Hello everyone

I have Lightroom 5.7 installed on my laptop

I am sure I never purchased it

I simply downloaded and installed it

Is lightroom now not for free?

I don't mind paying but I dont understand

Thanks

    Lightroom was never FREE. You could download and install a Trial version that lasted 30 days until Adobe changed that to only 7 days with newer versions.

    So the version of LR that is installed on your computer is either the trial version or at some point you purchased LR 5.

    Looks like I purchased it in December 2014

    No, sir.

    Thank you.

    Well. Kinda.

    I see there are two versions

    Lightroom and Lightroom classic

    I don't need any of the online storage or collaboration features

    Just the full photo editing software

    Which to get?

    thank you for your response

    Hmm its been over 30 days and I have full access to features on my laptop. In fact its been years

    I am fairly certain I never purchased it ?

    How can I see if I ever purchased it?

    I would not download a cracked or pirated copy. I appreciate the efforts of creators and would pay.
