I started using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 a few years ago and never want to move to a Creative Cloud plan since I hate paying every month for the subscription. The version I bought was a physical DVD and I didn’t have a DVD drive on my laptop, so I had to use this trick to convert a trial version of Lightroom CC to a licensed Lightroom 6 copy.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work anymore since Adobe discontinued its support for Lightroom 6. They even make it more difficult to download and license the software. If you download a Lightroom CC trial version and try to serialize it with a perpetual license, it will require you to log in to an Adobe account with the subscription plan and won’t show the screen to enter the serial number. Here I will show you how to solve the problem. Read more about how to get Lightroom for free legally without torrents and cracked software.
If you bought Lightroom 6 online, you can go to the Catalog page to find and download it. In case you bought a physical version like me, you will need a direct link to download Lightroom 6. Adobe hides it on this page. Both of the Windows and MacOS versions are available here.

Adobe Lightroom 5 Serial. I started using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 a few years ago and never want to move to a Creative Cloud plan since I hate paying every month for the subscription. The version I bought was a physical DVD and I didn’t have a DVD drive on my laptop, so I had to use this trick to convert a trial version of Lightroom CC to a licensed Lightroom 6 copy. Also, if Photoshop Lightroom finds a beta serial number in its registration data, then it prompts you to enter the retail serial number. Solution 1: Allow read/write access to Photoshop Lightroom registration data. On Mac OS: Quit Photoshop Lightroom. Put here a software name you are looking serial numbers for, i.e windows xp or internet download manager and press search button then, please, don't add serial, keygen and so on to the search adobe lightroom 6, 100 records found. If you purchased Lightroom 4 via the Mac App Store, ensure that Lightroom 4 is still installed on your computer before installing Lightroom 6/Lightroom CC upgrade. If your new 24-digit serial number does not work, contact Adobe Customer Service at 800-833-6687 for assistance.
Then, you just need to download the software and install it on your computer. During the installation, Adobe still requires you to sign in to your account, however, the CC subscription is not necessary and they won’t show any error. When you run it for the first time, you will be able to license it with your serial number.
Now, you can enjoy the standalone version without worrying about the monthly charges.

Adobe have said “Future versions of Lightroom will be made available via traditional perpetual licenses indefinitely” and they have continued to offer the standard, perpetual licence for Lightroom 6. However, it is fxxxing difficult to find on Adobe’s site.
If you want to buy Lightroom with a normal, perpetual licence, don’t try going via Lightroom’s main page – it will only lead you off into the cloud.
Instead, you need to go to Adobe’s Products listing page.
Here are the steps….
1. Go to the Products page for your country or region:
- For other countries, follow the USA link and select Choose Your Region
- If you don’t see Choose Your Region, and an incorrect local office is shown, choose Change
2. Make sure you click the Buy button. Don’t click the link to Photoshop Lightroom 6 as that just takes you back to Adobe’s standard Lightroom page where you get pushed towards CC. Instead, click Buy which brings up this much more obvious screen:
3. Choose the Full or Upgrade version as appropriate. I think the purchase should be obvious from there, and you should get a serial number.
4. When you install Lightroom, you will have to sign into Adobe Creative Cloud.
5. You may be lucky and notice a Licence this Software button – if so, ignore this step. But if you do find you’ve already gone into Lightroom, go to the Help menu and make sure you sign out.
6. Restart Lightroom and you should be asked to Sign In. The next screen is this, so click License This Software:
7. Now enter your serial number and you should be good to go.
If you have a CC licence and a perpetual serial number
It’s messy if you have a CC licence and need to install Lr on an extra computer. As you can run CC on two computers, you can always deactivate the CC installation on one computer and activate it on a third. But that’s tedious and so a few people buy an extra, perpetual licnce copy of Lightroom and want to use its serial number to install on the additional computer. The trouble is, the installation routine asks for your Adobe ID, and then recognises you’ve already activated your two installations.
The official solution is in Adobe’s note on mixed licensing considerations (my italics) :
Serial Number Generator Lightroom 6
If you have both a membership and serial number for Lightroom CC and want the option to enter a serial number with installation, you will need to sign into[ie install] Lightroom with an Adobe ID that does not have a Lightroom membership associated with it. Simply create a new Adobe ID to sign in with. Logging into[Installing and then starting] Lightroom with an Adobe ID with no active Creative Cloud memberships will allow Lightroom to ask for a serial number.
So create that account, ensure you’re signed into it on the computer which is going to have the serial number Lightroom, and then install Lr. Start it and you should be able to enter the serial number.
