Bought a stand-alone copy of LR in 10/2013.  Received a message that the development module is disabled.

I upgraded from LR 4 LR5, buying an stand alone version of Lightroom 10/2014 (less than three months ago) for my PC.  According to Adobe's HELP, I downloaded a second copy of the software on a new Mac in preparation for the switching of computers and discontinued using the original version of the PC.  I had to hire a consultant to assist in the transfer of pictures due to the absence of specific instructions from Adobe on a PC to Mac transition, but in early December, the transition has been accomplished and LR (now 5.7) worked for about two weeks.  Shortly after the development module has been disabled by a message that I needed to renew my membership to reactivate the develop Module!  I've never had a membership... I bought the stand-alone version of the software and want to use it rather than the version of the subscription.

Added to all of my problems with the transition, is that we have welcomed guests for the holidays and I couldn't show them one of my recent photos by the development being disabled module.   (My guess is that Adobe is not going to compensate me for this inconvenience!)

AFAIK, it's nothing that I did on myself.  Adobe allows the download of two copies of the LR software I have not exceeded which, I called Adobe Help specifically to ask how to accomplish the transition from Mac PC and and told to download the LR for the Mac software.

So, how to re-enable the module development without paying extra money for a subscription?

But to answer your question directly, you have installed installation creative cloud of Lightroom that requires different licenses. You must uninstall, then download from the stand-alone Web site.
