My hard drive crashed and I'm trying to get Photoshop & Lightroom that I purchased years ago to install on my new one. All I seem to get is a trial for Creative Cloud. I just need my old software back. Not looking to upgrade.

you'll need your A) serial numbers and B) the installation files (and you can expect some problems if installing on an incompatible os).
A):
you have 3 ways to recover a serial number that you once had:
1. if you purchased from or registered with adobe (automatically done with cs6):,
a. you can check your account, https://accounts.adobe.com
b. you can check with adobe support* (be prepared to give the email address used when registering purchasing)
2. if your adobe program is installed on another computer you can recover its serial number from that computer, (win:) http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html, (mac:) https://mac-product-key-finder.com/
3. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here and, when available, click 'chat', http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service-ccm.html
B):
note: newer os'es (especially mac os'es) are not compatible with older programs (especially adobe's). this may help you start your installation, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/macos-high-sierra-compatibility.html that said, you can download the installation files using the below link.

And a big thank you to Jim @ Prodesigntools for helping me with these links!
