Here's the text of the email I got (keep in mind, I constantly update. But
at some point, they created the new version even though the older version
is still there. What they appear to be telling me is that even though they
didn't upgrade that and instead pushed down a whole new version, I am not
allowed to use the older version under penalty of death):


Dear Valued Customer,
  At Adobe, we always strive to deliver more value to our customers,
including much requested new features and capabilities, critical bug fixes

applications and as a result, under the terms of our agreement, you are no
longer licensed to use them. Our records show that you may be using the
following version(s) of these applications.
  *LIGHTROOM CLASSIC:6.8*
  Please be aware that should you continue to use the discontinued
version(s), you may be at risk of potential claims of infringement by
third parties.
  Please upgrade to the latest version(s) using the instructions below. By
upgrading, you will continue to receive all the value that Creative Cloud
has to offer.
