Having trouble installing my licensed LR 5 on a new computer.  I have .exe file and also license/serial number. but I am asked only to buy or try.

Old computer died, and I am trying to install LR 5.5 on my new computer.  I have run the exe file and have moved all my picture files and the LR data base files to the new computer.  When I try to open the program (it is listed in  my start menu and is in my system tray, too) a window opens that already shows as selected the option saying I have a license, but there is no way of going forward from that window.  I could choose buy or try out or cancel. I'm obviously missing something here and would appreciate any help.  Should I perhaps run the exe of LR 5 and then do updates to get to 5.5?
I have checked my Adobe account and LR5 shows as being owned by me.  I have NOT downloaded the CC version of LR.  I am running Win 7, 64-bit.

Just FYI, apparently, running LR 5 exe works as we would have expected, and
the link to update to 5.5 comes right up when the program is opened.  Takes
some time, of course (and wants to create a new catalog as well), but it
does work.

  • I'm having trouble installing Captivate 6 on a Win 7-32bit computer

    I am running Win 7-32bit version and am having no luck with Captivate.  It acts like it installed but then nothing is in the start menu.  I have tried closing all other basic programs installing as well.  Nothing seems to make a difference.  Any suggestions?

    Check your Program Files folder whether actualyl something is there. And perhaps there are install logs similar to the CS ones that may shed some light on the matter:

  • Having trouble consolidating iTunes library (to then copy to new computer)

    The music on my iPod was compiled over time from various files on the computer. I am trying to consolidate all the music into a single iTunes library so I can move the entire library to my new computer. When I tried to do that, it said "copying files" and then I got an error message: "Copying music failed. The file name was invalid or too long." What can I do to consolidate my music? thanks

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    To see your iTunes folder click on the Music folder icon in your Finder sidebar.

  • Good day all, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Itunes on my desktop. I receive a message that sttates the older version not be removed and then the installation process is aborted. I am running windows

    Good day all, I am having trouble installing te latest version of Itunes on my computer.
    When it is installing I get a message that states "the older version of Itunes can not be removed."
    Then the installations process is aborted.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook -it just quits midway through.  I have one GB of memory which I think should be enough. Any advice

    I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook.  It's around 4 years old and has 1GB Memory.  The installation just quits around 20 minutes into the process without any error message. My current OS is Leopard.

    but it didn't have Mac OS installed, the previous owner was a Windows 7 user, so that was the only OS installed in my Mac.
    The previous owner should have given you the discs that originally came with the computer. 
    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

    What to be done?

    you got a discount because you bought an upgrade version. it needs proof that you own a previous version. more info can be had if you post in the correct acrobat forum. this forum is for questions and comments about the workings (or not as the case may be) of the forums themselves.

  • Having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash.  Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support.  Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs.  Wondering if a licensing max issue since we did

    having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash.  Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support.  Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs.  Wondering if a licensing max issue since we didn't get an opportunity to uninstall off of crashed machine?

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • For Users Having Trouble Installing...

    If you are having trouble installing and have access to either another Mac or can Boot your old OS, try installing Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Then pop your Leopard disc into it and open the disc using the third button on the main menu
    It will scan the disc when it shows you a list of packages hit the "Verify" button at the top of the window. Then go do something for another 30-45 mins. When you get back it will show a detailed list of files missing, or that don't exist.
    I am missing 124,891 files according to the report and 20,000 of my files have different checksums. I know that my disc is DOA and I recommend that if you are having that problem as well, to schedule and Appointment and get your disc exchanged.
    Hope this helps.

    do you have a volume license?  or a single user license?
