I have been dealing with Mac issues since March, literally. I had time machine backups from the old one, and I had Photoshop Elements 2019 and Adobe Lightroom 6. I login to my Adobe account and see that I had purchased those. Photoshop Elements wouldn't load, so I just purchased a new version. Argh. $100 Now, I'm seeing that it won't let me download Lightroom6 from my account, and for that, they want a $10/month fee. I don't use it that much to justify it. But it annoys me that I did own it legit, and I can't put it on the new computer. Is this hopeless?

Thank you katlady The files did transfer to my new computer, but it won't install. I tried the link, and the "install" files say needs to be updated. I think it has something to do with it being a 32-bit application and apple not supporting.  |

Yes, mammajamma do you have a newer M1 chip computer? That might be the issue. Sorry it is not working. That sucks. I really dislike Adobe’s subscription model. |

I really dislike Adobe’s subscription model. It's not the M1, it's that Adobe didn't update old versions to be 64-bit applications. 32-bit apps aren't supported by macOS anymore because they're inefficient, slow, and memory hogs. Apple's been transitioning hardware to 64-bit for years, and notified app developers in 2018 that 32-bit apps would phase out following year. OP, if you really want to run the old versions of the apps, you can install Parallels on your new Mac, and a pre-Catalina version of macOS on a virtual machine, then run 32-bit apps there. |
