I’ve been using Lightroom for well over 10 years and owned Lightroom 6.14
About two months ago when opening the app I got a message saying that “Adobe Applications Manager was damaged or Missing.” And I needed to download it with a provided link.
So I downloaded it.
Then it told me that Lightroom couldn’t be opened because I wasn’t connected to the Creative Cloud. In an effort to restore the software to its previous functionality I uninstalled and reinstalled it from the original disk.
Now I get a message:
“ The serial number xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx is already in use by the maximum allowed computers. You must deactivate another computer or provide another valid
serial number to use Photoshop Lightroom 6 again on this computer.”
Adobe Support was worse than useless saying they didn’t support Lightroom 6 and that they weren’t traing on my problem. So they tried to sent me to a Lightroom Classic forum for whatever help I could find.
I feel that Adobe sabotaged my software in order to force me into a subscription.
My guess is that Shantanu has a new boat payment and is being a good Capitalist.
Is there any help or hope of returning to owning what I paid for?
