There is an update to lightroom 5 but does that require I join the creative cloud?

I was notified that there is an update to lightroom 5.  Does receiving the update require purchasing the creative cloud formate?

The "update" is really what most people would call an "upgrade" to a new version -- Lightroom 6 or Lightroom CC.  You can buy the stand-alone perpetual-license upgrade for $79 from Adobe.com: Products.  Scroll to Lightroom 6 and click the Buy -- you'll then be given the upgrade option.

    I am a long-term user of Lightroom as a standalone product with a perpetual licence. As a retired person on limited income, it is very disappointing to me that Adobe have introduced the 'Creative Cloud' (CC) subscription service in order for me to be able to continue upgrading this excellent product. It will be for me too expensive at the minimum cost of £9 per month. The additional services that CC brings are personally of no relevance or usefulness. Adobe should be prepared to support existing users who are, like myself, non commercial, amateur photographers by giving them the simple opportunity to upgrade to Lightroom 6 as a standalone, perpetual licence product. As a member of a camera club I know my co-members who use Lightroom are equally disappointed by this move to a subscription-only service.

    However, Adobe will soon introduce Cloud only features into Lightroom CC for which LR6 (perpetual license) owners will have to wait until LR7 (paid upgrade).
    That is possible, John, but it is only speculation on your part. Might, not will.

    There is a "Lightroom 6" upgrade available for US $79 if you have a valid license for any of the earlier versions. From what I can tell, the only difference between Lightroom 6 Full, Lightroom 6 Upgrade and LightroomCC is in the license. The download file is the same.
    Other differences - with CC you get LrMobile/LrWeb and they throw in a free copy of Photoshop too.
    Yes, but when I bought my standalone license and clicked on the "Download" button it took me to the LightroomCC page. The downloaded file is named Lightroom 6, but in the CC app the installed program is LightroomCC (2015).

    Hi! I just joined the creative cloud. As a photographer I would like to download photoshop and lightroom. When I try to do this, before the download starts, I get the message: 'we are experiencing some problems, please try later'. I've tried multiple times for the last 3 days but no change... Any ideas?

    Michelmolder please try utilizing a different web browser.  If you continue to experience difficulties then I would recommend reviewing Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install Photoshop and Lightroom directly through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

    Install then enter your serial number.

  • Is there anything similar to Director in the Creative Cloud?

    We are considering updating our current (wildly out of date) version of Director, but there are a number of other products in which we are interested that are part of the Creative Cloud. So, I was wondering if there was anything included in the Creative Cloud that is similar to Director, so we could just purchase just that subscription...? We are currently using Director to create Interfaces and launch videos/PDFs.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Litteandrea,
    I wasn't that familiar with Director so had to read the synopsis here: Adobe Director - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Flash Pro is included with Creative Cloud so that might be one consideration.
    Also, if you install Premiere Pro CS6 it includes Encore CS6 as part of the installation for authoring DVD or Blu-ray content. Depending on what you're wanting to create, i.e. interactive content for a kiosk or something

    Not included with Creative Cloud, you might also want to look at Captivate or Presenter, these are part of the Technical Communications Suite, here is the FAQ FAQ | Technical Communication Suite 5

  • Why isn't Lightroom available as a Desktop app in the Creative Cloud?

    I guess I assumed Lightroom would be a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud and available for Desktop download? Is there any reason in particular why is it not? It's very disappointing....

    Great News! Lightroom 4 is now available as part of the Creative Cloud membership! Learn more from Jeff Veen on the product team blog: http://adobe.ly/Lr4CCM

  • Why does Lightroom disappear from the Creative Cloud manager?

    Today may be a special case.  Now I have "Photoshop CS6", "Photoshop CC", and "Photoshop CC (2014)" on my list of apps.  But Lightroom appears on the list of "try/install" as "try", even though I am paying for the Photoshop/Lightroom combination.
    In weeks past, Lightroom would disappear from the installed list, and would not be anywhere on the list.  I would have to quit the CC manager and restart it to have it rediscover my apps.  No other application ever does this, just Lightroom.

  • Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud,

Thanks so much.

    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

  • I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...

    I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...

    Updates:
    I found why the original backup file is not showing on iTunes. Becuase it is corrupted.
    All other folders contains Infor.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist and Status plist files.
    But the folder that contains origianal backup files does not have those files above.
    I think the only way I can restore the data is using third party extracting software.
    Do you know anything about that kind of software?

  • Just updated to Lightroom CC but I still have Lightroom 5 on my laptop. I thought that CC would replace 5? Why do I need both taking up space on my laptop?

    Just updated to Lightroom CC but I still see Lightroom 5 on my laptop? I thought CC would replace 5?

    Newer versions of Adobe software rarely overwrite older versions. They usually install side by side.
    Sometimes plugins for older versions don't work on newer versions and people often want to be able to choose when they uninstall the older version.
    If you're not using Lightroom 5, feel free to uninstall it.
