Original stand alone LR 6 to new computer

Question

Hi, I'm a novice. I purchased LR 6 on 4/26/15 for $84.33 and have the serial number and original invoice. I have had it installed on my PC which has gotten old and slow so much that I had quit trying to open LR on it or do any picture editing bc it would just crash so I bought a new laptop. I figured out how to move my catalogs to the new laptop but I can't figure out how to get the original LR on the new laptop. I don't need all of the cloud features and don't want to pay a monthly fee. I downloaded what I thought was the stand alone version of LR to the laptop but everytime I try to open my catalog it wants to upgrade it and pops up info about monthly fees.

Am I missing something? How can I avoid this upgrade and just put LR 6 on my new laptop?

Thank you!

You need to provide a serial number for an earlier version of Lightroom (1,2,3,4 or 5) because you purchased Lightroom 6 via the upgrade price (which I think was $79.99 plus tax) and you did not purchase the full (non-upgrade) version (which I think was $149.99 plus tax). You will also need to provide somewhere in the process the Lightroom 6 serial number.

DJ & Bob, Thanks for helping me. I kept looking and found a version 5 purchased in 2013. I entered that serial number and it is letting me install it. Fingers crossed that it works.

What did you download? Where did you download it from? You should be able to download Lightroom 6 from https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html
