If I purchase Lightroom 5 (stand-alone) now

Will I be eligible for a free upgrade to 6 when it comes out?

Wait for version 6.
Nobody (other than Adobe and select friends) know when Lr 6 will be released. My guess (and who cares) is that it will be within the next three months when a new Camera Raw (version 9) is released. Perhaps that will also include the 2015 release of Photoshop.

    If it is asking for a serial number for a previous version then you purchased an upgrade version rather than a standalone version.  You should be able to determine this based on the price you paid.  If you do not own an earlier version then you need to purchase a full version rather than an upgrade.  If you did purchase a full version but acquired an upgrade version then you will need to acquire the full version.

  • Lightroom stand-alone licensing problem

    Hi all,
    I've been using Lightroom 5.6 on a trial basis for a couple of weeks and I want to go ahead and purchase a stand-alone license. So I downloaded the "full" version of LR from Adobe and started it up (no problems reading my existing LR catalogue). Then I get the "Welcome to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" dialog. Two options: "I have a serial number and want to license Lightroom" or "I want to try". So I select the first option, then underneath it says "Need a serial number?" with a "Buy" button. At the bottom under "Country/Region" I select "Canada" where I'm from. When I click on "Buy" my browser opens. For just two seconds a screen appears at the URL http://www.adobe.com/store_selector/storeselector.html, where it looks like I'm supposed to identify my country/region again. But immediately the browser is redirected to the Product Catalog (http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/catalog.html). But here there is no option to buy a stand alone license. If I click on the Lightroom link it just takes me to the general product info page, with no option to buy except from Creative Cloud (which I don't want).
    Anyone know how to buy a stand-alone license for Lightroom?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Go to your Adobe website (Canada), MENU, All Products and select Lightroom (Full or Upgrade - If you have a previous copy).

  • Hi, I live in Panama and I want to know how I can buy online the lightroom stand alone license

    Hi I live in Panama and I want to know how can I buy online the lightroom stand alone license
    thanks

    The only contract-free iPhone 6 that is unlocked is the T-Mobile unit sold directly by Apple.  That is a GSM iPhone.  If the 4G/LTE bands are the same in Panama it should work.  But check with your carrier to see which system they use (CDMA or GSM) and can you just purchase a nano-sim to use in the iPhone 6.

  • Is Lightroom Stand-Alone?

    I am an amateur photographer using Photoshop Elements. I am wanting to find software with some other options, but can't justify purchasing Photoshop. Is lightroom stand-alone, and would it be a good purchase in order to adjust and modify my photos?

    LR's focus is on RAW files.
    While it can also be used to manage and tweak your JPEGs and Tiffs, that
    is basically a convenient addition. You just won't be able to edit your
    images in the same way as you could from a RAW file, because only the
    RAW contains the full amount of information your camera is able to
    record.
    You also need to be aware that an image *needs to be exported* from LR
    as for instance a JPEG or Tiff in order to use it elsewhere.
    This step alone adds a considerable amount of time to the whole process
    and I honestly doubt it's worth it, if you shoot mostly JPEGs and are
    happy with them.

  • Lightroom Stand-alone Operation

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 and I've just received an e-mail announcing a special deal on Ligthroom 5.  I do not use my photo editing SW often enough to warrant a monthly Creative Cloud subscription.  I've looked on like for Ligthroom specs but can't determine if Lightroom 5 can work without access to the Cloud.   Any answers?

    Hi StarPilot01,
    If you do not want to switch to subscription then you have an option to purchase perpetaul license of Lightroom with serial number. Please go through the link for pricing details: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_allsoftware.html?start=50 .

  • I must have missed it but it appears that you can no longer purchase a stand alone version of Premiere Pro?

    I've been using Premiere Pro for years but I guess you can only rent it now by subscription?

  • Purchased stand-alone copy of LR in 10/2013.  Got a message that Development module is disabled.

    I upgraded from LR 4 to LR5, purchasing a stand-alone version of Lightroom in 10/2014 (less than three months ago) for my PC.  In accordance with instructions from Adobe HELP, I downloaded a second copy of the software to a new Mac in preparation for switching computers and discontinued using the original PC version.  I had to hire a consultant to assist with the transfer of photos due to lack of specific instructions from Adobe regarding a PC to Mac transition, but by early December the transition had been accomplished and LR (now 5.7) was functioning for approximately two weeks.  Shortly thereafter the Development module was disabled with a message that I needed to renew my membership to reactivate the Develop Module!  I never had a membership... I purchased the stand-alone version of the software and wish to use it rather than the subscription version. 
    Added to all my problems with the transition is that we hosted guests for the holiday season and I was unable to show them any of my recent photographs due to the Develop module being disabled.   (My guess is that Adobe is not going to compensate me for this inconvenience!) 
    As far as I can determine, this is nothing that I have brought on myself.  Adobe allows the download of two copies of the LR software and I haven't exceeded that, and I called Adobe Help specifically to ask how to accomplish the PC to Mac transition and was told to download the LR software to the Mac. 
    So how do I reactivate the Development module without paying additional money for a subscription? 

    But to answer your question directly, you have installed the creative cloud installation of Lightroom which requires different licensing. You have to uninstall and then download from the standalone website.

  • Can't download new install stand-alone Lightroom 5

    Hi all.
    I am trying to install LR 5 on a new computer. New purchase, downloaded, stand-alone product.
    Running Mac OS Mavericks. When I click the download button, nothing happens. I have tried a 'download link as...' but this just gives me the webpage to click the download button again. I have no error messages. Internet connection is fine, and I was able to subsequently download Adobe Flash with no problems.
    I have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome, all with pop-up blockers off. I am really stuck now and don't know what to try next. Any ideas??
    Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe CS 6 Master Collection Stand Alone won't run

    Purchased CS6 (Stand Alone) upgrade from CS5. Program calls up a Creative Cloud Notice requiring subscription renewal.

    Thank you for your reply.
    The removal of Adobe CC was already done when contract with Adobe expired.  Called 800-443 8158 for technical support. Gave them remote access to my computer. We removed a CC version of Adobe Acrobat, Uninstalled Adobe CS6 , while reinstalling CS6 the wireline  to tech support lost the connection (I was cut off). They didn't call me back or even e-mail me. So I am on my own with your help. Already found that Adobe help referencing the CC Cleaner Tool and downloaded the application. Read the instructions but was reluctant to use it lest I have problems with a working version of CS5. Seems that Adobe is so obsessed with getting customers into Creative Cloud that they failed to give instruction for stand alone users in their Creative Cloud dialog box. Just for grins I selected "Have a Different Adobe ID?" option (already established my ID years ago). A new dialog box appears asking for a serial number. Copied and pasted my serial number then I think I got a thank you from Adobe and like magic all my new CS 6 software is now validated and working. Hope this is of help for others who are done with Digital Subscriptions like Adobe Creative Cloud. I hope Adobe will give us stand alone users a break when it comes to technical support. I don't want to be creative in a cloud.

  • How best to INSTALL my downloaded purchase of Lightroom 5 stand-alone ver. (NON-CreativeCloud) on my Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.5 ?

    So, I’ve just downloaded my purchase of Lightroom Photoshop 5. I bought it via Adobe.com and it’s the full desktop version, stand-alone software version.
    Important FYI:  Please note that I bought the non-CC Lr program to download.
    Question: How do I properly INSTALL it after downloading it onto my Macbook Pro using OSX (latest Mavericks ver. 10.9.5) ??
    I can only find installation instructions for Lr CC and mobile but not for the full, non-CC licensed desktop version which is what I have!
    Perhaps the above is the same step-by-step install process as my said Lr 5 but for whatever reason Adobe doesn’t say so anywhere that I’ve been able to find.
    Any help?
    T.I.A.!
    P.S. FWIW, I’m mostly asking because I’m just afraid to mess up something or install it wrong or in wrong place; I want to make sure I do it correctly so not to corrupt the installation or whatever, even though I’m fairly sure I know how. Double-checking for my own confidences/sanity…

    I am trying to purchase basic lightroom  software (desktop stand alone), but am confsed by the cloud, which I do not really want. My aim is developing RAW from my camera.

    The standalone version doesn't use Creative Cloud features, so if you don't want the cloud just get the standalone version.
    Note that if you want to sync your Lightroom desktop images to Lightroom on an iPad or iPhone (or the Android versions coming later), then a Creative Cloud subscription would be required.

  • Using Lightroom 5 as stand alone to convert RAW, then save to CS2?

    I am a professional photographer, and I am perfectly happy with my CS2 version of Photoshop, as I can get it to do everything I need, without spending another $600 on the newest version.
    Unfortunately the new camera I purchased needs either CS6, or Lightroom 4-5 to process the RAW files.  Can I simply purchase Lightroom and use it as a stand alone product, then save the file as a tiff to further work on it in my CS2?

    Yes, you can do that. You can designate Photoshop CS2 as your external editor. When you choose to edit in Photoshop you will receive a warning that camera raw is out of date, and you can choose to render a copy with Lightroom adjustments. You can configure Lightroom so that the copy will either be a PSD or TIF image. I think most people prefer TIF. Then you can instruct Lightroom not to show that option anymore. From that point forward any time you choose to edit in Photoshop Lightroom will create the TIF image and pass it on. When you save the changes in Photoshop those changes will be reflected in the TIF image that is in the Lightroom catalog.
