I think I have stored away 6.14 in my hard drive and backup drives as well.

You may not be safe on a new computer. Check your licensing terms for Lightroom. You may only be licensed for one computer. You may be able to transfer the license to another computer, but that could mean another session with Adobe tech support. I wouldn't count on it being a simple installation on a different computer.

I've run into this issue using Adobe Photoshop Elements. It used to be a one time purchase, but I couldn't run it on a different computer if I'd already installed it on one. When you go to validate the installation it will say that it's already been validated on a different computer, so it has to be removed from the old one first. It will likely be problematic with older versions, since Adobe won't make the process easy. Like everything, they want to frustrate you into buying the latest version.

I'm running Photoshop Elements 2020 ( and also Premiere Elements 2020 - video) on my current 2022 desktop after installing it originally on the older 2020 desktop. So somehow I was able to install it on my newer computer. Maybe the later versions of Elements are blocked from transferring.
