Is it possible any longer to upgrade from LR3 to LR5 without subscribing to Creative Cloud?

Is it possible any longer to upgrade from LR3.5 to LR5 without subscribing to Creative Cloud? I am not interested in a CC sub at this time.

You can click Buy on this page to purchase LR5 without subscribing:

First, though, download and install LR 5.6 from the Adobe Updates page and make sure LR5 will run on your computer:

Any tips for upgrading from LR4 to LR5

I am just about to attempt my upgrade from LR4 (student edition) to full-fledged LR5. Any hints or tips on how to redirect LR4 directories, etc. to LR5? Other tips for the install? (Obviously, I've backed up my computer prior to starting.)
Thanks!
Rick

Your "full-fledged" Lightroom 5 will be no different than the student version of Lightroom 5, because there is only one Lightroom program. You'll have new features in Lightroom 5, of course. But don't expect anything extraordinary because there is no difference. All you have to do is install Lightroom 5. Since it is an upgrade, it will look for that serial number from your Lightroom 4, and then you will have to enter the new serial number for Lightroom 5. When Lightroom starts it will find your previous catalog and will offer to upgrade it to the appropriate format. The original Lightroom 4 catalog will be left as it was, and completely usable by Lightroom 4. After the upgrade process completes you should be able to see all the images and all the work that you did in Lightroom 4, but you will be using the new program. It's a very straightforward process.

Price to upgrade from LR3 to LR5

Hi,
noob question, is there a cheaper "upgrade" price for LR 3 users? I want to buy the standalone LR5.
Thank you.

and the basic panel is the old format...does not have the new sliders that were introduced in LR 4. Using Windows 7 if that matters.

You have to change the photo to Process Version 2012.
Under the histogram in the develop module is a Lightning Bolt icon. Click on it.

Upgrading from LH3 to LR5 has given me display problems

Since upgrading from LR3 to LR5 my photographs now look slightly posterised or metallic, but when I look in any other windows photo display they are fine. Does anyone know whats going on here and how I can get a correct display again.
I have also had to upgrade from Vista to Windows 8 to allow the new LR to operate, could that have an effect maybe?

HI,
The issues would seem to be centralised on the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars items.
When this item is functioning then you can turn On and Off the "Accounts" for the Mail App and the Messages app in this pane.
Example pic
This Mail, Contacts and Calendars Preferences Pane will be calling on saved data in a file ending in .plist
.plist files are held in ~/Library/Preferences
In Lion and Mountain Lion you have to access this in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and typing the path in to the dialogue box.
Find and drag to the Trash (to delete) com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.plist
These two items seem to be updated when you change a setting in the Mail, Contacts an Calendars pane.
Another thing to check in the Contacts app > My Card
This used to be called the Address Book.
There can be issues with some apps if the My Card (Head and Shoulders icon) is not your own Card.

Can I buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and a student discount? If so, which page do I need? Thanks.

I am trying to buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and with a student discount.
If I go the student discount route on the web U get taken to the 'cloud' options which I don't want.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS Is the upgrade worth it in any case??

I believe there are NO upgrades for Student and Teacher editions but you can see here: Products
If the price is the same as an ordinary upgrade you are probably better off buying that because it can be upgraded in the future.

How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

Well CS5's ship has sailed.
CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have. Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

Upgraded from LR4 to LR5.7. Apparently successful download on iMac27" 5K running OS X10.2. Collections that were clear in LR4 appear badly blurred when opened in LR5.7. What's,wrong?

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions.
John: I back up the catalogue (and optimize/check its integrity) every time I quit Lightroom - which is why excluding it from Time Machine isn't the end of the world. I did rename the catalogue early on in my troubleshooting process - as you say, I didn't like the fact I felt out of control of it.
I tried synchronizing a folder that had some flags: when I'd done there were three flags in the folder. (I have unclicked - and clicked and then unclicked - the 'unsaved metadata' checkbox in View Options: as I say, Lightroom shouldn't be displaying these flags at all.)
Rob: Thanks for understanding why I'm fretting! I've checked my XMP sidecars, as you suggest, and they have read and write privileges. I then checked the last-modified date on the XMPs that came up with flags after I'd synchronized that folder. One of them displayed the time I'd just synchronized the folder (it's one I haven't worked on apart from applying a blanket preset in LR2, and then a blanket update to PV2012 in LR4, as I've done to all the images I haven't yet worked on individually); the other two showed the time (I presume) I worked on them yesterday. I selected these three and applied command-S: they then showed, correctly, that they'd been modified a minute before. So far, that folder's now flag-free. (As I said in my original post, the flags sometimes do seem to vanish if I save enough times - and they're unpredictable, not necessarily appearing on the same images in a collection or folder as before I do I group save/clear conflict.)
Mollysnoot: I don't see how the Mac OS would be doing this (although who knows - I'm not a software expert). I don't have any other programs open that can modify images. And since these flags can reappear instantly when I've dealt with the conflict - before I've had time to take a breath, even - I don't think they represent any actual modifications.

How many computers can I put LR4 onto? (it would be upgrade from LR3)

Before I upgrade from LR3 to LR4, I need to know how many computers I am allowed to put this on (I have desktop and laptop).

Hi,
two computers owned by you and you are not allowed to use lr at the same time (both running) on these computers.

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
Que faut-il faire

I just upgraded from LR3.3 to LR5 and can't print now....

I just upgraded from LR3.3 to LR5 and now when printing on my Epson 2880 the image is printing only a portion of my image - not placing it properly on the page as it appears in the print preview. I have checked with Epson and they confirm all my page size specs and print preferences are correct - Epson says it's a software glitch. The image looks right on the screen in the print preview - yet places the image in a corner of the page when printing, cutting off half of it. Tried it both on 8.5x11 and on 13x19 with two images and had the same problem. I need this fixed ASAP thanks @Adobe @JaneSzaboPhoto

Yes, I have the paper set up properly as 13" x 19" (or 8.5 x 11 when trying more than one size) and even reviewed this over the phone with Epson. All setting are correct and it looks right on the print preview - but shifts the image to the top left of the page and shrinks the image and cuts off the top of the image.....no matter what paper size.

Upgrading from LR2 to LR5: Catalog file appears damaged.

I upgraded from LR2 to LR5. I also moved files from an older mac to a new storage drive and am running LR5 on a new mac. When I try to import & open lrcat2 I get the message that "catalog file appears to be damaged."
I tried optimizing lrcat2 on old computer but that didn't help. LR 2 runs fine on the old mac too. What is happening here??

Hi,
try to select all images and export the images as "new catalog" (if availiable in LR2, I do no know). You need not to export previews and images itself.

LR4 upgrade from LR3 registration keeps failing

I was beta testing LR4, and bought the upgrade today (to upgrade from LR3).. entered the serial number into LR4 Beta to upgrade, entered my registration info, and keep getting this pop up afterwards. Tried contacting Adobe chat support, and got nowhere. Idiots in India. I have tried downloading the file from Adobe as well (instead of just registering the beta) .. keep getting this error (I'm using a Mac):
I try clicking the "goto Adobe.com" button, and it takes me to an "error 404" page.

Hi,
Remove all the versions of LR from the computer and then remove this file from this location (USER)Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom x.0 Registration file
Then install LR by downloading from adobe.com and then serialize with your serial number and then check.

Is it possible any longer to upgrade from LR3 to LR5 without subscribing to Creative Cloud?
