Activating a free trial version of Lightroom 5

Dear all,
after downloading the free LR5 trial version, I purchased a copy from amazon (in Germany, as I live there). I tried to activate the free version with the code from the packaging, without success. Can anybody help me with what to do now?
Thank you in advance, Albert

Never mind... I solved the problem by de-installing the trial-version and installing the new version with the dvd.
Best regards,
Albert

  • Problem downloading free trial version of lightroom 5

    I downloaded the beta version of lightroom 5 without a problem but when I try to download the free trial version when I click on the download button nothing happens. My wife uses a mac and she got LR5 without any problems. I have altered my firewall and allowed popups but still no joy - can anyone help

    What system are you on? LR 5 won't run on anything but Win 7 or Win 8 even if the Beta ran on Vista and even XP. If you are not on the right OS, it will never work.

  • Apply a DVD-ROM serial number to upgrade from free trial version of Lightroom 5?

    I got Lightroom 5 on a DVD-ROM disc as a gift for Christmas. I want to use it on my MacBook, but it doesn't have a disc drive.  I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom to my MacBook. Is there anyway I can apply the disc's serial number to my free trial download? Other ways to download Lightroom 5 and use the DVD's serial number?

    When you start the trial version, a screen displays indicating how many days you have remaining in your trial. On that screen is an option to indicate that you have a serial number. Choose that option, and you will be provided with another screen where you can enter the serial number.
    Take note that if you downloaded and installed the creative cloud version you will have a different procedure. It will be necessary for you to remove that version and install the trial version from the following website:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1

  • Activation of a trial version of Lightroom 4

    I have purchased Lightroom 4 from Amazon. In the meantime I downloaded a trial version of the program from Adobe. Can I activate the downloaded trial version with the serial number from the purchased disc (haven't got it yet), or do I have to install Lightroom from the disc?

    You can activate the same trial version with the serial number on the Disc , no need to uninstall -re-install.

  • How to activate the trial version of lightroom 3

    Hello,
    I am new here and need some help.
    I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom 3 in my home windows computer and like it very much. I have then proceeded to purchase a box copy which will only arrive after two weeks. However i do not plan to install it on my home computer but my new imac computer at my office where i will do all my photo editing.
    My problem is i cannot wait for two weeks for the product to arrive. Can i download another trial version for my new imac in my office and when the box product comes can i just use the serial number and activate the trial version or do i have to uninstall the trial version and reinstall again. According to my seller she says that i cant do this because i need to reinstall the box product again which sounds weird to me.
    My other question is the earlier trial version that i installed in my home computer, i dont plan to use it anymore, so can i just ignore it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Importing photos puts information for each one into the LR catalog, which is just a database that LR knows how to read and write.  Reopening the catalog with a new install of LR would tell LR where each of those photos is, and what adjustments you'd made.  You don't have to reimport as long as you reopen the same catalog file with the new install.  You could try this on Windows:  uninstall-reinstall-reopen, and see how it works to get comfortable with it.   You only have to reimport if you lose your catalog, and have to start a new one.  If you write the metadata to files, either automatically via a preference, or manually via the Metadata menu item and grid mode, then you can even have your adjustments intact if you have to reimport, but you'll lose your history and other things that are only in the catalog and not in the XMP sidecar files.  These sidecar files is probably the only way to transfer edits from the PC version to the Mac version of LR which you probably hadn't considered.  At least I don't think you can copy the LR catalog file from a PC and open it on a Mac.
    If the LR trial expires before you have a serial number then you can't use it, but once you do enter in the serial number, you can pick up where you left off. 
    Lightroom isn't activated like Photoshop where there is a Adobe-server record of each computer and serial number.  LR is just either an unregistered-trial, an expired-trial or registered.  LR is smart enough to understand if you've installed it on the computer, before, so you can't extend a trial by uninstalling and re-installing w/o reformatting your HD and reinstalling the OS, or at least I think that is enough.

    Hello, I recently downloaded a trial version of Lightroom and then decided to get the monthly photoshop membership.  Now, when I launch Lightroom, my choices are to enter a serial number to continue the trial.  On the adobe website, it says "You can convert your trial to a Creative Cloud complete or single-app membership by purchasing on the Creative Cloud website. After you purchase your membership, your desktop product trial will automatically be licensed upon relaunch."  But this is not the case.  I do not want to risk losing my catalog and the work I have already done in Lightroom, so what should I do?

  • Problem Downloading Trial Version of Lightroom 4 from Adobe Site

    Problem dow
    I am having problem downolading a trial version of Lightroom 4 from the Adobe site. It appears that I can download trial versions of any other digital photography-related product but not of Lightroom 4. About 2 weeks ago I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements and I have been getting familiar with it. I have to make a decision on the best product for my needs.
    I went to Vistek shop in Ottawa yesterday and one of the specialist told me that maybe Lightroom would better meet my needs. Prior to purchasing, I am trying to test both product to understand the fundamental differences. For some reason, when I go to the download site ( https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom) and click on the download button, nothing happens. Given that I am a System's Engineer by trade, I thought that perhaps I cannot install 2 trial copies of adobe products on a single workstation so I tried downloading Lightroom 4 from 3 different PC/laptops but got the same results...
    Can anybody help. This is a bit frustrating given that the Adobe element trial is coming to an end (about 2 weeks) and I want to proceed with purchasing the RIGHT PRODUCT...

    The link, just above, is the latest update to LR 4.2 which may work fine.
    About the original trial download page you had issues with, it does take a few seconds for the download button to become active, and once you click it, it takes a few more seconds for either a login pop to come up or the download, itself, to start, so maybe you have a popup blocker enabled or some security that doesn’t allow the download to occur.  You might try a different browser.  The following link is what the download attempts to use, but you need to have signed in to your Adobe account before trying to use it, I think:

  • Got an email stating :We've reset our Creative Cloud free trial versions." how do I get it?

    I received an email stating We’ve reset our Creative Cloud free trial versions.
    We’re notifying all Adobe Creative Cloud members that we’ve reset the clock on our product trials, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. So even if you’ve previously tried these products, you can try them again to test-drive more than 20 new features.
    Just launch the Creative Cloud desktop app and click “Update” next to the app you want to try.
    but when I go to get the free trial again the free trial botton is grayed out and when I try the download free try thru the In Design link it says In Design is up to date. How do I get this free trial.?

  • Troubleshooting raw files on trial version of Lightroom 4

    Just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 4. Am proficient in PS6 but have never used Lightroom. I decided to do a practice run through Lightroom using a folder from a recent shoot..some jpegs are finished and named, some are left alone and I have all the raw files in this folder and expected the entire file of pics to "show" in Lightroom. Only the named finished pics are showing the image and only the raw files are named but "unavailable" to be seen, and any unworked jpegs are not showing at all. As I say I was just doing a practice run on putting Lightroom 4 through its paces so I could familiarize myself with its use. These are files from a Canon 5D Mark III. Help me troubleshoot this please.
    Sarahle 547

    Although I'm not entirely certain from your problem description, am I right in guessing that these issues are appearing on the Import Screen when you are initially trying to import that folder? If so, "named finished pics are showing the image" I interpret to mean that for jpegs that you have RE-named from original (every file has a name!) you see the thumbnails in the centre panel of the Import screen, which is what you expect.
    Original Raw files, however, do not show the image preview....so what does show, any message at all? For 5DIII raw files you need to be running LR4.1 or later, can you confirm that's what you are running?
    Finally, the jpegs which you haven't re-named, and are not showing, I'm assuming these are part of Raw+Jpeg 'pairs' SOOC, is that correct? If so, go to the Preferences menu in Lightroom and check that in the Import Options section of the General Tab you have checked the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". If it is UNchecked, Lightroom will not show you the Jpeg half of such 'pairs', it will simply make a reference to the Jpeg as a "sidecar" file to the Raw, and the Jpeg cannot be separately processed. Check the option, however, and you do get separate files...

  • I have downloaded a trial version of lightroom 4 to upgrade from my lightroom 3, but it wont open.

    Hi all, I have downloaded a trial version of lightroom 4 to see if I want to upgrade from my lightroom3, but it wont open on my pc. It keeps asking me what program I want to use to open it with, and when I click adobe reader it tells me that it is not a supported file type or the file has been damaged! Help!???

    When I click on the program download in the download file, it asks me if I want to open it. When I click open, it then asks me which program I want to use to open it with, (this window lists all programs such as Nero, internet explorer adobe reader etc) and automatically highlights adobe reader. After I click open with the adobe reader highlighted, it then tells me that it cannot open Lightroom because it is not a supported file type, or the file has been damaged! I have downloaded it twice but neither one is able to open. Thanks so much.

  • Can trial version of Lightroom CC sync with mobile?

    I have the trial version of Lightroom and I have Lightroom Mobile installed on my iPad. I have sync turned on, but on the iPad (logged in) it says no collections available. I can't find anywhere online whether the trial version of the desktop app is allowed to sync. But if I can't sync a small set of photos to understand how well it works, I won't purchase the CC subscription. I can't figure out what the point is of a trial version if you can't see how the sync feature works. It seems like the whole concept of CC is the mobile connection.

    Please refer to:
    Yes, Lightroom mobile is available for iPad and iPhone. With Lightroom mobile, you can edit and organize photos in your Lightroom 5 catalog anywhere, anytime. Lightroom mobile requires a Creative Cloud Photography or complete membership. A 30-day trial is also available.
