How do I transfer Lightroom 4 license from one computer to another?

Hi Adobe Community,
Recently I have purchased a new Windows laptop to replace an older one; in my attempt to transition all files and programs to the new one I found some difficulty in the transferring of lightroom 4.
I know that in order to transfer the license over I would need the serial number (of my purchase) as well as to deactivate lightroom on my old laptop (because I have only 2 codes, one is being used on a home computer and one on the laptop that I am attempting to transition away from, this might be the case for photoshop too). Normally, I would just go into lightroom and follow steps that other users have posted on this forum (going to Help--->System Info to get the serial number) but here is my problem:my laptop can't open light room and I can't seem to find the box of my purchase.
Is adobe able to email me the serial number that I have used or am I able to access lightroom files which could either: a) Allow lightroom to function on my older computer   OR   b) transfer files that could avoid the serial number process    OR C) Have my serial number available for observation.
If anyone is able to help, it would be GREAT!

This is a user-to-user forum so nobody here is going to be able to retrieve your serial number for you. However, if you registered Lightroom with Adobe then the serial number should be available from your account profile. Otherwise I think you need to contact customer "support".

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can i transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

    Hi,
    Recently my harddrive crashed and i had to rebuild my computer. I retreived most of my files but i cannot find where my iweb files are located. Does anyone know where iweb saves files or how to retreive my domain files from the web (if at all possible)?
    Thanks

    Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

  • How do I transfer my music from one computer to another?

    I just bought a new Mac. My iTunes library was on an external hard drive associated with my old Mac. When I import the music, it creates a large "unknown album" with music that was previously identified -- mostly WAV and AIFF files. How do I get iTunes to recognize the structure of my old library?

    Note that WAV files are special in that the track information is not embedded in them as tags.  When you move an individual WAV file the track data does not travel with it.  Anyway, what you really want to do in your situation is:
    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 use iTunes' default preferences settings:  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.
    With the above method your library will appear exactly as it was on your old computer.

  • How do i transfer itunes playlists from one computer to another?

    My old PC with Windows XP and iTunes died for good. Luckily library and playlists were save on and external hard drive shortly before. My newer Dell vostro 1520 laptop has Windows 7 and wish to instal my playlists from my external hard drive into a new iTunes 11.1.5.5. The library is too large to hold on the computer so must remain on my external drive and I've made the link in preferences. The iTunes I was using when I saved it was an older version (if there is a way to find out from the files I haven't found it). I wish to know how to transfer my extensive number of playlists, folders, and track allotment and order from my external drive to my Dell. I could experiment with moving the playlist folder but I have the knack for screwing up my system and that I would like to avoid.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Since things are already broken it might be best to create this layout first then use FindTracks to repair things. Ideally you would have a complete clone of the library on a second drive as a backup. You would have the library folder at the root of the drive and the media folder inside it. Connect to the library by shift-starting iTunes. If everything is in the normal layout iTunes may be able to heal itself if you attempt to get info and locate a missing file when prompted. Otherwise you would direct the script to start its search from ..\iTunes\iTunes Media.

  • How do I transfer paid apps from one computer to another?

    I downloaded iMovie codes to one machine that supervises iPads with Apple Configurator. I need those codes though on another machine now. Can I download the spreadsheet again on the other machine?

    Just copy them to an external drive, move the drive to the other computer and restore them.
    Re-download from your Purchases page on the App Store.
    Connect both computers to your home network and transfer using File Sharing.

  • How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another. I have tried everything I can think of.

    I just got a new Dell laptop and downloaded Firefox before I transferred files using Microsoft's Easy Transfer program. Everything transferred fine except my bookmarks and the toolbar. They didn't go into Internet Explorer either.

    For Firefox bookmarks:
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Export HTML... - to a USB stick <br />
    ''then'' <br />
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file on that USB stick

  • How can I transfer an iPhone from one computer to another?

    Hi all!
    So, I got my boyfriend an iPhone 4 last year and his computer was so outdated that he could not sync it with his computer.  We recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (no Lion for us yet) for both his and my computer and now he can sync his phone with his own computer.  Before, he could not back up his contacts in his address book, or his calendar, etc.  So anyway, when I plug in his phone to the computer, it recognizes it, but will not allow me to create a backup in his iTunes.  It will also not let me "assign" the phone to the computer.  Any suggestions?  Also, even if I do a complete restore, how can I add the stuff backed up to his iCloud once it's restored?  Any help would be great.  Thanks!

  • How do I transfer Safari bookmarks from one computer to another?

    I have 3 macs and want to have the same bookmarks on each...is there an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance! I have Safari 4.0.4.

    Hi
    you could use Safari's File-Export Bookmarks function... and then import
    or copy the file 'Bookmarks.plist' over from Home/Library/Safari/ - although I've seen a few cases lately where some 'custom' permissions have seemingly resulted from this, making the transferred file effectively read-only, so no new bookmarks can be added. Certainly I've done it that way, w/o any problems.

  • How to transfer Lightroom settings  from one catalog to another?

    Lightroom 5. I have combined two catalogs into one "Master Catalog" per Julian Kosts tutorial ( http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-evangelists-julieanne-kost/lr3-merging-individual-lightroo m-catalogs-into-a-master-catalog-/ ) without incident. However, my presets are not to be found. Could there be other issues? How Do I properly get these presets into my Master Catalog?
    How to transfer Lightroom settings  from one catalog to another?

    Nevermind.
    Per the turorials, this is suppose to occur automatically.
    In the rare event that it does not, forced by lack of support through Adobe or the forums, I am relagated to resolve my problem the old fasjion way. Guessing at a solution of dragging and dropping (risking overwritting current the newer LR5 files (careful now).
    I love the product but trying to get problem resolution here has been disapointing.
    I'd like to retract this entire question session.
