I purchased Lightroom 2 a number of years ago and used it on my PC. I just purchased a Mac Book Pro and would like to install it there. I have a serial number. How would I do that? Going to adobe.com does not seem to help. Any help is appreciated!

A new Mac is most likely to come with the Catalina Operating System pre-installed. Unfortunately older software with 32 bit components won’t run. You will need to think about taking out a subscription for Lightroom Classic 9.1 which has many new features compared with the old Lightroom 2. Or as an alternative you could try the Apple Photos app on your Mac.

 

A seven day free trial is avaiable for Lightroom Classic

Hi there,

If you purchased the app from Adobe.com or registered your product, you cnan go to your Order history and then download the app and use the serial number you have to install it on the computer. Please have a look at this article for more info: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/find-serial-number.html#IfyoupurchasedfromAdobecomorregisteredyourproduct

Sahil,

 

Suggest you review these instructions in the light of most people with new Macs having the Catalina operating system.

 

As you're aware, non-Cloud software will not install or run on Catalina so there's no point giving people links to older software which  will not work for them.

Incorrect, what will not run on Catalina is 32 bit software, that includes 32 bit installers as found in older versions of Lightroom.

 

If the OP really means Lightroom version 2 as in many years ago and long abandoned desktop version, then yes, not going to install

 

Some additional software will eventually not install if Apple does not have a certificate of interoperability
