition feature expire in 2020, after I paid for the application with this feature working in 2018.
