Just this week I purchased Lightroom 6 from B&H for my iMac. It downloaded and installed without any problem, but when I tried to use it there was a problem with the library. I called B&H and the Apple support folks there solved my problem in a few minutes, by doing a search on the Adobe site. They did a great job!

It looks like I finally have LR 6 working on my MacBook. I've been working on this for at least two days, and I spent an hour on Adobe Chat to get it resolved. The only way to get it to work was to make a new identity for a user on the Mac. Very strange.

This is not a rare occurrence nor confined to Macs. I have Widows 7, LR 4 and LR 5 both in the same user ID. LR CC had to be installed in new user ID, but the catalogue remains in the old user ID. The images are in a "public" user ID.

Went to Blackest's Windows link (next to last) and somehow got the following link to a standalone upgrade for $79.99.

I had problems loading LR6, the reason was that my PC was a 32bit machine. I had to bite the bullet and reload windows 8.1 64 bit. Which is a pain but ultimately worth while.

Thanks. I had already paid for it, so I didn't want to pay again.

After an hour on Chat with Adobe, I made up a new user, and that non-person was able to load and run LR6. The thing is, that guy didn't even pay or go through several frustrating days of installation. He just signed in, clicked on LR, and it worked fine. So now I have two people using my MBP, me and me. :D

Yes. Sales go very smoothly. I prefer Chat to telephone because there's no rush, and I can read the writing and check my computer as we progress.

I'd like to know why it works when signing in as a different user.

Just out of curiosity, did you try running the cleanup tool that Adobe has on their site to address install/uninstall issues?
It "might" be worth a try to uninstall LR6, run the cleanup tool. then reinstall.
At least you would know if you could clean it up so that only YOU can run the app and not an alter ego! :)
Just a thought

I couldn't find that choice. I could click on Buy and then chose the full version or the upgrade. There was no trial. I thought I was downloading LR6 onto my iMac, and it turned out to be CC version.
