Could you run the old Lightroom in a VM? Ultimately, you might have to unless you migrate or pay up.

Lightroom is inexpensive relative to other tools and everyday expenses I have. The same goes for other closed-source photography software mentioned on threads like this, to the point that I've bought some of it to experiment moving off Lightroom.

Given the propensity of photographers to splurge huge amounts on gear, and their positions on intellectual property, I don't think I'm that unusual. Perhaps within the HN crowd the philosophy is different.

I didn’t object to paying for upgrades when I was actively using the software, but at this point, I’d be paying tens per invocation of the program.

I’ve moved on, I don’t do photography much anymore and if I’m going to be plowing money into something, I’d rather it be in a current hobby.
