Installing full version of LR4; do i need to uninstall LR3.6?

I am running Lightroom 3.6 on my desktop (Windows Vista) and my laptop (Windows 8). Do I need to uninstall 3.6 before installing the full version of LR4? (I purchased the full version not the upgrade.) If I save my catalog will I be able to open it in LR4?
Thank you for your help!

No, you don't need to uninstall earlier versions of Lightroom.
Your LR3 catalog will convert (the technical term is "upgrade") to LR4 (actually, a copy will be converted, your LR3 catalog remains untouched)

Problems with Install: Full Version / Full - JDK

It's been a long day but ...
Trying to install both the full version and full -JDK. Both extracts contain several duplicate file versions some with same date/time, others different file sizes and date/time stamps.
The creation of the folder: sqldeveloper per the Install Instructions below doesn't happen:
Unzipping the SQL Developer kit causes a folder named sqldeveloper to be created under the <sqldeveloper_install> folder (for example, C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper). It also causes many files and folders to be placed in and under that directory.
I get a little wild and run sqldeveloper.exe from the extract <sqldeveloper_install> folder (since the other one didn't get created) and all I get is a flash of a DOS window like something is trying to work.
Help?
Thank you in advance!

First of all, even on windows you only need one download - the 65MB one if you don't have an existing JDK 1.5 install or the 38MB one if you do (if you are unsure, I would suggest the larger option). It is a bit worrying that there are "matching" files in both with different sizes/timestamps but so long as you stick to a single zip file, that shouldn't matter.
I would suggest that you blow away your existing <sqldeveloper_install> folder and start again with either the SQL Developer including JDK 1.5 (65MB) or the SQL Developer without JDK 1.5 (38MB), whichever is appropriate for you.
Given the structure of the zip file contents, if you want your <sqldeveloper_install> folder to be C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper, extract the zip file to C:\Program Files (if you extract to C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper, your install folder ends up being C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper).
Then, as you tried previously, the <sqldeveloper_install>\sqldeveloper.exe should start SQL Developer.

Two Questions, uninsall trail version, and then install full version that we downloaded

Hi all, I need to uninstall "trail" verision on one computer, there is only a few apps that we tried out, but I know it good idea to uninstall them first. I then need to download and install a verision that wil bought that is full version, but was downloaded. When I log in on other mac, i cannot find my paid version to download. Also the paid verision is already intstalled on other computer. I can't seem to find the .dmg file on "paid install, Is there a way to copy to flash drive to intalll? I have pretty slow internet. I'm a newbie to adobe, so any help would be appreciated. I followed instruction I found for uninstalling, said to go to apps folded click on program and following instructions, I seem I'm missing something, because it just opens application. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Gerald Hetirck

There is no requirement to uninstall trial versions - they all can be activated by inputting the serial numbers or signing into CCApp. The rest isn't really clear since you didn't say anything about what product(s) you actually bought.

Had a trial version, now trying to install full version from disk and won't work

I am now trying to install a full version of Aperture 3.0 from a disk after having a trial version downloaded a few months ago. Everything goes fine until I click on the icon after installation. A box comes up asking for serial number to upgrade the trial version, but says that it is invalid after I enter it. Product was purchased directly from Apple, so it is a valid disk. I have deleted all the accompanied files that I can find that were on the computer prior to having the full version. What else should/can I do to get this to work?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have deleted all the accompanied files that I can find that were on the computer prior to having the full version.
Did you deinstall all of the files mentioned here?
Re: Aperture Removed...still wants to update
And afterwards open a terminal window (the Terminal is in Applications -> Utilities)
and type the following command:
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Aperture
You will need to enter your admin password.
Then try again to install your boxed Aperture 3 version.
Good Luck

Issues installing full version of 5 side by side with 4?

To avoid potential issues, I'd like to install the full version of Captivate 5 side by side with Captivate 4,
This allows me to avoid upgrading existing courses written in 4, when changes need to be made.
New courses will be created in 5.
Are there any issues getting both to work side by side?
In other programs, I've encoutered errors when different versions of the same program are installed
due to shared code or interactions with other progs. One or the other suffers. Will I encounter similiar issues?
( I'm aware that once a captivate file is in 5 format, it can't be openned in 4.)
Thanks for your reply
-Joan

Hi Joan,
I have both Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 installed on my laptop(XP SP3) and they both seem to work without any issues. So i would say go ahead ....

Unable to install Full version of Tiger 10.4 or even any part of it!

eMac 1.25G 256Mb 80G Combo
Ok. Now that I have a full version of Tiger. I am unable to install it. Have done first aid several times to the drive. Done the one pass of Zero's as well as verified the drive. I have tried the installation approx 7x. It would hang up at different points. 2x i got the Black screen with the 6 different Languages to restart the system. Using Apple Mouse and Keyboard. Oh, and pulling out my hair does not help at all with it working either, i know it now, I did it!!
Thanks for your help..
Bruce

Another possibility: could the 256 MB RAM chip be bad? Faults in just a few memory locations could cause problems during install. Usually, if RAM were suspect, I'd suggest using Memtest in single-user mode, but that's not workable in this case, where there's no OS on the hard drive. Since the odds of happening to have a known-good DDR PC2700 memory chip lying about aren't high, you can at least try pulling the RAM that's in the eMac now, cleaning the connectors, and re-seating the ship, in either the current slot or the other one. There's a small but non-zero chance that the RAM is slightly loose in the slot, and reseating ould help. RAM installation instructions are at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.

Uninstall-Install Full Version DW on Mac

ISSUE: After attempting to uninstall trial version of
Dreamweaver, I cannot install purchased full version of Dreamweaver
CS3 because error message says:
Already Installed. There are no obvious files left.
Preferences folder has been deleted, too.
DETAILS: Prior to purchasing the full version of Dreamweaver
CS3, I downloaded the trial version to make sure it would work on
my Mac. It was an incredible program. I purchased Dreamweaver CS3
as part of the Adobe Master Collection. The installation process
for the Master Collection was very simple. When it came time for
the Dreamweaver portion of the installation, I was alerted that the
installation could not be completed until the trial version of
Dreamweaver was deleted. Being relatively new to the Mac OS, I
called Adobe Tech Support to find out how to delete the trial
version. I was advised that deleting programs on the Mac is as
simple as dragging the folder to the trash. I dragged the
executable file to the trash, and they said that should be it. I
emptied the trash, restarted the computer, and then attempted to
complete the installation process. Same error, it says Dreamweaver
is already installed. I did a search for any files or folders with
the word "dream" in it, and deleted those that appeared to relate
to Dreamweaver. Dumped trash, restart, attempt to install - same
problem, Dreamweaver is already installed.
I cannot find any remnants of the trial Dreamweaver, and I
still can't install the purchased version! I have called Adobe Tech
Support on four different occasions and each time, I have been
transferred from one person to the next, each one not familiar with
the Mac.
I bought the Master Collection so I could have Dreamweaver,
and now it's the only thing I can't use!
I have combed the internet for suggestions on how to fix
this. I have found detailed lists here in Adobe support files that
list each file used by Dreamweaver that must be deleted. I deleted
each folder, file, etc. There doesn't appear to be anything left,
but I still can't install. I can't use the installer program
because it was one of the things that got deleted! The Master
Collection's installer won't install, uninstall, or repair the
trial version.
I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

On the Mac, DO NOT drag applications to the trash to
uninstall them. To
safely uninstall software, double-click
the product installer in Applications/Utilities/Adobe
Installers.
Authenticate as an administrator, then select
Remove Components and follow the on-screen instructions.
If that doesn't exist anymore-

Install full version over TN Windows 8.1 Enterprise RTM‏

Hi
I have installed and setup the TN Windows 8.1 Enterprise RTM‏ evaluation and will now proceed to purchase a full version via our home working business portal. Do I have to do a fresh install with the full version and then re-install all drivers etc
or is there a way to run a repair install using the full version and keeping the files/drivers etc? Or can I use my licence key to turn the evaluation into a full version
Thanks

Hi!
It is possible to install the "new" OS over the other one, it requires some changes in the csversion.ini though, but it's possible.
I allways recomend doing a fresh install since the chanses for corrupt drivers and system files are quite high.
So if you have the possibility, I would backup all files and do a fresh install, then copy the backed up files back to it's original location.
!!!The following part is not supported by Microsoft or any one else and it might ressult in disaster!!!
On the DVD or ISO, there is a file called csversion.ini.
This file tells which minimum version that can be uppgraded when booting the ISO.
So if you change the values under [Host Build] to 7100.0 instead of the original values, you are able to upgrade your OS.
But as I've mentioned, this is not supported in any way and might ressult in disaster!
Best regards

Lost Serialized Insert from PC Ultimate Software Suite-Cannot Install Full Version of Photoshop Elements 12

I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop which was bundled with PC Ultimate Software Suite, a collection of programs on one disc. It included Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, but I misplaced the insert that contained the serial key. I still have the sleeve that the CD was bundled with, as well as the CD itself. Is there anyway I can still download the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 without having to buy the program separately or buying Software Suite again?

If Dell provided the bundle you should contact Dell to see about getting a replacement or the serial for the disk.

Installed full version of LR5 from LR3, missing Library

Hey everyone,
This is pretty much my fault. I got a great deal on LR5 full from Amazon, and installed it on my PC. I was previously using LR3. Unfortunately, because I did not upgrade, I did not include my previous LR catalogue nor the extensive (tb upon tb) images. Instead I loaded my most current work and forgot about the rest.
Well, I finally woke from my slumber and realized most of my Library was missing, and now I want to add it. However, I've already processed so many photos from the new batch. So, what I'd like is to be able to load my previous and extensive LR3 library into LR5, without losing all the adjustments I made to the old work and the brand new work I processed in LR5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Install Full Versions of Apps in CC

I just upgraded from a single CC app, Illustrator, to the full CC. I would like to install Photoshop CC and upgrade my current Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5. But, on my Mac, only a trial version of Photoshop are available to me on Adobe.com and the CC app on the Mac. Lightroom 5 is available only as a trial on Adobe.com and not on the CC app. Can someone please help me figure out how to install the full, non-trial versions of these apps?
I have logged off and on the adobe.com site and CC apps, and it did not help. I also restarted the Mac.
Thanks,
Randy

Cannot install full version of Photoshop CC on second computer

I purchased Photoshop and Lightroom CC and installed them on my MacBook Pro. It was my understanding that I'm allowed to activate my products on up to 2 machines. I downloaded Creative Cloud on my Windows 8 desktop and installed Photoshop and Lightroom, but both are installed as trial versions and asking for a serial number even though the Help menu shows me signed in with the account that I used to purchase my CC subscription. How do I activate the full, non-trial version on my second machine?

I have a Mac with Elements 9 and 10 the plugins all work fine. I was told that when I install full version of 12 it will find prior versions and collect the info. Well it didn't and none of my plugins in the filters menu show. I did select the same direct

I need all my filters that are working in version 10 Mac to show in version 12 Mac. I have selected the same folder I had selected in 10 but only a few plugins show. I need all plugins to show. The install should have found the older versions of Elements 9 and 10 and setup properly, but the installer didn't do it.

Also, no plugins transfer automatically from one version to the next. You must reinstall them, ditto for any third-party additions like actions, layer styles, etc.
The only thing that a new version of PSE should find automatically would be your organizer catalog and photos.
