Switch back to LightRoom 6 (2015 version) from LightRoom Classic CC

I got a one year subscription for LightRoom CC when my computer crashed last year.  I had the stand alone version of LightRoom 6 (2015 version) when it died.

I built a new computer and have been running the LightRoom Clasic CC since then.

My CC subscription will be expiring April 4th, so I canceled my subscription, uninstallled everything Adobe CC related and re-installed LightRoom 6 (2015 version).

Looking at my CC assests and programs, it still shows I have Adobe LightRoom Classic CC installed (which I don't).  No mention of the LightRoom 6 (2015 version)

Also, when I fire up LightRoom 6 (2015 version), it does not recognize any of the NEF files except for some that I recently took with a Nikon D810.  LightRoom 6 recognized my Nikon D3200 and D5600 NEF files when it was originally installed. And I am unable to update - it just sends me back to my CC account.

Any thoughts?

Go to the Lightroom menu: Help > Sign Out <your email address>

Quit Lightroom

Relaunch Lightroom and click Sign In Now

Click the button - License This Software

Enter serial number – 24 digits starting 1160 & click Next

Lightroom should launch as LR6

The last stand-alone version was LR 6.14. You can download the update from the link below after expanding the LR6 tab on that page:

After license this software it goes No subscription found

I installed it directly from the disc I purchased.  Can I still download an update even though I purchased the stand alone version and not the CC ?

Here are the first 5 lines

Lightroom version:  CC 2015 [1014445]

License: Creative Cloud

Operating system: Windows 8.1 Home Premium Edition

Version: 6.3 [9600]

Application architecture: x64

How did you reinstall LR 6?

If you used the Creative Cloud Desktop app then it more than likely installed LR Classic CC V7.

Open LR and go to the Help menu then System Info and post the first 5 lines from the dialog window that comes up.

You should download LR 6 and the 6.14 update from here. And NOT from the CC DTA.
