Can I use the upgrade version of Lightroom 5 to do a clean install?

Hi, I'm currently an owner of Lightroom 4 (download version, bought from adobe.com) and I'm looking to upgrade to Lightroom 5. At the same time I'm going to be 'moving' the installation to a new machine (currently it's installed on my MBA, which is going to be formatted and sold). Is it possible for me to get the upgrade version from adobe.com, but use the installer for a clean install? Or do I need to install my copy of LR4 first and then run the upgrade over the top?
Hopefully I can do this, if not I'll consider buying the full version again (I really hate upgrading software).
Thanks in advance
Steve

Yes, that will work just fine. You'll just need to make sure you have your LR4 serial number to hand during the installation as you'll be prompted for it to prove you're eligible for the upgrade version.

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

Yes.
Unlike most of Adobe's perpetually licensed software, the Lightroom serial number is multi-platform: works on Mac and/or Windows. You just need the correct installer for the platform (.dmg for Mac or .exe for Win).
If you own any previous version of Lightroom then you can buy the upgrade to LR5.

When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version? (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts? And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?

Thanks, Rich

In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

When I import an old pic, I can't use the latest version and buttons in LR, Why?

I did import an old photo, still in RAW format, but i can't use the latest version of LR, there are some buttons missing. Why is that. I haven´t used LR that much. Only a few times. Is there something I fail to do when I import pictures?
Thank you in advance.

What buttons are missing?
What operating system?
A few details would really help.

That's an interesting question Chris let's look at the original text and parse it:

So the wifi iPad is what he's got and he's moving to japan in a month. Are we clear on that point? But when we get to the second sentence, "Can I use the verizon version of the ipad in Japan network? That's where I'm assuming he's not gotten the Verizon ipad YET. And that is how getting an AT&T iPad is going to solve his problem. Tx.
The Verizon iPad has wifi.
I'm assuming he has a Verizon iPad (why else ask about Verizon?) and the OP simply did not specify "I just got an iPad 2 16GB, Verizon version".

I've installed Photoshop Elements 12 from a CD onto my PC laptop. I'm thinking about buying a tablet, so was wondering if (a) can I install on a 2nd device (b) can I use the serial number online as I won't beable to install from a CD, and (c) will I beable to choose a mac, after the initial was on a PC???? Thanks Martin

A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen). If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well. I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question. Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.

Does an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 bought from a reseller qualify to get the upgrade version of Lightroom 5?

I wish to purchase Lightroom 5 at a discounted price and the upgrade version is attractive. I have an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 which I bought online downloaded from a reseller. Is this OEM version accepted as eligible for the upgrade version?

As an alternative to the OEM route, the Lightroom+Photoshop bundle deal at $10 per month is hard to beat assuming you are not opposed to software as a subscription.

Can I use the trial version commercially?

I've been hired to create illustrations for a book that will be published by a large publisher (who of course have a license themselves). I, however, only have a trial version. My questions are:
1. Can I create the illustrations and have the publisher legally use them commercially "through their license", or do I need to purchase a license myself?
2. Do I need to purchase a license in order to legally use the trial version commercially in the first place?
The person I spoke with from the publisher knew surprisingly little about this, and I want to make sure.
Thank you for your time.

Actually that's not entirely true - it depends on what you want to do with it. Per Adobe's CC Terms of Use (the software licensing agreement):
(a) Evaluation Version. We may designate the Software or Services as “trial”, “evaluation”, “not for resale”, or other similar designation (“Evaluation Version”). You may install and use the Evaluation Version only during the evaluation period and only for evaluation purposes. You must not use any materials you produce with the Evaluation Version for anything other than non-commercial purposes.
(It was also that way for CS6 and before.)

I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard on my desktop, can I use the same version on my laptop?

Q. I have purchased Adobe Acrobat X Standard, can I use the same Serial Number and download it onto my Laptop?

Rosstapper56 did you purchase Acrobat Standard from Adobe directly? If so then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased software.
As Ned has indicated there is no public links for an Acrobat Standard download. If you purchased from a reseller or got it as part of your computer bundle then you will want to work with the reseller/computer manufacturer.
