How do I upgrade from Lightroom 1 to 4 or 5?

I have registered my Lightroom 1, but it doesn't show as being registered in Creative Cloud. When I go to add the serial number, it says it's already registered and I can't add it. It's not syncing, even though my email addresses are the same. I figure there will be a cost involved from upgrading from 1 to any other version which I am okay with, but the only options I can find are to buy new, as it's not registering that I've paid for Lightroom 1. Or, because it's so old does it not matter and I just have to start from scratch?
I tried to do the online chat with Adobe, but it kept giving me an error on the page and pointing me to the forums.
Thank you.

I cannot make the decision for you about subscribing to the creative cloud. It's an excellent program, and it provides you access to the latest Photoshop and Lightroom. If you have installed Lightroom 5 as a trial version from the creative cloud then it will be necessary for you to uninstall that installation because it cannot be activated with a serial number. It is the same program, but it is licensed completely differently. If you really want to purchase Lightroom 5, then you can purchase it from the following website:
Products
Lightroom is toward the bottom of the page. You'll notice that it says that you can upgrade from $79. When you click on the buy Link you should be able to purchase an upgrade. When you do you will be sent instructions on where to download the program from, and you will be provided with your serial number.
If you decide to subscribe to the creative cloud then you won't have a serial number for Lightroom or Photoshop. Both programs are activated using your Adobe ID and password. And you won't need your Lightroom 1 serial number because you aren't purchasing an upgrade.

  • How do i upgrade from lightroom 4 purchased on itunes?

    I'm trying to install Lightroom 6 upgrade but the version of Lightroom 4 that I am using was purchased on Apple ITunes and so there is no serial number to insert for the older version.

    Hi Allan. This is possible, but you will need to contact Adobe Support. When you do, please reference this article:  https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/upgrade-mac-app-version-lightroom.html  As long as you reference that article, Support will know what to do.

    I am using lightroom 5 and would like to upgrade to lightroom 6. I am not interested in the subscription based craetive cloud model. The website keeps pushing me to the subscription based model. Can someone guide me on how to just upgrade from 5 to 6 (desktop version and not the cloud subscription version)?

    Hello,
    there are informations about your interests here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-6-cc-direct-download-links.html >>> See: Importantly, this new version continues as a downloadable desktop product and is available either with a standalone perpetual license (called Lightroom 6) or via subscription (called Lightroom CC). It’s the same exact program and free trial download below, but the name is changed to reflect the differences in licensing and bundling, as well as the addition of integrated mobile apps & services and future feature updates.
    From there you will find a download link.

    Hi,  I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5.  It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera.  I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download.  8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page.  I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10.  Please can you tell me my options?  Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application.  What should I do?  How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750.  Many thanks, Adam.

    Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

    I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?

    When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

    I am trying to license my recent download of Lightroom 5 onto my recently purchased Macbook with the serial number of the disk I purchased last year for my Windows PC (an upgrade from Lightroom 4).  I receive an error "The serial number you entered is invalid".  Why does CC not recognize this as a valid serial number?

    Soyouca how did you install Photoshop Lightroom?  Please uninstall the current installation using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed please download a fresh copy of the installation files from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the full installer so please download the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 5.
    You may be asked to enter your serial number for Photoshop Lightroom 4.  You can find information on how to locate the serial numbers under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

    Daan, you can convert your Lightroom CC trial into a perpetual license install if you decide to buy the perpetual upgrade. There are instructions for doing that here:  Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6
    William, I see the same thing on B&H. Maybe they aren't selling the upgrades. But you can definitely buy an upgrade from Adobe using the link I posted above.

  • How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8?

    How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8? Unable to find a download? I need to get to the point of ITunes 10.6.8 so I can then upgrade to ITunes 10.7 so that i can sync with my iphone 5.
    Am i on the right path or do i need to upgrade my software which is OS X version 10.5.8?
    Any help is appeciated.

    All these programs levels are a little confusing ..... you currently are on OS X 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8, so you can download iTunes 7.
    You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE, and buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, from the legacy products list. You'll use the DVD they send to install the new operating system, then run Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 7.
    PS. Be sure and have a system backup before upgrading your operating system.

    I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

  • How can I upgrade from Infinity to 56K dial-up?

    I have had Infinity for about a month. At first everything was great, 38Mbps. I am about 25m from the cabinet where the optical fibre is terminated so I expected this to be quite consistent.
    Seven days ago the speed dropped to about 5Mbps and over the next 12 hours or so dropped even further. The last time I managed to get a download speed measurement I recorded a speed of 28.2Kbps (yes, that is Kilobits). I have not had a speed as low as that in almost 20 years. Currently the BT speed tester is not working, I suspect my speed is too slow for it. The BBC speed tester reports my speed as being 0Mbps.
    I have called the BT help line every day since and have been told today that it has finally been escalated to the BT Openreach Engineering Dept. I am told that an engineer will visit me in 3 days time to fix the problem. Why has it taken a week to do this and why can somebody not do something quicker? Is BT Infinity so bad that all the engineers are running around trying to get it to work. People always go on about Microsoft getting customers to test their products, I think BT are doing the same thing with a product which is obviously not suitable for it's task.
    This is absolutely awful customer service. Seven days for a succession of "support engineers" a few thousand miles away reading from a prepared script is not my idea of looking after customers.
    I cannot express how this has changed my opinion of BT.
    A few years ago I worked for a major supplier of satellite communications equipment. BT were one of our first big customers. We had to jump though so many hoops before we installed the equipment it was unbelievable. The system was tested to death before it entered service. What has happened to this level of quality control?
    To reiterate the subject heading - how can I upgrade from BT Infinity to 56K dial-up?

    Hi Satcomman,
    Welcome to the forums! I'm sorry to hear of the problems you're having with your speeds. If you could fill out our contact webform (you can find the link in my profile under "about me") and include details of your home network setup, I'll be able to run a few checks and hopefully find out where the problem lies.

  • How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
    To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
    Download and install the upgrader,  then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

    How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
    The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
    And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
    (However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
    There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
    in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
    You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
    get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
    So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
    Good luck & happy computing!
