Hi Ramarren - a question for you - I too have a replacement for my corrosion issue M9 and have therefore the M9 box to sell with unused TAN code. This way he had the latest LR and a nice original Leica box for $40 over what buying LR would have cost. An unused TAN code netted me $130 for the box from another M9 owner who'd bought his M9 used without a box.

Īfter I upgraded to the M-P via Leica's upgrade program for the sensor corrosion issue, I had a left-over Leica M9 box with all the paperwork and the TAN code. Don't download it and save your TAN code. If you already have Lightroom 6.1, there is no difference whatever between that and the download provided by Leica. If that's the case, what does Leica bundle with their cameras? I'm wondering if it's fee-free CC. Adobe has stated unequivocally that there will be no perpetual license LR7 CC only. Leica didn't want to write a raw converter themselves (which, from what I've seen so far was smart), so they licensed LR before there was a subscription model. Then the next question would be what happens in 2016 or whenever Adobe next upgrades? Would the TAN installation continue to work subscription-free in perpetuity? If so, that would be extremely valuable for a user. If the Dehaze effect is present in the TAN installation, then the TAN versions are essentially unlocked CC2015 versions you get the subscription advantages without the fees.

It's the standalone that is "crippled." LR6 remains frozen wrt new features, but CC2015, although released at the same time, gets new ones, like the Dehaze slider, and more recently the ability to brush the Dehaze effect, neither of which is present in stand-alone LR6.1.1 or 6.2.1. Subject to some clarification regarding "dadohead's" point, I'd like to make an optimised decision. Can I delay that, and might I get the slightly crippled CC? It's just laziness to be honest, and v4 is what I'm familiar with. However, I haven't installed it, and instead have stuck with v4.

I purchased a Q in August and downloaded what must be standalone LR6 for Mac with the TAN supplied. This thread is interesting and developing nicely.
