How do I update my Lightroom 6 from 32-bit to 64-bit?

By the time MacOS does prohibit 32-bit applications, the updates will be available from Adobe.

How about now? Are these updates ready? Catalina is quickly approaching and I cannot install Lightroom 6, simply because the installer is 32-bit.

I have Lightroom 4 (from the App Store) running well on Catalina. Why can't we get LR6 to that point?? !

I have the same problem. Trying to reinstall my 64bits Lightroom 6 on my new MacBook and been unable to do it because of the 32bits installer... Adobe need to do something.

Adobe did something. If you get the latest Lightroom, on subscription, it will be installed. No old apps will install; this is a deliberate block by Apple, even of 64-bit apps. This race to spend on new apps is part of the Joy of Mac.

Adobe no longer supports v6. Adobe is no longer updating v6. Adobe upgraded from v6, but they changed over to subscription instead of stand alone.

Adobe will not be fixing that installer problem

As we are not Adobe, try venting at: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/categories/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightroom

Adobe Techs actually watch that site.

Adobe said about 3 years ago that Lightroom 6 will be unsupported after December 2017. So it is unsupported. I am 100% sure that Adobe will not modify Lightroom 6 for this (or any other) issue.
