Lightroom 4.4 asking for a serial?

im a CC user but im not using lightroom 5 until they fix it. reinstalled 4.4 on my pc and its asking for a serial number. i dont have a serial number as a cc subscriber so what to do to activate it?

Your CC subscription does not give you a license to LR4.
If you have never purchased LR4, then you can't activate LR4, but you can use it as a 30-day trial.

:When launches lightroom 2.3,asks for the serial no when enters the serial no accepts it but then closes automatically

Here is her post from yesterday:

This has been an occasional problem with LR2 since its gitgo on Vista. In August 2008 I couldn't get a purchased LR2 upgrade serial # to stick when I entered both it and the LR1 serial # correctly in a trial version of LR2.0 until I uninstalled the trial and downloaded/installed the upgrade file from my account. I haven't had the problem since then.
She is correct that the registry line referred to in the Adobe Tech Note doesn't seem to be present, at least in Vista 64 bit's registry on my machines.
BTW, this was true on both my laptop, which had only 2.0 installed, and my desktop, which had both LR 1.4.1 and LR 2.0 installed

Lightroom 5 keeps asking for my serial number. Help me stop this madness!

I have the latest version of lightroom 5. My copy is constantly asking me to enter my serial number. It does not ask me everytime I launch LR, but maybe every 5 to 8 times I open LR.
I am on a windows 7 laptop.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you

I had a problem with that post. While it is pretty exhaustive, at first there was a major problem that baffled me. So if anyone is having trouble with the instructions here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/800907?tstart=0 , here is what happened to me and how I got past it.
My problem was that I had been told by Lightroom about 10 times to enter my serial number. I was so fed up on the tenth time, I immediately quit Lightroom and tried to search the internet for answers. I came across the post above but could not get it to work. Why? because the post/link above asks one to search, in a couple of different folders, for a file called "Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg" (because I have version 5 of the software, your number may be different).
Well I searched and searched both of the locations it told me to look in and I could not find that file. There were no other instructions about what to do if the file did not exist.
It took me about a day to realize that the reason I could not find the file was because on the tenth time Lightroom asked me to enter my serial number, I instead closed the program out of frustration. What I needed to do was reenter my serial number AGAIN, then the file would show up.
When I realized that, I easily found the registration file which allowed me to follow the directions in the post/link above.
So the moral of the story is to re-enter your serial number before searching for the file.
I should have realized this earlier, but I was just so frustrated with re-entering my serial number, I decided I was going to solve the problem first before entering that dam long number AGAIN.
Thank you dj_paige for pointing out the article and leading me back to it.

Lightroom 5 keeps asking for a serial every time it starts after activation

I just purchsed an upgrade serial for Lightroom 5. I enter it at the Try/Buy splash screen, it indicates that it is correct (green checkmark), I also provide the LR4 serial (autofilled, as it is still installed, green checkmarked), and hit Finish. Lightroom starts properly, but it shows the try/buy splash screen again at next launch. And this goes on forever.
I contacted customer support, chatted with 2 agents, they were completely incompetent, and kept me waiting forever after finally understanding what my problem was.
So now I have a purchased serial number and only 2 days left of trial, what should I do? Any help is appreciated.

I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

After installing, why is lightroom asking for a serial number, when I am a CC subscriber

after installing, why is lightroom asking for a serial number, when I am a CC subscriber - I am logged in to my CC account

I have the same issue. I downloaded for my 30 day trial. My time was up, I started my CC subscription and I'm still prompted for a serial number.

Lightroom asking for previous serial number only used trial before

I downloaded Lightroom (standalone) from my trial version and now it's asking for a serial number for a previous version of lightroom. I've only ever had trial versions. What should I do ?

You cannot purchase an upgrade version to upgrade the trial version. The first time you purchase Lightroom you have to pay the full price, whatever that might be from the vendor you choose. The trial version is the full version of Lightroom. So you will have to get a refund and then purchase Lightroom, paying the full price.

I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
Regards
Jason

Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.

I am trying to load LR on my new macbook pro. It asks for the serial number. I enter the digits, but it says, quote, " This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is also required."

If you still have the old computer and it is a MAC, the Lightroom 5 serial numbers are in a text file.

I activated my cloud membership and it worked. I just downloaded Lightroom 5.6 upgrade and it asked for a serial number. The same activation number I used before will not work now.

I activated my cloud membership and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. Today, I downloaded Lightroom 5.6 and it asked for a serial number before it would open. Why did the same serial number that worked 2 weeks ago not work now?

Lightroom CC is the only app that asks for my serial number

I just purchased Adobe CC and all programs seem to work, except Lightroom. When I try to open lightroom on my desktop and my laptop computers it asks for my serial number. I've checked the server connectivity and my adobe account info. What do I do?

Hi there,
           Adobe Photoshop Lightroom subscription asks for serial number under two conditions:
           1. When you have just downloaded trial and it's 30 days validity is over Or you have reinstalled the trial on the same system.
            2. When you have downloaded trial version of lightroom and subscribed to paid cloud.
           You will have to uninstall the trial version of lightroom from the sysstem and then login to creative.adobe.com and download the lightroom from there and sign with the adobe id and password, and it will no longer ask for serial number.
Thank you.

Why am I asked for a serial number to open Lightroom after I downloaded 5.7?

Why am I asked for a serial number to register Lightroom 5.7 when I purchased it as Creative Cloud?

There is a non-CC LR and a CC-LR so maybe you installed the non-CC version which will ask for a serial number.
The non-CC version is available on the Adobe Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
The CC version is available as an Install button in the CC Desktop app.
Uninstall the LR 5.7 you have, then log out of the CC Desktop app, reboot, then open the CC Desktop app, and click the Install next to Lightroom.
