How to install purchasedt copy of Lightroom on laptop without DVD drive?

I bought a copy of Lightroom 5 from Amazon and loaded onto my desktop where it works very well.  However, when I downloaded the trial version onto my laptop, and I tried to license it with the serial number from the disc I just purchased from Amazon, it said serial number is invalid.  Hard to believe I would not be able to use my purchase on the various platforms that I use regularly.

Perhaps you downloaded the CC version rather than the perpetual license version.
Try downloading from here (PC): Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
or here, if you have a Mac: Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh

  • How to install Snow Leopard on a Mac with busted dvd drive

    My problem is that my Mac Mini doesn't read all CDs or DVDs - including the new Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard that I just bought. From the support articles, I figured that I could install remotely, as you do if you have a MacBook Air. I couldn't get it to work, until I read this article:
    http://jasonevangelho.com/2008/11/02/how-to-really-enable-remote-disc-dvd-drive- sharing-non-air-macbook/
    All it took was two commands in Terminal.
    I hope this will be helpful for others too.

    Snow Leopard (SL) upgrade in my mac mini failed part way through and when I tried to re-do the upgrade, it would give me a blue screen (via DVI to my HD TV).
    So, following the advice I found elsewhere, I did the following:
    Booted up my 24" iMac, inserted SL disk into iMac.
    Turned off mini, connected mini to iMac w/firewire cable.
    Started mini and pressed and held the T key on the mini keyboard until it mounted on my iMac (seen in Finder) as a hard drive.
    Started SL installation icon (iMac) and indicated that I wanted to install on the mini hard drive.
    It went through a number of steps, then asked AGAIN which drive I wanted to install SL.
    Then took quite a long time (upwards of 1.5 hours) to install, and the estimated time left during the install would sometimes appear frozen at 40 minutes, but the blue bar kept extending indicating it was making progress.
    I was able to then boot SL on my iMac off the mini hard drive and configure everything (making sure that back to my Mac/mobile me was up and running and the proper in home network was correct).
    Then "shut down" the iMac (which was still running off the mini hard drive), then powered down the mini.
    Moved the mini out to it's normal place and reconnected to the HD TV and started it up and everything was perfect.
    BTW, as many people know, if you're having video out difficulties with your mac mini, it's nice to be able to go "back to my mac" via another iMac to adjust the configuration. It's saved me a couple of times.

    Hi，
    I think you can start your computer and long press F8 or other keys  (depends on the PC model) to enter the BIOS, set the boot option, make the PC boot from CD\ROM Drive, then customize the installation, resize the partition, you can refer
    to this video.

  • How to install Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac with no DVD drive?

    I have bought the Photoshop CS6 Extended for Students for my new Mac and realized that I don't have a DVD drive to install it on. Is there a way that I can install the program without the cd? I have looked into the "free trial then activate" route and Adobe no longer offers a free trial for Photoshop CS6 Extended.

    When I tried to press ESC + F1 in the bios I set only the date and the password but no the boot order and other function.
    I really do not know what to do and how to solve.

  • How to install Elements 12 on MacBook Air with no DVD drive? [was:URGANT HELP NEEDED!]

    I have a MacBook Air, with no CD drive. I just purchased 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Premiere', from the 'Best Buy' store. I asked for help before I purchased the product, to make sure I did not need a CD drive to download 'Photoshop' to my MacBook Air, the lady told me I did not need a CD drive for it to download. I come home to download it, to find that there are no instructions for online downloading or downloading without a CD drive. I have tried calling customer service and doing research on the computer for help and I can not find any answers what so ever. I really need help with this, as I have deleted all of my photos and videos on my MacBook Air to free up enough space for 'Photoshop' to fit on my laptop. Please help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, thanks!

  • Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

    Hi everyone
    I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
    Any help would be very very welcome.

    I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
    We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
    However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    They are excellent and often an employee of their Macintosh unit will assist in answering.

    I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

    It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

  • How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

    How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
    VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
    Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
    I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
    That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
    Tried zapping PRAM as well.
    Thanks for any clues, Rene

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • How to install ICC profiles in Lightroom

    This is probably an easy question, but I didn't see an obvious reply in Google.  I use ICC profiles when I print from Photoshop, but they don't appear in Lightroom.  Is there an easy way to install all my profiles into lightroom?

    Jim,
    Thanks!   I was scratching my head there for a moment, because that's how I install profiles in Photoshop. I couldn't figure out why they weren't showing up in Lightroom. It finally dawned on me that I had had to nuke and re-install Lightroom due to a persistent corrupt file. Apparently the profiles went away with the previous installation.  Thanks for your help!

    Yes, so it's often the case with a used Mac unless the previous owner prepared it for sale correctly.
    If IR (Internet Recovery) is used instead no ID will be needed, but the version of OSX that will be installed is the one that the machine shipped with.
