Who knows how to buy the stand alone version of LR 6? I for one will never go the CC route. Someone shared to us how to buy the stand alone. Adobe has kept this procedure a very difficult secret. So, the only problem with this purchase is simply.........no more updates......Boo Hoo.....As it stands, there are very few updates in 6 that are that significant. LR is the industry standard for post processing and version 5 is extremely powerful.......I purchased LR 6 stand alone today....haven't yet installed it as it was late but will do so soon. If you want to know the secret, send me a check for......oh, $35 and I will share Adobe's secret with you.............(I'm such an ego maniac).

I am using a Mac, not a PC. I entered this #
1045-0410-5403-3188-5429-0639 for Mac. This is the number (assuming this is the correct key) I use to download - found on the first page, what other info in necessary for activation? Specifically what is needed for activation if not this # - please state the info so all can see.
Assuming this is the key you are referring to - if this is not the correct info - please state the correct activation key - please be specific as the above # is the only # I see for the Mac on the first page. The first # is for a PC - the second is for the Mac. What else does one need to activate the program.

As you can see, installation was successful - but how to proceed from here is a bit murky. I think my problem may be that I never received an "activate page" upon closing the installation successful page. Why, I don't know. When I click on the Adobe Photo …2.mpkg (arrow), I get the install adobe photoshop CS2 page again (as shown). Kinda like going around in a circle - no end in sight.

This brings me to this: I did not see an uninstall folder (how to uninstall CS2) - would someone that knows the procedure, exactly how the uninstall procedure is done, please drop me a PM or show instructions for it on the forum. If I can't get this to work correctly, removing it is the next step. Any ideas as to how to proceed would be useful.

If I didn't show or didn't do something to make it activate, please advise. I really would like to make it work but if this can't be accomplished, well then I'd just as soon remove it.

I successfully installed CS2 on my Mac with 10.6.8 OS . instructions said - follow on-screen instructions - when you receive a message stating that the installation was successful (it did say the download was successful and I clicked finish), click finish. You may be prompted to activate your copy of Photoshop.

I successfully finished the install but did not see a prompt to do an activation - so what do I do now, what is my next step? Is there something within the info below that I need to click on to activate the download. Please advise. I'm stuck at this point until I know how to proceed.

If you have that phone # it would be greatly apreiceated, just spent 2 hours online and nothing resolved went to my order history to download and all I get is 'code' . I could order the new version but at this point Im pissed...I want what I had paid for really don't need the upgrade....spent 15 min's. waiting while they were "helping other customers" left the room for 2-3 min's. and they cut me off...I know I'm old and cranky but as a last resort why not install a phone in the contact info...JIM

It's not an overstatement for me and many, many others like me. You are obviously very well equipped to detect viruses and such. Sometimes it's not a virus .. it's just an annoying toolbar that takes over your computer operations and is harder than heck to get rid of. I have very competent, computer savy people in my family, and there was one toolbar I got that was extremely hard to get rid of even for them. Freeware is notorious for this kind of thing.

Not only that, you did ignore my other premise that if you obtain your software through legal means, you will receive updates. Now I know there are safe programs to download that are free. Adobe flash player is a good example. All I'm saying is to be sure it's legal and be sure you aren't downloading something you don't want along with it.
