"my 6.0 is working finde with D7200 - so I never hat the idea to update. Three weeks ago I purchised a D500 - and the program doesn't reas the data."

 

The correct answer at the top of this thread provides a link for downloading LR 6.14 -- no need to waste time with Adobe chat.

Update as of Sep 2020:  I can confirm that Adobe chat works great.  I was going through the process of changing computers and my perpetual product was fine on the old comptuer with Version 6.14, Camera Raw 10.1.  But, when loading my CD to new computer I was of course back to 6.0 and then found that my camera RAW files were not recognized.  Chat provided me a link and now all is back to normal.  Thanks for your input!!

"You can download Lightroom 6.14 from https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html"

 

Note that page only gives instructions about how to check your Adobe account, where the download may be available if you purchased the perpetual-licensed version directly from Adobe.  If you purchased it elsewhere, it tells you to contact support otherwise (which has been a fruitless exercise for many people).  The help page links to another page that used to provide a direct download of LR 6 but, as of recently, no longer does:

I just tested the instructions in the reply marked correct above:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/update-lightroom-6-0-to-6-14/m-p/10819370#M170107

 

and they still work for me. What precisely happens when you follow those instructions?

You can download Lightroom 6.14 from https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html

 

While I can't say if Adobe will leave this in place for a few years (even though I think they should), the advice of saving a copy of the downloaded installer file is a good one that everyone should follow.

I did that. The installer works but Lightroom does not. Just avoid Adobe products in future. If enough people jump ship perhaps Adobe will change their policy and sell their software and provide better support. If sufficient customers move to alternative suppliers Adobe will either give up their coersive tactics or go bust.

Is it possible that your computer operating system cannot run the application? What error message if any do you get?

Adobe makes it very hard to download more than the last two major versions (shame on them).  You can still download LR CC 2015 / 6.14 from here (be sure to read "Very Important Instructions" above the table):

https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions

 

Make sure you save the download, since it's very likely you won't be able to download it in the future.

 

I think that download is for the free trial of the subscription Lightroom CC 2015.14. To convert it to the perpetually licensed Lightroom 6.14, see this archived help article (which has apparently been deleted from adobe.com, double shame on them):
