Welcome to Lightroom CC. Whether you purchased a Creative Cloud All Apps or Photography plan, the process is the same. Simply download Lightroom from the adobe.com website and install it on your desktop.
-
Go to the Creative Cloud apps catalog. Locate Lightroom, and click Download.
If you are not signed in, you will be asked to sign in with your Adobe ID and password. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note:
If you have a free trial subscription to Creative Cloud, please refer to Download and install a Creative Cloud trial.
-
You can also launch Lightroom as you normally launch any app on your computer. Lightroom is installed in the same location where your applications are normally installed, such as the Program Files folder (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac OS).
Note:
Having trouble with your first download? See Troubleshoot Creative Cloud download and installation issues.
You can download previous versions of Lightroom, such as Lightroom 6, directly from the Creative Cloud desktop app. You can have multiple versions of Lightroom installed on your computer at the same time, if you choose.
Note:
If you purchased Lightroom 6 as a Single App license, and not as part of Creative Cloud, please refer to Download and install Lightroom 6 (Single App license).
-
Find Lightroom in the list, and click the Install menu. Choose the version you want to install from the drop-down menu.
Your new app downloads and is installed on your computer.
Note:
Previous product versions do not overwrite existing versions. You can have two versions of the same app running simultaneously on your computer, except for Acrobat XI (Windows) and Acrobat DC. Installation of these Acrobat versions will uninstall other versions of Acrobat. For more information, see Download Acrobat products.
