Didn’t happen! Anyway downloaded via the link as could see my purchase and serial number in my on-line Adobe account (but no download option!). Download button no longer there and couldn’t download so started to panic! Absolutely no easy way to email or ring Adobe so had to go through their online ‘chat to an adviser’ option! They sent me a link which i was suspicious about and I asked to be able to download via my Adobe a/c. Was busy working so didn’t try until next day. It said my payment was still being processed and to come back later. I paid £113 for stand-alone LR6 which was immediately taken out of my account and clicked on the download button.
Hi Owen, I read this thread and used it to upgrade my LR 5.7 (having just purchased a new Canon 5D IV and discovered I couldn’t upload the images from CF card in my new camera!).

How to use Dehaze on Lightroom 6 Standalone After licensing your software with your serial number, Lightroom 6 will launch! Note: On Windows it will have the extension.
Note: You may need to access hidden user library files in OS X 10.7 or later: Ĭ:\\Program Data\Adobe\Lighroom\Lightroom 5.0 Registration Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 5.0 Registration If you didn’t register your product, but you still have Lightroom installed and licensed, you can retrieve your serial # from the following location: If you’ve lost your box and/or serial number – or can’t remember prior version serial number – sign into your account to view your registered product serial numbers. Note: If you’re upgrading from a prior version, have your prior version serial number handy to enter as part of the activation process. Just head over to the Adobe instructions page where they’ve got more info about mixed licensing situations. If you sign in with an Adobe ID that has an active Creative Cloud membership associated with it, you will NOT see the serial # screen as it will activate with your Creative Cloud account. DO NOT sign in to the Creative Cloud desktop app.) (Important: When you sign out of Lightroom the Creative Cloud desktop app may open and ask you to sign in again.
Then when you’re ready to switch from the demo to the full Lightroom 6 Standalone, simply follow Adobe’s official instructions, which I’ve copied below: Simply download and use the Lightroom CC demo as normal, ignoring any CC features (such as sync, etc – they won’t be available if you switch to Standalone). The Lightroom demo is now only available branded as Lightroom CC, but don’t worry, you can switch the Lightroom CC Demo to a fully licensed Lightroom Standalone. How to upgrade the Lightroom CC Demo to Lightroom 6 The best price is usually by download so make sure to switch to Mac Download or PC Download on Amazon’s product page. Unfortunately there’s no upgrade pricing available, but it is the official product, fully supported by Adobe. How to buy Lightroom 6 (Standalone) on Amazon I’m afraid the only option now is alternative products, or Creative Cloud. It’s not available on Adobe’s store, nor on any Amazon store that I searched. Unfortunately, it’s bad news: you can no longer upgrade from a previous version to LR6, or purchase LR6 outright. However, if you don’t need anything more than Lightroom 6, the last version they sold without a subscriptions, then you’re probably trying to find out how to buy it, or upgrade from a previous version. Photography is my livelihood and I’m happy to pay the low subscription fee until such time as it’s not my living any more.Īlthough I actually recommend Photo Mechanic for culling).
If you’re not that bothered about LR in particular, or you’re not a professional, there are plenty of alternatives to consider such as Capture One, but personally I’m fine with Lightroom and it does everything I need. There was a time that I objected to paying for a subscription, but my views have changed and I’m very happy with my Photography Plan that includes Lightroom Classic CC and Photoshop CC and 20GB of cloud storage (which I never use) for just over £100 a year, less than £10 a month. If you need Lightroom professionally, as I do, at this time I strongly recommend just biting the bullet and subscribing to Creative Cloud. That makes the original version of this article completely redundant unfortunately, and I’ve removed the links to Amazon, which used to be the last place you could get hold of it. I’ve looked around the usual places online and I’m afraid I can’t find anywhere that sells official copies of Adobe Lightroom 6, the last version of Lightroom that was available as a non-subscription standalone product.
