If you have successfully installed LR6, you should be able to find it in the Apps folder inside a sub folder labeled "Adobe Lightroom". Once you have identified the executable, simply drag it to the Dock.
There is only one code base for Lightroom. Your license (or lack of) determines whether it is installed as a trial, subscription or perpetual license.

okay I did drag a LR over to the dock....now Ihave two LR in the dock.....hopefully when I close or shut down next time it will stay there....I figured it would 'take over' the LR4 and go from there.....

thanks again.....tough for an old man not very familiar with computers.... lololol .....thanks again

I'll bet that I am older than you are. I'm glad I was able to work you through the issue. The install of LR6 does not replace LR4. Or LR4 in the Dock. You will need to do those manually. Similarly, for some reason LR6 does not get added to the dock automatically. This might be because there is already a version of LR in the dock. Or is might be some quirk of MacOS.

When you install an application, it is not always automatically added to the dock. That is not an OS quirk, it's because the author has to add that action to the installer. Apparently Adobe didn't do that.
