- Lightroom Version Number
- 4.1
- Operating System
- macOS 10.13 High Sierra
I had been running the latest/last of the perpetual license versions of LR (six point something). This was on a 2011 Matchbook Pro running High Sierra. I had originally purchased LR 4.1 and upgraded for free to whatever ... until I had to pay to upgrade to 6 (non subscription version).
Then I had a problem (with RAM, I think) that corrupted the boot SSD (got a black screen with a faint "no entry" logo) and a visit to the local Apple store genius bar required me wipe the SSD to reinstall the OSX operating system.
Now I am trying to get LR going again. I still had my original Adobe install DVD, and have installed 4.1 ... then after a while I got the alert within LR, that a "new software" was available ... 4.4 ... when I click on download, it launches a Safari page that does not contain any visible sign of the aforementioned 4.4
I did find a link via that page that took me to another page where there are links to download various versions of pre-CC Lightroom. ((If I log into my Adobe acct., I can't find any reference to the fact that I paid for the upgrade to pre-CC version 6. Somewhere I have an email that is a receipt from Adobe for that upgrade payment.))
Anyway, not seeing anything, anywhere for the aforementioned "4.4" upgrade download, I did download "6" ... but when I launch it, it asks for a S/N and I put in the one that came with my v4.1 DVD ... it says it's not valid for the just-downloaded v6 ... but it worked for the DVD install (4.1) !!
That is where I am at currently. Thanks for any tips !!
