About Lightroom

Lightroom is a tool for organizing, editing, and developing photos.

It offers powerful features for professionals, such as batch editing using presets, while still being easy to use for beginners thanks to its intuitive slider-based controls.

About a Lifetime License for Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom is available for desktop (Mac, Windows), mobile app, and web.

Under Adobe Creative Cloud, all plans, including all versions of Lightroom, are subscription-only.

A lifetime (perpetual) license or one-time purchase option does not exist.

Updates are included for free with your subscription, so you will always have access to the latest version of Lightroom.

The last lifetime license version was offered as the CS (Creative Suite) version until 2013. Since then, it has been the current subscription-only system.

It is unlikely that a lifetime license version of Lightroom will be offered in the future.

Lightroom Plans and Pricing

Next, we’ll break down the subscription plans currently offered.

There are four types of Adobe plans that include Lightroom.

Plan Pricing Notes
Lightroom $11.99 per month
Photography $19.99 per month Photoshop, Lightroom, Lightroom Classic
Creative Cloud Pro $69.99 per month 4,000 credits/mo for Firefly premium features.
Creative Cloud Standard $54.99 per month Photoshop on iPad, mobile are not included.

* Annual, billed monthly

Some plans also offer different payment options, such as a monthly plan and a prepaid annual plan.

A 7-day free trial is available for all plans except for Creative Cloud Standard.

As the image illustrates, Adobe offers a full refund if you cancel within the first 14 days of your paid subscription.

By combining this 14-day grace period with the 7-day free trial, you can effectively use Lightroom for 21 days at no cost.

Special Offers On Adobe

You can find the special offers such as latest deals, promotions, and discounted plans on Adobe’s official website.

Conclusion

In this article, we’ve explained the details about a lifetime license for Lightroom and its current pricing plans.

We recommend the “Creative Cloud Standard” plan if you use two or more Adobe apps, and the “Creative Cloud Pro” plan if you use three or more.
