Lightroom Upgrade when you have CC photography plan

[John Sarsgard]

I've used photoshop for many years and lightroom since inception.  Been on the CC photography plan from the beginning.  Want to upgrade one of my old lightroom copies to LR6.  The Adobe code won't let me use LR6 without deactivating one of the two computers I am using with cc 2014.  Seems to think that once I am on CC photography plan, I can no longer pay Adobe to upgrade one of my old versions of LR to use on another computer (laptop for outside the studio).  Adobe reps know less about this than I do, and finally suggested I try the upgrade under another Adobe ID.  This can't be right.  Does anybody know how I can give Adobe the money rather than use repeated free trial versions when I need to travel with the laptop?

You can buy a LR 6 upgrade but it can't use the same Adobe ID as the CC plan. It's kinda gooofy but it is what it is.

Chris Kerns had a good post awhile back that describes what's going on:

Jeff is right about needing a separate ID for the perpetual version if you have a CC subscription.  If you want to upgrade apparently you also have to have the earlier versions of LR, upon which the upgrade is based, transferred to the new account as well.
