From LR3 Student/Teacher to LR4 Standard Upgrade

I'm currently using LR3 Steudent/Teacher Edition and I want to upgrade to LR4; however, I'm no longer a student
and I would have to do the upgrade with the standard edition.
My question is: Is this possible? Can I use the standard update to LR4 from a teacher/student edition of LR3?
If not, what are/is the solution?
Many thanks.

Yes, you can upgrade from the Student & Teacher version to the normal retail version.

  • LR3 Student & Teacher (never installed, but have boxed product) Upgrade to LR5 Regular (non-student) Edition. See Details

    I purchased LR3 Student & Teacher edition a while back; however, never installed it (have the original boxed product). Since I purchased LR3 S&Teacher, I would like to upgrade to LR5 (NON-Student/Teacher edition aka 'Regular Version' as I am NO LONGER eligible).  Can I purchase the upgrade and install it without having to go through the motions of installing LR3 Student, only to replace it 10 minutes later with LR5 Upgrade? I also ask because at the current time, I do not have credentials like I did before when I originally purchased it). I know this may be a very specific scenario, but that is why I am here. I could just purchase the full version, but since I DO OWN the previous, why spend the extra $ on the non-upgrade? What are the best steps? I have an i3 Toshiba laptop and an i5 Dell Tower, both with 6 GB RAM.

    Q:  Amazon.com: Questions And Answers: I have LR 3, can I just buy the upgrade to LR 5
    A: Yes. All versions of Lightroom qualify for the upgrade to LR 5.
    So, unless you have information greater than the Senior Product Manager at Adobe-I will stick with his answer.

  • Can I purchase CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together?

    Hello,
    I don't know if I can purchase both CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together. The restrictions with Student Teacher editions say you can only purchase one license of any Adobe STE product within a twelve month period. Does this mean I could purchase CS5 now and in a year buy LR3 or it's newest version?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can buy both now, or whenever you want.
    Per Adobe's Student Edition FAQ, "Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student and Teacher Edition title ..."
    However, those two products are different titles - so you could get a copy of each.  There's an example of how it works given in the FAQ.
    It's a good thing actually because you probably will never have an opportunity to get a better offer on Adobe products than when you're a student.

  • Creative suite download error from india (student teacher edition)

    I recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite and keep getting an error when downloading.
    I have tried phone support, chat support, and posting support, but am still unable to download my purchase~
    Help!
    T

    I have purchased the "download" version of Creative Suite Master Collection Student Teacher Edition. I have paid for it and sent in my Teacher/Student documents. They were approved. Now I navigate to a page that has buttons for downloading it - its about a 7gb download. My IT guy tried downloading it last night but the download did not complete. He tried a second time and the download came to 100% but again the file did not work. I have contacted him to provide more details for you. T
    I just spoke with my IT guy he says "unable to complete" downloading
    Is this the information that you need?

  • Upgrade from CS3 Student Version to CS4 Standard failed!

    Problem:
    Got a new MacBook Pro 10.9.5 and had to install all my CS software new.
    (NOW: I can't open any of my old CS5.5 files, because only CS3 is working at the moment)
    I'm having:
    CS5.5 master collection upgrade (not working. it says: need an CS4 upgrate!)
    CS3 Design Standard Student Version (is working)
    I recently bought:
    CS4 Standard upgrate (to get back to my own CS5.5 master collection upgrade)
    But now CS4 Standard ask for my CS3 Design Student Version serial number and it is not working, but the serial number is correct!
    I need to choose an Adobe CS3 product, but there is no CS3 Standard Student Version. If I choose CS3 Design Standard my serial number isn't working.
    Can anyone help me?

    I didnt even know contribute went to 4.4 I thought 4.1 or 4.11 was the last version in the 4 series.

  • How do I locate my serial number from the Student & Teacher edition

    Jeff A Wright
    I bought a copy of photoshop cs5 a while back and never loaded it. It is a student edition and I am still taking classes in which I need to use the program. I am no longer able to complete work in the class room so I do need to load it at this time. It looks like where I got into wants me to buy  another copy. How do I load my student verification so I can get to the right place.
    Thank you
    Dora

    Dosaigeon I would recommend reviewing the I have a Student and Teacher Edition product section of Find a serial number.  The process varies depending on how you purchased the product and what country you are located in.

  • Can I buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and a student discount? If so, which page do I need? Thanks.

    I am trying to buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and with a student discount.
    If I go the student discount route on the web U get taken to the 'cloud' options which I don't want.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS Is the upgrade worth it in any case??

    I believe there are NO upgrades for Student and Teacher editions but you can see here: Products
    If the price is the same as an ordinary upgrade you are probably better off buying that because it can be upgraded in the future.

  • How many computers can I put LR4 onto? (it would be upgrade from LR3)

    Before I upgrade from LR3 to LR4, I need to know how many computers I am allowed to put this on (I have desktop and laptop).

    Hi,
    two computers owned by you and you are not allowed to use lr at the same time (both running) on these computers.

  • Upgrading from LR3 to LR4?

    Is there a difference upgrading via download or disc when going from from LR3 to LR4? I have heard people mention that it is better to download the upgrade and enter your registration code from your retail packaging later ?

    As mentioned above the d/load will be the current release whereas the disk version will be 4.0 and need updating.
    There are many differences between Lr3 and 4 though including catalogs (Lr3 catalogs will have a copy made and upgraded) and processing (a new process version) which can alter image appearance of existing files. So don't update the process version on existing files before you have experimented - I do it only when reviewing a file if I feel I can work it better with the new version, not updating the whole lot at once!!

  • LR4 upgrade from LR3 registration keeps failing

    I was beta testing LR4, and bought the upgrade today (to upgrade from LR3).. entered the serial number into LR4 Beta to upgrade, entered my registration info, and keep getting this pop up afterwards.  Tried contacting Adobe chat support, and got nowhere.  Idiots in India.  I have tried downloading the file from Adobe as well (instead of just registering the beta) .. keep getting this error (I'm using a Mac):
    I try clicking the "goto Adobe.com" button, and it takes me to an "error 404" page.

    Hi,
    Remove all the versions of LR from the computer and then remove this file from this location  (USER)Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom x.0 Registration file
    Then install LR by downloading from adobe.com and then serialize with your serial number and then check.

  • Upgrade from LR3 to LR4

    Hi,
    I have a few questions before I install and migrate my LR3 Catalog to LR4.
    Is there an Adobe Read Me document that discusses the do's and don'ts?
    Will my settings for LR3 transfer to LR4? Currently my "Lightroom Settings" is saved with my LR3 Catalog.
    Will LR4 save a new LR4 Catalog based on the previous LR3 version?
    Finally, can I run both programs, LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac OS X 10.7.2? I plan to do this just for the next few months and LR3 Catalog will not point to the same photos as LR4.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    If

    Ian,
    Thanks, yes I started to watch Ms. Kost videos, they are always very helpful. I also looked over the read me, http://www.adobe.com/support/lightroom/read_me/Lightroom4_Readme.pdf
    Just a follow, can I keep and run both LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac? They will point to two different catalogs and photo folders. I want to run a couple of comparisons.
    Thanks again,
    If
    Upgrade Notes
      To update your Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalog simply launch Lightroom 4 and you will be able to select and upgrade your previous Lightroom catalog.
      The Lightroom 4 catalog upgrade process does not erase or remove your previous Lightroom catalogs. If you wish to try the Lightroom 4 30-day trial by upgrading your existing catalog, you may always return to earlier versions of Lightroom and continue using your previous catalog.
    o NOTE: Any changes or work completed in your catalog once it has been upgraded to work with Lightroom 4 will not be available in previous versions of Lightroom.
    o NOTE: The upgrade process will modify the image preview information of an upgraded catalog.(This information is stored in the .lrdata file that is located adjacent to a catalog file in the file system) Returning to a previous version of Lightroom will require that the previews be re-rendered. This can be a lengthy process for those with hundreds of thousands of images.
      Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 6, Photoshop Elements 7, Photoshop Elements 8, Photoshop Elements 9, or Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
      Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 9 or Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
      Lightroom 4 Beta catalogs may be upgraded using the same methods available for Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalogs.
      If you attempt to upgrade the same Lightroom catalog more than once, Lightroom will inform you of the location of the previously upgraded catalog.

  • Question regarding upgrading from LR3 to LR4

    I currently have Lightroom 3 installed on my PC and want to upgrade to Lightroom 4.
    I have not had Lightroom 3 all that long and not too many files are there. I have two questions:
    1. Is it better to uninstall Lightroom 3 and then install a fresh copy of Lightroom 4 or could I just upgrade the current Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4.
    I know I have heard in the past is is usually better to to a fresh install. As I have only had Lightoom 3 for a few months and few files I wondered if
    this was the way to go or would an upgrade be ok.
    2. I actually have the full version of Lightroom 4 (as opposed to an upgrade edition). Luckily for me, my father-in-law purchased it but turned out it was
    not what he wanted so he gave it to me. Can I use this full version to upgrade (if that is the solution to my first question)? I  know I can use it to do a fresh install.
    Also, if you can recommend any links to directions or video tutorials on migrating from LR3 to LR4 that would be great as I am very new to Lightroom.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Yes, it is very easy, as your existing LR3 installation will not interfere with the new LR4 installation.
    Just download LR4.3 from Adobe.
    Then start it, and go for File-Open catalog, and point to your exsiting LR3-catalog. The program will tell you that it needs to upgrade the catalog, which you confirm. This will create a new version-LR4 of your latest LR3-catalog.
    You might not like the name automatically chosen by this upgrade process, so close LR4 and use Windows Explorer to rename it into something meaningful like "LR4 Master Catalaog" or some such. Then double-click on it and work from there.
    Your previous images will show an exlamation mark in develop module for LR3's old process version 2010. Do not do anything on a batch basis for it, as this is not needed.
    Only for images, for which you do not like your previous LR3-develop results so much, click on the exclamation mark and upgrade it to LR4's process version 2012, and manually tweak from there.

  • Upgrading from LR3 Academic to LR4 Std

    I am running LR3 academic.  I have purchased LR3 std and the LR4 upgrade.  What is the process to install LR4 and get the licensing straight?  I am presuming I need to install LR3 std so that it will accept the LR4 upgrade?  Do I need to uninstal the LR3 academic first - will I lose catelogs, presets, etc?  I want to get this right the first time!  Thanks

    No need to install the LR3 first all you need is the LR3 serial number , just start installing the LR4 , once you will enter the LR4 serial number then it will ask for LR3 serial number , punch it in and you will be ood to go.
