It's been a long time I am waiting to get the Lightroom updates automatically but I had no chance to see it. I have subscription for Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan. So far Adobe Photoshop has been updated to Photoshop CC 2017, even though I still don't have any updates for Lightroom. Now the current version Lightroom CC 2015.7 is out and I still don't have it. I tried out several times logging in/out, checking for updates within Lightroom and CC Manager as well as installing/deinstalling Lightroom, but it didn't succeed. I also downloaded the Lightroom 2015.7 update and tried to install manually but no chance yet. I as a monthly paid Adobe CC subscriber would like to know why am I not able to get the Lightroom updates. As shown on screenshots below you can see which version of Lightroom I am currently running in comparison to Photoshop. There are new tools and features in the new version of Lightroom which I really need and want like Guided Upright and Dehaze Tool etc.
Download and install the .8 update from here.

What do you mean by "It Didn't Work".
If you downloaded the Mac version of the update and then when installing it you got some type of error then you have a problem with your computer. Could be permissions or hardware fault.
What error message did you get?

The AdobePatchInstaller once opened shows this:

The problem is quoted right in that error dialog. It is a Folder and File permissions problem.
There use to be a setting in the OS X preferences to not allow updates from anyplace other than the Mac App Store. Not sure if that setting is still there as I haven't use a Mac in several years. But that might be what is stopping the update from installing. If that isn't it then it is a ROOT permissions problem that your UserName doesn't have Write permissions for the folders LR need to copy the update to. It is a Mac thing to try to keep you safe and restrict the users from actually using their computer, to keep you safe.

I appreciate your time for replaying. Additionally I have tried to update Hosts as well as getting rid of opm.db file from OOBE in the Library and restarting, deinstalling/installing the entire application and then checking for updates but all are still the same as before. It drives me mad and I come up with no solution.

I'm having the same issue. My Lightroom says it is the 2015 version while all my other CC programs say they are the 2017 version. I've tried so many things with no luck. Did you ever figure this out?
Thank you,
John

You do not have the same problem. LR presently is at version 2015.8. So saying your LR install is at 2015 and all other CC apps are at 2017 is totally normal.
Go to Help > About Adobe PS Lightroom and check the exact version number. Or Help > system info for the same.

I'm unable to import my raw files (ARW) and that is what made me initially think I did not have the most up to date version.
