Double check RAW file compatibility with your camera if you go for an older version.
TBH after a quick Google, I can't find an old version for sale outright. Best I can see is a bout £90 per year for PS & LR, from Amazon, which at £7.50 a month isn't the end of the world I guess.
I have no idea how the storage function works, and if you lose images if your subscription lapses.

The originals you import and the edited versions are stored on a library on your hard or external drive. You can upload to Adobe's cloud server but this is more a back up rather than an 'instead of'I need something that will deal with RAW files, and the shake reduction function in PS is very good (for scanned images), so that would be essential too. Things like adding borders and text is also good.
I'm not hung up on Adobe stuff, so if some other software has the functions I need I'd be much happier paying a one-off price and be done with it.
Cheers.

photo forums - people upgrading from old version of lightroom to Adobe CC. I possibly have a LR5 licence spare.
I'm now on the Subscription service. I buy a 12 month pass on Black Friday or New Years Sales, typically £ 80 per year and top up my subscription. I also use offers here and there which may give me a months free to extend the subscription plan.
For those who choose to pay on the rolling subscription - even after a year its not a rolling monthly subscription as a phone contract would be - your agreeing to a 12 month period and if you choose to cancel Adobe will seek to recover the rest, and normally settle at 50% of whats currently owing.

Affinity is getting good reviews - one time purchase and free updates.
SD.
I'll second this. There is also the facility to link the Affinity trio. It's very efficient and I bet it will appear on Adobe soon.SD.
Ex-Photoshop here. Never going back.
Same here. Felt quite liberating to delete the Adobe suite

Would Capture One work for you?
Not hard to learn but file system can be strange at first.
25% off at the mow and you can get cheaper versions for one camera system, IE Fuji, Nikon.
As said Affinity is also an option although I've not used it, think I paid £20.
I use Capture One 20 Sony and Affinity Photo, they work well togther and the round trip from C1 to AP is easy. I had LR then ON1 and now C1, in my opinion C1 is a better RAW editor in any case (other opinions are valid too) .Not hard to learn but file system can be strange at first.
