Free upgrade to Lightroom 3 if I upgrade to Lightroom 2?

If I shell out $99 to upgrade to 2, will I have to pay again to upgrade to 3? Should I just wait for 3 and upgrade then?
Thanks!

This is not known of course, but I can tell you it is extremely unlikely you will get a free upgrade to LR 3. Whether you want to wait is another question altogether. It could take at least until April until LR 3 is released and LR 2.6 is quite a bit better than LR 1.4, so you might be missing out on several months of LR 2 goodness. Whether that is worth $99 to you is your choice. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when LR 3 will be released, but considering the very unfinished state of the beta, it might take a while.

I have a monthly subscription for PS and Lightroom.
When I opened Lightroom this morning, it told me an upgrade was available through CC. I probably did something wrong, butI couldn't get it to download.
I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.
My CC icon reveals that my software is up to date but I can't get past this register screen, without selecting BUY or FREE 30 TRIAL .

OSX 10.7.4 Lightroom 4.1 upgrade: Revel export option no longer available...

after a lightroom 4.1 upgrade on my Mac OSX 10.7.4, the revel export no longer displays. although, i can attempt to reauthorize the account the option for revel remains unavailable (see screenshot):
i've attempted to reinstall the 4.1 upgrade, but the issue persists. please advise...

Revel is a Publish Service plug-in, not an Export plug-in.....so I wouldn't expect to find it in the Export dialog. It's down in the Publish Services at the bottom of the left-hand panel in the Library Module.

Lightroom 6 standalone upgrade does not install - does not validate the serial number

Hi,
I have bought (Adobe store) yesterday and downloaded Lightroom 6 standalone upgrade (I own lightroom 4).
During the installation in Windows PC I get the following message: "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Lightroom. Please contact the support"
- the Internetconnection is fine
- checked etc/host
- double checked both serial numbers
It is just impossible to install the LR6 upgrade on my Windows PC. There were no problems installing and running LR4...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Having trouble getting my Lightroom 5.0 upgrade to accept my Lightroom 4.4 serial number.

I am having trouble getting my Lightroom 5.0 upgrade to accept my Lightroom 4.4 serial number. I recently installed Windows 8, 64 bit on a second solid state HD on my computer (had a virus problem for which I had to format C and reinstall everything). The new ss HD is drive C and my operating system and my programs are all installed there. All my documents and files are now stored on my original, reformatted drive, which is now drive D. I was using Windows 7, 64 bit. Could all this be the reason my serial number is not being recognized? PHH

Hi 48phh,
Yes Lightroom 5 takes the Serial Number of each previous version and you can do the Upgrade from any 1, 2 3, or 4 version of Lightroom,but somethig different for the Upgrade from the Mac App Store ... see how here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/upgrade-mac-app-version-lightroom.html
you installed Windows 8 and installing only the operating system, but keeping all the app certainly and during the operation something can be lost, especially if you run Clean after installing the system by deleting the folder containing the old system, it's better to wait to do so.
However, no problem, because to do the 'Upgrade all you need is the old serial number and don't need Lightroom4 to be installed on your machine ...

My photoshop has turned into a 30 day trial after upgrading my account to a package with lightroom included!? what is going on?

I have been subscribed to a Photoshop CC only package since 2013, and a friend of mine pointed out that i was paying too much, and i should at least have Lightroom included. So i checked it out, asked some questions at the (Probably a bot) chat service, before i knew it there it was, my option to upgrade to a package with photoshop and Lightroom (Bridge included)
it was time to update my existing bridge and photoshop. After doing this, all of a sudden my photoshop has changed into a 30 day trial! how do i fix this?

FIXED! I have re entered the chat, with the hope of fixing it with someone there, and we fixed it!

Lightroom won't upgrade second PSE catalog

I have successfully upgraded my main Photoshop Elements 11 catalog into Lightroom 5.6.
I have a second PSE catalog I'd also like to upgrade, but not import into the main Lightroom catalog (keeping it as a standalone catalog). According to the user manual, there should be a dropdown available from File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog that will allow me to select this second PSE catalog. However, the dropdown only expands the Catalog info without giving me access to any other catalog. Is there a workaround (or am I doing this wrong)?
For what it's worth, the PSE catalogs are on a separate drive from Lightroom, are in different folder from each other, and the location is not the default location the PSE 11 would have put them. Nevertheless, Lightroom found the first PSE catalog without difficulty.

Per the user's guide, from the Library Module I: File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog
This brings up a dialog box that shows the most recently upgraded PSE catalog. Then, to quote the user's guide, "To choose a different PSE catalog, click the Elements drop-down menu."
There is no "Elements drop-down menu" within the dialog box to click on. The closest thing is an expand triangle opposite "Catalog info," but when clicked, that only displays more detail about the source PSE catalog I have already upgraded. There doesn't seem to be any way to browse to or select a second PSE catalog — which is what I'm trying to do.

You will get LR 4.1 through 4.x (whatever) up until LR 5.0. That's when you'll have to pay for an upgrade.

I got a invalid signature message when downloading the Lightroom 5.2 upgrade

I downloaded the Lightroom 5.2 upgrade but got a message "Invalid signature" do I need to download again or is there an override to complete the installation?

If you are having problems, it is best not to use "Upgrade" in iTunes. DOwnload the installer from the APple site:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
SAve the installer onto your desktop rather than running it from your browser.
Then you can upgrade manually using the installer you saved.
That won't solve your problem, but it simplifies things.
You can often get round the invalid drive message by providing iTunes with the drive while you are installing. DO you know what comes up as drive H:, maybe a camera or external drive?
If you don't have something that comes up as H:, maybe you could plug in a memory stick and allocate drive H: to it.
This article about something else contains instructions for allocating a drive letter.

Lightroom 3.6 upgrade doesn't work

After having installed the 3.6 upgrade I have problems every time I mark an image and select the Update tab. The image is not loaded and I have to force the program to halt.
When I try to use the Adobe site to contact support my serial number for Lightroom 3 is not valid.
I have seen others with similar problens on the forum and I hope Adobe can fix the problem soon as the program is currently not usable.
I would appreciate if there is a way to go back to version 3.5?
Regards,
Rolf

When I mark/select a imge in my library and the click the Develop module,
the loading of the image never completes.
Sorry, I used the term Update instead of Develop because I made a bad
translation of my Swedish tab "Framkalla".
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Have to reinstall Windows. Lightroom is an upgrade going back to version 2. Can I Install version 5 without having an older version installed?

Have to re-install windows. My version of Lightroom 5 is an upgrade going all the way back to version 2. Can I re-install version 5 without having an older version installed?
WaltB2

Can I re-install version 5 without having an older version installed?
Yes, definitely.
Installing older, unnecessary versions simply to install the version 5 upgrade would be a waste of everybody's time and your hard drive space.
Just download and install Lightroom 5.6
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
Enter your Lightroom 5 serial number then enter the serial number for the latest version of Lightroom that you own prior to that (e.g. Lightroom 4 or 3 or 2).

Lightroom 4.4 upgrade

I just downloaded the Lightroom 4.4 upgrade. It won't run and I can't find the saved file from an earlier try.
I am running a Dell Inspiron 1750 with Vista Home Premium service pack 2.

I downloaded the upgrade file, Lightroom_4_LS11_win_4_4, and assured that it would be stored in the "downloads" folder. After the download was complete, for the 7th time, I went to the downloads folder and it was not there. A search of the entire computer did not locate the file. I also assured that I was logged in as "Administrator". I am currently downloading it again. I think I have tried all the possible variations. My Vista has just been updated with service pack 3. The machine has been turned off and restarted. What else can I do? Is the download available on a disk?

Lightroom 6 boxed upgrade

Cannot find Lightroom 6 Boxed Upgrade. Is it being sold anywhere, will it be sold anywhere?

Here's what I see -- what do you see?
At Adobe.com:
On the Products page:

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.

Free upgrade to Lightroom 3 if I upgrade to Lightroom 2?
