I had Lightroom 2 and now I don't-- what are my options?

I purchased Lightroom 2 in 2009 for my desktop computer. At the time the computer was running Windows Vista. We finally upgraded to Windows 7 this week. The guy who installed it for us did a "clean" install, meaning he wiped the hard drive and restored files after the new system was in place. I was advised that I could re-install programs--like Lightroom--that had been on the computer previously if I kept my serial numbers. But now that I've gone to the Adobe website I can't seem to download Lightroom, even though I have the serial numbers. I fear it is because I purchased the program almost 5 years ago and somehow my license has ended.
Can anyone help? I would rather not plunk down another chunk of money for a new version of Lightroom. But even if I had to do so, can anyone advise me whether the program will "recognize" the photos that were organized in my old LIghtroom library and incorporate them into the new Lightroom?
I am functional on a computer but not very tech-savvy so forgive me if I am missing obvious clues.
Thanks,
Caroline

I used to be able to type a song title in there and an artist and it would show me my options. Now I have no Search option under Store.
Even when you go to the store, there is no way to search for a song.

Hit the '''Alt''' key ''(Cmd for Mac)'' to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

On your friend's computer with an internet connection, log into the Mac App Store with your ID and download Yosemite from the Purchases section of the Mac App Store. The make a bootable USB install media using

Then boot from that on your computer and install
You need an internet connection to install via Recovery mode

If my hard drive disappears and is no longer running what are my options?

this is a last resort. Dropped the MBP. it wouldn't boot up. wouldn't boot in any mode, did the resets in order. safe mode failed to work as did all the disk util recommendation. It finally booted off the install DVD. Hard drive icon there. Did an archive and install. I did all the disk util prior to archive and install. permissions and disk checked out ok.
Attached a USB external. started backing things up manually. SU came up and i did the combo update to 10.5.8
Restarted MBP and the drive died, not even getting to login screen, onlly endless spinning at startup screen identical to problem after dropping it. installed Leopard on external. tried to set startup disk from internal. icon not there as if drive did not exist.
After HD crash, ran diskutil in verbose mode, device not present when i used the name,
note: this is the second external drive. i did the combo update on the external and it also died. couldn't see the icon. booted into single user mode. device no found. Again, safe mode failed to work as did all the disk util recommendation.
at this time, the external is leopard 10.5, no update, firefox running with adobe flash update.
1. SU combo update, never again. use the one from the Apple website in all future updates.
2. physical inspection of inside revealed no loose connections, broken cables or wires.
3. dropped the MBP on the side of the optical drive which i had to repair and reinstall. works fine now. PRAM battery in good order.
4. looked at every discussion from every forum on here with varying results, all dead ends.
if the drive isn't spinning or responding, is it dead or frozen? is $99 for diskwarrior the next step? Will it even see the internal drive, since no other freeware or shareware recovery apps have been able to see the internal HD.
what are my options? i had no backups made, i have no firewire cable or drive, i didn't know about time machine, i absolutely must have the drive restored, or the data.

diskwarrior manual:
To build a graph for the directory of a disk, all of the following must be true:
1)The disk must appear on the desktop.
2)The disk must be an HFS (Mac OS Standard) or HFS Plus disk (Mac OS Extended).
3)The disk must be locally attached.
4)There must not be any detected hardware problems with the disk.
disk does not appear on HD. therefore i have to assume there is physical damage to internal drive, pull it
install a new one and send the old one to data recovery.
this here concludes today's discussion on "*** were you thinking when you didn't have a back up"
also, investing in Firewire drives and cables is selling out to proprietary mandates that Apple thought up as one more way to tie up its users to Apple theology. reason one i have refused to put the money out for it.
guess the man wins.

My hard drive failed and can't recover. What are my options?

I have an HP 2000 notebook. The arm inside the drive got stuck and made a beeping noise. I was able to open the drive and fix the arm, but now the OS does not boot up and the HD can't be repaired. I don't see any product key for windows 8 anywhere on the laptop, so when I get my new hard drive how do I re-install windows?

I use FF 3.6.18 and don't want to upgrade. I used to be able to click on a PDF link and FF would ask ne if I wanted to view or download. I clicked something in the download window and now I don't get the View option. How do I get this feature back?

I can't find an option to open or view the document first instead of automatically downloading it to my computer

TS1398 Just got an ipad 4generation...I went to join my wifi network. I tried a few times but the pass word I used didn't work. I went to try another pass word and now I don't have the "join" option. I've started over and still no "join" option.

Just got an ipad. I went to join my wifi network at home. I tried a few times with a password that I thought was correct but it didn't work. When I went to try another password it would no longer give me the "join" option. The "join" option will no longer illuminate.

Thanks! Actually, by trying another wifi site we have here at home, I was able to give it another try. For us though, it seems we have an internet problem unrelated to the ipad. We'll have to figure that out.

I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

Help, I've had to re install Elements 11 and now I don't have Orgainzer. How do i get this back? When I click on it from the editor nothing opens and there is no App for it like I had previously. I'm on a Mac

Try this. Uninstall, download from http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html and install from the downloaded file using the serial number from your retail version.

Hi ndhsearch,
I tired looking up your account using the Adobe ID/email address that you use here in the forums. I don't see any Acrobat purchases tied to that Adobe ID. Did you make your purchase or register Acrobat using a different Adobe ID? If so, please log in to www.adobe.com using that Adobe ID, click Manage Account, and the click Plans & Products. Your registered products should be listed there.
Best,
Sara
