Download Adobe Lightroom 6 (CC 2015) Free Trials: Direct Links
[UPDATE (Nov. 2019) – These still work to download the Lightroom 6/CC 2015 installers. You can also now get Adobe’s new CC 2020 Direct Download Links!]
Yes – the new release of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 is just out and now shipping! There was no beta version/period this time, so we go straight to the final product. And as in the past, this release will work side-by-side with any previous revisions of Lightroom you may have. If you’ve got an earlier version installed on your system(s), Lightroom 6 will ask if you’d like to upgrade your catalog and copy everything over.
This new version continues as a downloadable desktop product and is available either with a standalone perpetual license (called Lightroom 6) or via subscription (called Lightroom CC). It begins as the same program and free trial download below, but the name is changed to reflect the differences in licensing and bundling, as well as the addition of integrated mobile apps & services plus future feature updates (such as the new Dehaze filter or Boundary Warp function).
For more details on the key differences between the two editions, see this comparison guide before you buy.
Lightroom CC 2015 is included as a free upgrade (together with Photoshop CC) in the popular CC Photography Plan – as well as one the many applications that all subscribers get with the complete Adobe Creative Cloud. By contrast, Lightroom 6 stands alone and is sold separately (you can purchase it here directly, either full or upgrade) – and doesn’t receive ongoing feature upgrades, nor any access to Lightroom Mobile or Lightroom web.

And continuing our longtime custom of furnishing the direct download links for major Adobe products such as Creative Cloud, CS6, Acrobat DC, Captivate 11, and Elements 2020, you’ll find the direct links for the all-new Lightroom 6/CC below.
The links given below go to the authentic and secure files residing on Adobe’s servers, are guaranteed genuine, safe, legal, and will not change. They are especially useful when you are unable to download these products via other means – perhaps due to issues with the Adobe’s Download Manager. Here the file access is open and you can just use your browser, or another DLM.
Special: Legally download dozens of free Adobe books for a limited time!

Adobe Lightroom 6 update links are not available.
Do you have another link where I can find it?
Yes. See in the section of the article above where it says, Adobe Lightroom 6/CC 2015 Updates.

That is an Access Denied…
We just tested the Lightroom 6/CC direct links above, and they both still work fine for us. So not sure why you’re having any difficulties, sorry.
You might try a different web browser (like Chrome or Firefox), another computer, or another Internet connection (use wired instead of Wi-Fi if possible).
Also, make sure you’re not blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs – or running utilities like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect. Adobe recommends turning those things off temporarily.
Can I still purchase a standalone perpetual license for Lightroom 6 and if so how can I do it?
Many thanks
No, sorry – you cannot buy Lightroom 6 any longer. About a year ago, this older version from 2015 was finally & completely discontinued by Adobe.
Lightroom 6 stopped receiving new camera/lens support and bug fixes near the end of 2017, and won’t run on modern operating systems like macOS Catalina. Further, the Lightroom 6/5/4 Map module is permanently broken now, because of recent Maps API changes made by Google.
Bottom line, the company no longer makes or sells LR6 – and there’s nowhere that you could purchase it legitimately (and safely), even if you wanted to.
@ProDesignTools
Thanks for your help.
what’s the serial key
You are a life saver.
I do have the LR6 since 2016-2017 purchased with the dvd, but no dvd reader handy.
Recently I changed computers and I was only given the Cloud option.
This helped me to have the software without the need of getting a dvd reader.
Downloaded, installed and my adobe account already has the purchased serial code.
Piece of cake.
Thank you!!!
You bet, Mariana – glad to help, and thanks for your kind words!
