They are changing the API (the way that software such as Lightroom needs to talk to their servers to retrieve maps). The old way that your copy of Lightroom 6 uses is no longer supported. > 3. Why are the people who run large tech companies such jerks? Maintaining and old API in addition to the new API would incur costs to Google, which they do not wish to incur. Adobe incurs costs updating Lightroom to the new API, and they recover these costs through the subscription pricing model, which you have elected not to pay. This is, to be frank, an example of why even "software that's finished and works" requires maintenance, and why software companies are moving to subscription models to the degree that the market allows them to do so. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
