Lightroom Version
Operating System:eek:sx 10.13
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info):hard to say anymore

I purchased, installed and used a standalone version of LR 6.

A few weeks ago I heard there was an update, supposedly the last update before LR ended their stand alone package, so I downloaded and installed the update using their .dmg file.

LR 6 still works ok, but when I go to look it up I get a Help info screen that reads:
Lightroom version: CC 2015.14 [ 1149743 ]
License: Creative Cloud
Language setting: en-US
Operating system: Mac OS 10

I get a "Lightroom CC" banner on startup too.

I'm thinking that Adobe pushed out LR6.14 from the code for LR7.1 LR6/LRCC2015 shared the same code and the only differed was for features that were permitted/ limited by the type of license. I think the same thing has happened here only the coders have gotten sloppy in cleaning up the text associated with each type of license. Yours is not the first example that I have seen of this mis labeling.

You can check to see if the dehaze function shows in the Develop panels. If should not be there if you have a perpetual license.

I saw the same problem after ugrading LR 6.13 to 6.14 on a friend's computer. I didn't notice theat at first, but some weeks later when my friend told that she had a message at the start of LR saying that the demo license will expire in x days. The upgrade did realy installed a CC version.
The only fix was :
- Uninstall LR
- Reinstall LR using Lightroom6_LS11.exe
- Download the 6.14 upgrade package from the Adobe site (Download Photoshop Lightroom)
- Install the 6.14 upgrade package

I am really learning to hate Adobe more than I used to...

I have a NEW problem now - it shows the photo I want but puts up a warning that it cannot be found...

This is not a LR problem OR an Adobe problem. The missing photos has been moved by you or some process outside of LR. On import LR stores the path to the original image in the catalog file. If you move the image file using LR's folder panel LR updates the path. If you move the image file using Finder. LR does not know of this move and the path field remains unchanged. The next time LR need the original file it looks in that field for the location and reports the file missing.
There is a sub menu item "Find all missing Photos" on the Library menu that will show you a collection of all of the images that can no longer be associated with their cataloged path. If it is one or a few, you can probably sleuth these out and correct the problem that you caused for LR. If there are many, then some larger issue is the cause and this issue needs to be resolve to correct the problem. An example of this kind of issue is an External volume that has been disconnected.

No.

I am aware of that, and no one has moved any of those photos.

They are all on the builtin HDD (a Fusion drive)

I am wondering if the LR catalog has become corrupted somehow...

Unlikely. Lightroom would probably fail to open it if it were. Just check where Lightroom thinks the photos are, and where they really are. Remember that you need to check the full path, so if the images are in your Pictures folder, you have to check the path ‘Diskname/users/username/Pictures’. Also be aware of the fact that Lightroom is case-sensitive. So if your username was 'john' and now it's 'John', that will be a different path as far as Lightroom is concerned.

Well, now I cannot reproduce the problem... I shut down LR and then reopened it, so maybe leaving it open for a few days had something to do with this.
