If you are not a student, a teacher or an employee of an educational institution, do not get disappointed, because we can reduce Adobe Lightroom price of any of the plans in another way. The point is that Adobe has quite interesting offers, promotions and generous discounts once a month. If you frequently visit the official website, you may notice an interesting offer, as it was recently, during the New Year holidays.
However, it is worth remembering that the offer is limited, and allows you to save only once, and then you will be automatically transferred to the usual payment. Despite the various online resources that offer Lightroom Classic CC for free, the only way is to get a Lightroom Trial version for 7 days on the official website. This is quite an interesting variant for those, who still use Lightroom 6. I also wanted to avoid have in multiple catalogs.
I downloaded the stand alone version of LR6 to update my current standalone LR5. I followed your instructions and have successfully downloaded LR6 update. Problem is I installed LR5 on a bootable external drive to be able to use on a number of Macs. When I choose Update it tells me that LR does not exist. Have restarted using both the on board OS and external OS and no joy. Any ideas? I suspect the latter would not work, as the standalone LR6 updater would be looking for standalone LR5 and would consider a CC-LR5 to be a different app.
Hi Owen, do you know if there is an update available? I can only select full version.. Thanks for answering. Hi Manuela, thanks for commenting! If you get this far, the new upgrade price should appear. The upgrade price should definitely be available to you! Very welcome, Kokko. Many thanks for this most helpful information. I now have an option to give CC the flick if they up the price. Also looking at Capture One. Hi I purchased a Lightroom 6 software license from PC World and have the same problem as everyone else, i.
I only seem to be able to get Lightroom CC on the Adobe site. Will the above link work work for a software download card like the one I have purchased.
Surely putting in a redemption code should indicate to Adobe that I have payed upfront and do not want a pay monthly version. Many thanks. Just a guess though. Thank you for the clear instructions. Just checking, because there is conflicting advice from Leica:.
Before you get to the part where you actually pay for the upgrade, Adobe checks that your serials are valid for your previous full and upgraded versions of Lightroom. Followed your instructions to the letter, and I am now the happy owner of a standalone updated from LR5 copy of LR6…. Great advice…many thanks. Happy to help! I think they just do it to make sure — invest in something like 1Password, or even just Evernote, and keep a record of them all! Hi I have downloaded LR6 upgrade no problems they sent me the key separately when I put this in it says cannot verifi this key code contact customer services spent 2 hrs on that the had no idear just messing me around I have a mac with Did you buy it from Adobe.
If so, did you buy at the upgrade price? And if the answer to all of this is yes so far, have you been asked to verify your LR5 and LR6 codes when installing LR6? Will LR6 last for two years? Sometimes legacy versions do get small updates for stuff like that. Worth a shot! I followed your instructions and…Voila! Thanks for the info Owen, tried to get this and failed until I read your post, it is downloading as I write this.
Thanks for publishing how to get LR6 update. Adobe really do not want people to find it. I have no need, Interest, desire, iPhone or tablet to want a CC version.
I will be looking for an alternative to LR if Adobe continue with this stupid policy. I got the multiple language version too.
Regards TonyW. Has this happened to anyone else? I think there only is that version. Hi, do you know if you can still get standalone Lr 6? I am following your brilliant instructions but only coming up with Lightroom CC….. Thanks for any pointers. Hi Lucy, you can indeed. Are you logged in or out? Hi Owen, found the links ok but before I press the buy button what do actually get?.
I loaded onto desktop and laptop ok. Can I still do multiple devices with V6 download?. Maybe more, would have to google that one! Thanks for the pointers, I was struggling finding that. Adobe are pushing the CC too hard for my liking. Trouble is they make great software but are moving towards an unappealing business model IMHO. I think Creative Cloud is probably a fantastic deal if you want Photoshop too. Or if you can make really great productive use of the cloud features.
Thanks for this, Adobe have great products, but have terrible customer service, spent 5 hours on the phone to them trying to upgrade my companies software once.
Oh boy, took me 30 minutes to find the standalone version. Thanks man! I just double-checked and this definitely works.
