Downloading Lightroom

[heatherr43319525]

This may be a stupid question...I bought the desktop version of Lightroom in store but need to download the software. I am not signing up for the creative cloud, but that's the version that keeps downloading. Is there a difference? I just want the hard version of LR6!

Thanks!

actually, that's one of the more intelligent questions posted today and i'm not being facetious.  there are dumb questions, but that is not one.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: New Adobe Lightroom 6 (CC) Direct Download Links – Free Trials | ProDesignTools

and activate with your serial number.

if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.

the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
