Where is the Lightroom 5 Updates?!?!?!

[mikeb4744]

Seriously, I can't find the update anywhere on this convoluted site and I have been looking for over a half hour!  The update site only goes up to version 3.6 and when I finally found what I thought was a 5.7 update it ended up being what I think is an installer for something else (Lightroom_5_CCM_LS11.dgm)? I know that its unsupported now but I have version 5.6 and I should still be able to update to version 5.7!

Please help or send me a link?!?!!?

It's still working for me, and I'm in the US too.  This smells like a Content Delivery Network issue. I've sent you a private message about where to download it.

Would that be an issue with my computer? I don't know what 'a content delivery issue' actually is. I think I need a 'Dummies' book. LOL!

Nothing wrong with your computer, and definitely not a "dummies" issue to worry about. A Content Delivery Network is a third-party network service that big companies like Adobe and Microsoft use to accelerate deliveries of their downloads to users.   A CDN should be completely invisible to users, but over the years, there have been various hiccups with Adobe's use of its CDN, resulting in anomalous problems with downloads (such as what we've been observing here).

Hi folks,

just had a rather lengthy but in the end helpful chat with the Adobe support.

The up-to-date dowload link for the LR 5.7.1 installation file for Windows 64bit is

http://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/legacy/lightroom/win/5.x/Lightroom_5_LS11_win_5_7_1.exe

(I just assume it's okay to share it with the world, as the kind people of Adobe gave it away without asking anything in return - and after all posting it here means less work for them in future...) 

So anyways, hope this spares some of you some time.

Cheers!
