Upgrade from Lightroom 5 to 6 as standalone?

Hi

I have currently Lightroom 5 version: 5.7.1 [994254] and it is stand alone. Is it possible for me to upgrade to 6 also as a stand alone or do I have to buy a new version? I do not want the CC cloud version as we travel and do not have wifi for long periods.

I tried to buy it as stand alone and there is an option to upgrade but does not offer version 6 only up to version 5.

Unfortunately does not work for me

I would really have liked to use V6 having used 5.7.1 for 3 years

Clearly Adobe don't want to sell it to me

Clicking on Photoshop Lightroom 6 takes me to an empty page!

The link provided above should get you there. Indicate that you want to purchase an upgrade, and the price will change. After you purchase Lightroom 6 make sure that you install the 6.14 update. That will be the final update to Lightroom 6. You should be prompted to install the update after you install the main program.

my brother upgraded from LR 4 to LR 6 for free from within LR

I can't upgrade at all from my LR5

Stop buy standalone is $79.00 for an obsolete product seems high when he got it free

we both have Sony RX10iv  and needed Raw capability

Any suggestions?

I also could not find it on the website. They're sneaky. I ended up chatting online with a rep and they right away just sent me the link to Lightroom 6 as a standalone or upgrade. Just use the drop down menu to see the options

Of course.

Go here: Software & Services

Scroll down to Lightroom and click on 'Buy' on the right side (DO NOT click on Lightroom on the left). You may have to select a different setting in the drop-down box at the top to see Lightroom.

Select the upgrade version and your language ... et voila.

To clarify: The CC and the Standalone version are both the same application and are installed locally. For the CC version, connection to the net is needed once every month only, to verify your subscription status.
