Buy Lightroom 5 - when Lightroom 6 is on its way?

Hey everyone,
I REALLY want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I've read that Lightroom 6 is due to come out in March. I'd rather get the 6, but don't want to have to arbitrarily wait two months just so that I don't have to pay for two upgrades. Does anyone know if there's a way to buy 6 in advance, and use the 5 until it comes out or like, is there a time window between when you purchase and a newer version comes out that the upgrade will be automatically included in your earlier purchase? Just wondering if there's a way they motivate people (like yours truly) to buy their version when a newer one is expected.
I really need to upgrade (long story), so I'm hoping there's some way to do this! Thanks for any wisdom y'all can provide.

Well, looks like March 9th, 2015 is the expected release date - The box image, new features and specs have already been leaked out.
There are two things you can do if you want to use LR5 now: (1) Use the 30-day free trial or (2) buy LR5 from Adobe directly or an authorized reseller and take advantage of their 30 day return policy once version 6 is released.
On most product releases they also have a free upgrade policy to the newer version if you buy the outgoing version right before it's released (here's more info). It's actually a great time to buy Lightroom 5 as most resellers have good deals on LR5 now so you can buy LR5 at the sale price and get LR6 for free... The only risk is if the release date is pushed out by Adobe and you fall outside of the free upgrade window.

I'd love to buy Lightroom but I can't cause I'm now living in Australia but I create my account when I was living in Belgium.

I'd love to buy Lightroom but I can't cause I'm now living in Australia but I create my account when I was living in Belgium so it says that I can't buy with this account cause I'm not in Belgium. How can I change my country??

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

The standalone version and the CC version are both the same exact program, but the licensing is completely different. It will be necessary for you to uninstall the creative cloud trial version and then install the one you purchased from Amazon. After you install, you will be able to open the same catalog and continue from where you were.

Do i have to buy lightroom again when i switch to a iMac from a pc?

okay bought an iMac tonight and was wondering if i have to buy lightroom for a mac now or can i download it for free?

You don't have to buy it again. The license you own is cross-platform.

Buying Lightroom + Photoshop Elements / Premiere Pro + MC CS5 ?

Hi Community,
i would like to know if it makes sense buying Lightroom 3 AND Phtoshop Elements AND Master Collection CS5 ?
I will definately buy soon the CS5 Master Collection, but do the other tools have possibilites / functions and stuff the Master Collection doesnt have or cant be done with the Master Collection ?
If YES, what are the main differences between LR / PE and the CS5 ??
I have read the product informations for all three mentioned tools, but still can not decide wheather the Master Collection does include the functionality the other two products do (in my opinion and according to the MC CS 5 slogan: the MC CS 5 ist the ultimate software tool that can be everything done with!!!)
Hope for fast reply and wish you an nice weekend.
regards
MC

I got PSE 8 which is way more than I need, and then downloaded the trial of Lr3 - which I love. Pse 8 will do advanced when for me when the time comes. Investigate the features of these two - and see if you actually need MC CS to save money...

Try creating an Adobe ID with your country entered as your homeland when prompted to by the registration process. This should allow you to buy Lr in your country.

I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy Lightroom 5 now, may I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free ?

No one knows.
The usual Adobe policy in the past is if you purchase a version of Lightroom and within 30 days a newer version comes out, they will give you a free upgrade. The problem is, Adobe never pre-announces when the new version will be coming out. (And of course, Adobe could announce a different policy for Lightroom 6)
So, its up to you whether you buy now or wait.

Unless you are really strapped for cash, I recommend buying Lr5 now, and Lr6 when it comes out, and don't think twice if you just missed a cutoff..
That way, you are running the best version of Lightroom now, and will be again in the future, and your money is helping to support the software you use.
The moral of the story: don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish by trying to give a minimal amount to the company which feeds you.. - send the message: "I want the best version of Lightroom you can produce, and I'm willing to pay for it - thank you..".
That said, Lr6 is likely to come out fairly soon, presumably no more than a few months..
PS - There is "always" something enticing for everybody in a new version, despite the features you couldn't care less about.. Lr6 will probably have face recognition (which you may or may not care about), but there will no doubt be some improvements to the develop module too etc..

Hi, I am using Lightroom 5. How do I upgrade to Lightroom 6? Or do I have to buy Lightroom 6 as a new software on its own?

Hi Randolf
Link for German Store - Adobe Deutschland | Software
When you click on 'Kaufen' there is a dropdown box for 'Vollversion' or 'Upgrade'.
Hope this helps.

If I buy Lightroom for PC, can I still use it if I switch to a Mac in the future?

Yes, LR is cross-platform.

I have a trial version of Lightroom 4.. Will I loose my work if I buy Lightroom 5?

I have a few days left on my free 30 day subscription of Lightroom 4. Can anyone let me know if I need to do anything special (as far as installation, etc) in order to buy lightroom 5? I want to keep my edits, collections, etc.
Thanks!

No worries.
Simply install LR5. It will find the catalogs and promot you to update them. This actually duplicates the catalogs to make them compatible with LR5.
You can then delete your LR4 catalog. And uninstall LR4.

Can I still use my Lightroom 4.1 after I buy Lightroom 5?

Hi,
A few weeks ago I bought Lightroom 4.1 Student/Teacher. I saw that Lightroom 5 is coming out soon, if I buy it, can I still use my 4.1 version? Could I even register Lightroom 5 with the same proof that I am a student that I used for registering Lightroom 4.1? I have Lightroom 4.1 on my laptop and was thinking about buying Lightroom 5 for my PC. But I don't know if I can still buy the Student/Teacher version!?
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

The upgrade price is the same as what the student version costs. I purchased an academic version of Lightroom 4, and upgraded to Lightroom 5 online/download. There were no problems, and you don't have to do any of the student verification stuff. I still have both versions installed and active on my computer.

I want to buy lightroom 5 as standalone product. I do not want creative cloud. How can I make this possible?

Thanks YKaan,
I do not like and do not want to pay monthly, also I do not need Photoshop just want lightroom. I want to know if I can just buy and download Lightroom or if I buy the retail package I can just have the program as standalone product.

How can you buy lightroom without getting creative cloud?

Adobe does not sell older versions of their software. You will have to take your chances purchasing thru some third party vendor if you are able to find one.
