Develop module is disabled.

I have spoken with a David in Chat and he told me to follow some instructions in the SLStore.  I did that and nothing has changed AND now I cannot access chat anymore.  Apparently looks like they don't want to know me.  What am I doing wrong?  How can I fix this?
I have Lr5 and I am on Windows 7

You have the creative cloud version installed. I'm assuming that you don't subscribe to the creative cloud program. If my assumptions are correct then you need to uninstall Lightroom and then download and install from the following link:

  • Bought LR 5 back in March.  After update to 5.7.1 I get a message that development module is disabled and that my 30 day trial? has expired.  Since I am not using a trial version I have no idea what is going on

    After update to 5.7.1 I get a message that my "Develop module is disabled."  It asks me to please renew my membership.  When I open Creative cloud I don't get an option to enter my existing serial number and am told my 30 day trial has expired.  What can I do?

    You downloaded the creative cloud update by mistake. It will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install using a download from this website:

    This will not do anything to your catalog for your images. So after you install the appropriate version you should be able to start right where you left off.

  • Purchased stand-alone copy of LR in 10/2013.  Got a message that Development module is disabled.

    I upgraded from LR 4 to LR5, purchasing a stand-alone version of Lightroom in 10/2014 (less than three months ago) for my PC.  In accordance with instructions from Adobe HELP, I downloaded a second copy of the software to a new Mac in preparation for switching computers and discontinued using the original PC version.  I had to hire a consultant to assist with the transfer of photos due to lack of specific instructions from Adobe regarding a PC to Mac transition, but by early December the transition had been accomplished and LR (now 5.7) was functioning for approximately two weeks.  Shortly thereafter the Development module was disabled with a message that I needed to renew my membership to reactivate the Develop Module!  I never had a membership... I purchased the stand-alone version of the software and wish to use it rather than the subscription version. 
    Added to all my problems with the transition is that we hosted guests for the holiday season and I was unable to show them any of my recent photographs due to the Develop module being disabled.   (My guess is that Adobe is not going to compensate me for this inconvenience!) 
    As far as I can determine, this is nothing that I have brought on myself.  Adobe allows the download of two copies of the LR software and I haven't exceeded that, and I called Adobe Help specifically to ask how to accomplish the PC to Mac transition and was told to download the LR software to the Mac. 
    So how do I reactivate the Development module without paying additional money for a subscription? 

    But to answer your question directly, you have installed the creative cloud installation of Lightroom which requires different licensing. You have to uninstall and then download from the standalone website.

    I recently changed my plan to the photoshop plan which includes photoshop and Lightroom but LR won't let me go into the Develop Module or the other Modules because it says Develop Module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate. I'm still a member so why won't it let me go into Develop Module? or any of the other modules?

    The Photoshop LR CC is active but you have not yet activated it. The activation server shows it. Please log out & log back in of the CC desktop CC.
    The Complete CC purchased last year is active till 11th of July. In case after logging out & logging back in does not resolve the issue, please contact Customer support Contact Customer Care

  • Doesn't launch after 5.5 update "Develop module is disabled"

    Im REALLY HATING my LR 5.5 experience... first it wouldnt launch AT ALL... then that got fixed, worked for A DAY. Re-launched it, and now I get this BS about the "Develop Module Being Disabled"...
    Have tried all 3 "work-arounds" suggested in the forums, none work. About to get a pirated version that ACTUALLY WORKS.
    I REALLY need to work and this isnt helping AT ALL!
    Please help?

    Even though you purchased a license for Lightroom, you have installed the creative cloud installation of Lightroom. It cannot be activated with your serial number. It would have to be activated with your Adobe ID and password. You will have to remove that installation and then install from one of these two links:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1

  • Develop Module Is Disabled. Please Renew Your Subscription To Reactivate The Develop Module.

    Hi
    I have a problem with Lightroom 5.5, has only happened since last upgrade. I open the develop module of LR and the message "Develop module is disabled. Please Renew your subscription to reactivate the develop module" is showing.

    Need this problem solved pretty desperately as I have work I really need to edit.
    Please HELP.
    Thanks

  • I purchased standalone LR5 in December 2014 and installed on home computer.  I have a mobile home with a 2nd laptop and installed       on this one also.  However, I now get a message saying that the Develop module is disabled and I need to renew membersh

    Can anyone help me understand why the Develop module on my 2nd laptop is disabled and asking me to renew membership to reactive.  I have a standalone LR5 which I purchased in December 2014 on the Windows platform.  My 2nd laptop is in a different location to my home laptop and is in my holiday home where I would like to work on my photos when I am away from home.

    thanks for replying.  I purchased online from Adobe and they sent a confirmation email with order number and serial no along with the instructions for downloading. There was no indication at purchase that renewing membership was needed at any time and it's only 3 months since purchase. I have just returned home from my holiday home and checked my home laptop (primary and first installation) and all modules still enabled !!  As far as I understand I am able to install twice as long as not operating both at once. This would be impossible as holiday home with laptop no 2 is 60 miles away. When I installed on no 2, i opened the order email and was able to use the serial no again. Now however it is greyed out. I don't want the cloud version and hope this is not what I have.
    UPDATE 1 April 2015-   I have checked the system info in Lightroom on my first laptop installation (home) and it is definitely a perpetual licence.  I downloaded what I thought was my 2nd allowed download on my holiday home laptop using the original email instructions and serial number.  I checked the system info on this download and it was it is a cloud version!!!!  This doesn't make sense - anyone out there - can I download to 2 laptops in 2 different locations with a perpetual licence??

  • Develop module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module

    I have reported this problem to support and they have taken some log files from my computer. I am still waiting for a fix or at the least, an update!
    In addition to this I have tried the following:
    Removed and reinstalled creative cloud manager and Lightroom. Problem remains!!
    Deinstalled lightroom and reinstalled from the link suggest on this forum. While this restored the Develop module, the basic tab was missing!!
    What is going on?????
    Adobe, I am not happy. I have had no update from your 24 hour support team and I have work to do.
    I have had to resort to using Capture One software and I like it a lot. That said, my subscription to you is renewed automatically every month and when it counts you have failed me.
    Please fix it or update me with the progress

    HI Inexpert,
    If you decide to install Lightroom 5.5 again. Here is a link with a location to download the software. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/unable-launch-lightroom-55.html
    You should not have the issue from before. If you do, then just sign out and sign back in with your Adobe ID.
    Thanks

  • My Lightroom developing mode currently says "Develope module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the module."

    How can I enter my serial to repair this?

    You can't. You have the wrong version of Lightroom installed.
    Uninstall the Creative Cloud version and download and install the Perpetual License Version. It will accept your serial number.
