Download Lightroom on New Hard Drive Win 7 64 Bit Error Can't Use Original Serial Number

Hello
I am attempting to reinstall Lightroom 5 on a new hard drive after my old one crashed.
I am using the original download file which I have recovered from the old hard drive.
When entering my serial number for Lightroom I am receiving a message saying "This is an upgrade serial number.  The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is required."
I did not upgrade from an earlier version of Lightroom; I purchased the full version of Lightroom 5 and I only have one serial number.  I was wondering if you knew what the problem might be here.
Thanks

Hi Davidbopper,
The full version serial number should not throw up this message.
I would request you to go through the link below and check in case you might have purchased any previous version serial key.

  • New hard drive on iMac but can't use time machine backup

    I just installed a new hard drive on my 2007 iMac but it will not let me back up to a time machine backup.  I can see the files i want but has the red circle with this message  :The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  help!

    You haven't gone about this the right way. After installing OS X, when you booted from the new drive, you were prompted to transfer data from a Time Machine backup, among other options. That's what you should have done. The simplest, but not the fastest, way to recover is to start over by erasing the startup volume and installing again.

    Did you use migration assistant to copy over programs, documents, and settings? You can't do that with PSE. Elements is not a tidy package in accordance with the apple developer guidelines. The installer strews stuff all of your hard drive in place the migration assistant isn't programmed to look and you can never hope to find all h the bits. You must always install PSE from scratch on a new machine. By attempting to copy it you have made a lot of trouble for yourself.
    You will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    and then you can go around and manually remove what you can reach. Look in applications, your hard drive>library>application support>adobe, your username>library>preferences. In the user library also delete any saved application states for PSE.
    Then you can reinstall from scratch.

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

    I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

    It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
    If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

  • I want to change my old computer by a new one. What about the Première Eléments License? Can I use the serial number on the new one? Thanks

    If I change my old computer for a new one, can I use the Serial Number License of Première Éléments  for the New one. Thanks for your answer. Daniel

    More information is necessary to give you an answer that applies to your specific situation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements is involved and on what computer operating system is it running now and on what computer operating system will it be running on the second (new) computer?
    2. How did you set up your first computer....purchased online download from Adobe to Window 7 64 bit, followed by install there OR installation from Premiere Elements installation disc purchased in box packaging?
    True, Adobe allows a purchased serial number for a given version to be activated on no more than 2 of your computers.
    That is a critical consideration. But in itself that becomes moot if other factors do not fall into place.
    Looking forward to your follow up details.
    Thank you.

  • My old iMac broke so i got a new hard drive installed. How can i retrieve my old purchased items?

    hiya
    got a new hard drive installed and couldn't retreive anything off my old hard drive
    can i get my old purchased items from itunes
    thanks

    Hi hopscotch,
    Log into the iTunes store and do a search to find your previously purchased items. Click the "Buy" button, and put in the same iTunes id and password that you originally used to purchase. A dialogue box will come up indicating that you have already purchased this item and do you want to download it again for free....
    Say yes, and it will be re-downloaded to your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Can't find original serial number - have update numbers, can't open Aperture on new mac

    I just bought a new apple pro and moved over aperture from my imac.  When I try to access aperture on the tower, it asks for my aperture 1 serial number which I cannot find.  (I have the update number.) I no longer have the box.  I registered when I bought my first aperture, and that number must be in my system. I still have the imac.  Where can I find this number?

    The information may be in your Apple Store account.
    Just today, I was in the same situation and having received Aperture 1.5 as a gift, I could not provide a proof of purchase (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861).
    The AppleCare representative sent me to my Apple Store account (store.apple.com - "Account" is at the top right) since I had bought the Aperture 2 and 3 upgrades online.  There, I clicked on "Downloadable software puchases" and I got the list of software including the serial numbers. I entered the v3 upgrade serial number first and then the v2 upgrade and it worked -- even though I did not have the original serial number for v1.5.
    Hope it helps.

  • If I buy a dvd copy of elements can I use that serial number or Key to install it on my imac that does NOT have a DVD drive?

    Buying the DVD is less expensive but I don't have a DVD drive.  So I want to know if I can use the serial number or product key from the box to license a trial download?

    It should work.  You can always contact Adobe Support if it doesn't.
