Cannot sync Lightroom 2015.9 with Mobile

[mcb888]

I had puchased a standalone copy of LRM 2015.9 online from an individual: License Number: XXXXXXXXXX (Serial Number removed by IanLyons). Just started using in recently.

I also have a 30 day trial of Mobile. I cannot get the LRM photos from my iPhone to sync with my MacBook Pro (late 2015). I have made a 'collection' with those 8 photos on the desktop - but THERE IS NO CHECKBOX FOR SYNC WITH LIGHTROOM MOBILE!  I

On the desktop version under 'Get started with Lighroom mobile' the drip down menu item: 'sync with lightroom mobile - start'   is grayed out.  However, I do see these 8 iPhone photos on my www.adobe.lightroom.comaccount page. Perhaps I need to pay for a subscription for CC?

What to do?

thanks,

Charles

IanLyons comment: Charles, please don't include your serial number in post to forum as it is visible to everyone.

The Lightroom standalone version is not 2015.9. When you install with a serial number it becomes Lightroom 6, and it can be updated to Lightroom  6.14 which is the final update for Lightroom 6. At any rate, there is no mobile or cloud connection with Lightroom 6. In order to have that capability you must subscribe to the Creative Cloud.
