Lightroom 6 standalone version download delivered Lightroom CC

I just bought an upgrade from Lightroom 5 standalone (perpetual) version to Lightroom 6. The download, though, installed Lightroom CC. Is this a problem? Do both the CC and perpetual versions show the same name? Do I really have the perpetual version?

Well, I solved my problem. I finally reached an Adobe rep through support chat.
I guess I'm unusual. I'm in the CC Photography plan, but I have a perpetual version of Lightroom 5. I upgraded that to Lightroom 6. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm willing to spend the $79 to have a copy of Lightroom that will still function if I decide to cancel the subscription. (I'm in Photo CC for occasional access to Photoshop and the mobile features.) Apparently Adobe didn't think anyone would do this. LR CC automatically ran when I launced the app because my Adobe ID has a CC Photography account. In order to change it to a perpetual license I had to sign out in the CC version. At the next launch the app gave me the opportunity to create a new Adobe ID and then enter the new serial number. After that it opened as Lightroom 6. I'm glad I had another email address.
