Adobe Lightroom Classic 2023 – free download for macOS

Download

How to install & active

(for the versions 12.3, 12.4)

NOTE:

(1). To be 100% sure of success, you should download the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool, then select Clean all (lose all Adobe apps installed). Anyone who has installed Adobe in another version or in another way, elsewhere, has a success rate of about 50%.
(2). From version 12.4, you need to Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) to work, otherwise after Patch will crash.

Step 1: Download the installation file (recommended to use the latest version in the above links)

Step 2: Go to the following link to download and install Adobe Creative Cloud on the Adobe homepage first (If yes, then only) or if you don’t want to install Creative Cloud, run the AntiCC file.

Step 3: Drag the Install file to the Application

Step 4: Open Terminal running the following command:

xattr -cr /Applications/Install.app

Step 5: Then run the Install file in Application> Select Install

Step 6: After running the Success report, open After Effect. A Login screen will appear like this

Anyone who has previously installed any other software in the Adobe suite will probably show the following screen, shelve it, select Quit

Step 7: Then go back to the installer, run the Patch file to the drug. If you encounter the following screen, enter the login password and select Alway Allow (can ask a few times)

You can then delete the Install file in the Application for lightness

That’s it. Those who cannot install it, be civilized, buy the license to support Adobe.

Hello, when I go to install the program just after selecting the language, a box appears that says: “sorry, an error occurred during the installation (code 501). I close all the applications and the problem continues existing. How can I solve it?

The installation cannot continue as the installer file may be damaged. Download the installer file again.

Both open and Show Package Contents.

Downloaded latest version dmg 12.5. SIP disabled

thank you very much for answering, I’ve already done everything you recommend but I can’t remove Creative Cloud icon slash I can’t find unAntiCC either, I have Mac OS Monterrey 12.6, do you have another idea to do it?

I followed all the instructions but the development panel doesn’t work, I think there is a licensing problem and the previous versions don’t work either. Can you help me?
