I bought a license for Lr a few years back and installed it on a mac laptop.  I want to move that license to my new iMac and remove it from my old laptop. How? 
I downloaded Lr on the new iMac but there does not seem to be a way of "registering" the software to give it functionality. 
Thanks!!!

Your Lightroom License key is,
1. Cross platform Mac and or Win.
2. It is a single user / owner.
3. You can have two installations active with one in use at any point in time.
4. There is no deactivate process like other Photoshop products.
5. You can uninstall / install as many times as you need as long as you keep the spirit of the license.
6. The license key is specific to the Lightroom version, i.e License key for LR 4 will not work for LR 5.
7. You can upgrade i.e. purchase from any version of Lightroom 1,2,3,4 to the latest LR 5.

  • I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    No... if you do not have CS3 installed, you will enter your CS3 serial number when asked for proof of a qualifying product... and then you will enter your different CS5 serial number... every version, new or upgrade, has a unique serial number

  • Hi Support, how can I install photoshop again after disk failure. Still says I have 2 copies installed, need to remove one from my old pc.  Thanks for any help.

    After drive failure, I decided to install photoshopcc on my home pc.
    when I try to start it, I get the message "already installed on 2 devices"
    I need to remove it from one of those devices.
    It's not obvious how to do this.

  • Purchased CS5 extended a few years back. Recently got a new computer. Can't find any download links.

    I bought CS5 extended for school a few years back. I just got a new computer and lost my installation CD a long time ago. I have my serial number, but cannot find any download that works. Is there a way I can go through Adobe to download it? Or any legitimate sources?

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    The downloads at this site are actually getting the files from the Adobe servers, which is why it is important that you follow the instructions very carefully.

  • I bought a new iMac, and i have CC on my old iMac and my laptop. since i'm only authorized to use 2 computers, how do i transfer the license off of my old cdesktop ompuetr to my new one

    how do i transfer a cc license from my old desktop iMac to my new one? i use cc on my laptop as well

    Hi Rose,
    You just have to run one of the CC applications on your old iMac and do a "sign out" (on windows this is in the e.g. Photoshop "Help" menu, can't remember for Mac)...which warns you that you can't use CC apps on that computer anymore.
    Then install CC on your new iMac and log in to it. You will then have to use the CC app to install photoshop etc on your new iMac.

  • How can I move Adobe Acrobat Pro from my old laptop to my new one?

    A few years ago I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro. I recently purchased a new laptop. As such, I'd like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro on the new machine, however; I don't want to have to purchase it again. Does anyone know how I can move it from my old laptop to my new one?

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

    Hey louiseg45826294,
    Thank you for posting on Adobe forums.
    Could you please let me know what Adobe Writer program you are talking about. Is it Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
    Could you please share the screenshot of the exact error message that appears.
    Are the PDF forms saved on your computer's local drive?
    Hope to hear from you.

  • I bought a new iMac and am giving my old iMac to my brother.  I do not have my installation disk.  How do I erase all my information?

    I recently bought a new iMac and am giving my old iMac to my brother.  I read up on how to erase my information before handing it over to my brother but they process included having my installation disk.  I do not have that disk.  I need to erase my information and upgrade the computer.

    "Tiger Tiger burning bright ..." (sorry for the poetic diversion ...)
    You can call Apple Customer Support, give them the serial number of the unit and pay $16 per disk to get new copies.  But they may not re-burn Tiger anymore.
    If that is the case, you have to consider buying Tiger disks from an online store, or move up in the cat family.
    Leopard disks only require PPC processors, and run $180 or so.  Apple *may* have some Leopard in stock if you call them.  Else you go online.
    If the sysem has Intel processor, you can jump up to Snow Leopard, which is $29 in the Apple Online Store.

  • I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:

    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • HT3819 how do i get my iTunes library from my old laptop to my new mac (my purchases have moved across but not my own music files)

    How do I get my itunes library from my old laptop to my new imac? My purchases are showing on the new imac but not my own music files.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    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.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
