Lightroom 4 full version

I purchased Lightroom 4, full verison, in the box, still factory sealed. However upon install, Adobe tells me the serial number is in use by another owner and is for CS4, not lightroom. Since it is the full retail box, still sealed in cellophane, how can it be wrong? All the documentation says Lightroom 4.
This does not bode well for Adobe quality and customer service.
Any one have any ideas? I am using a Windows 7, 64 bit machine. I had tested the trail version for a while, and then installed it and restarted the computer. I liked the program, so I purchased it online. However, it is now useless to me.
Assistance would be appreciated.

Where did you buy the software from?

Lightroom 5 full version does not install [added: on Vista]

Hi, I have downloaded (3 times!) the full version of LR5. The .exe file I get (same name and size every time) will not run. Double clicking on it generates some hard disk activity for a while and then nothing. I installed and ran the beta version of LR5 with no problem at all but then this was a .zip file not a .exe and Stuffit extracted it perfectly. I am using Vista with latest updates, I am the admin on the computer (yes, i have checked this), I have rebooted, I have uninstalled the beta version, but still no useful action from the .exe Very frustrating as the beta has expired and I have paid for the full version but am "dead in the water". This is the first significant install issue I have ever had on this PC - which isn't great from a brand like Adobe. Can anyone offer any suggestions. I did note a previous similar question on LR4 but I have already tried the suggested answer (reboot, log on as admin and so on...).

I am using Vista with latest updates,
Are you aware that although the LR5 Beta ran on Vista, the LR5 final version does not?
This has caught some beta testers out. A classic example of caveat emptor.

LR5 (final shipping version) requires Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.

Link to download Lightroom 3 full version?

I have an old Mac laptop, OSX 10.5.8. I recently downloaded the trial version of LR3, since it was the most recent one to be compatible on my machine.
I cannot find a link anywhere to buy the full version.
Please help? Thanks!!!

Adobe does not sell software that is not the current version. Your best bet is to buy it from an independent seller, e.g. on Amazon.com

I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
Quit the CC Desktop application,
Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer. What exactly is OEM. Is it a full version? Can I transfer files between different computers?

@

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

Lightroom: upgrade from trial to full version, how to enter license key?

I installed Lightroom from Creative Cloud (CC) trial on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. The version is LR 5.6. I do not want CC, so I purchased the full version of LR on DVD. I was going to reinstall LR from the DVD, but see that it is only version 5.2. I have already done a fair amount of work with the trial LR 5.6 and am worried about losing the catalog that I have created.
So I thought I could apply the full version license key to the trial install, but there is no place to do that within LR. When I bring up the CC master application it shows that I have 5 days left with LR, but still has no way to apply a license key.
I had a very long and frustrating chat session with tech support. In the end I was advised to uninstall the trial, then install the full version. I might be able to download LR 5.6 full and simply install that.
So let me summarize my questions:
Is there any way to apply the license key for standalone full version of LR to the trial version that was installed using CC?
If I uninstall trial version, will I be able to install LR 5.6 download and apply license key?
If I cannot install from download and instead have to install from purchased DVD, will version 5.2 be able to import the existing catalog? Will subsequent upgrade(s) to 5.6 go smoothly?
What about the catalog? Will the existing catalog simply be found during a new installation? Or do I have to manually import?
I've found the community help in the LR forum to be very good - and that is why I am abandoning ACDSee after many years Thank you all for your help.

You should just uninstall what you have installed for LR 5.x, now, then download and install the LR 5.6 update from the Adobe Updates page, and enter your standalone serial number, and things should pick up where you left off.
You might want to go into LR’s preferences (if LR is still opening for you) and see where the catalog (.lrcat) file actually resides on your computer in case you have a problem and have to double-click on that .lrcat file to open your catalog, but my experience is that nothing will seem different after you’ve installed the new version other than the version number will be newer. The preferences, catalog, and pictures are somewhere different than where the program is installed so uninstalling and reinstalling shouldn’t affect any of it.
LR 5.6 update is here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
FYI, the CC-LR is licensed by logging into CC, the standalone version is licensed by entering a serial number. That is why you have to uninstall the CC_licensed version and install the non-CC-licensed version.
It also probably wouldn’t mess anything up to install LR 5.2 from the DVD, but then you’d have to turn around and immediately download the LR 5.6 update, anyway, and it would waste time, so why not start with the latest update. The update is a fully function program, not a patch to an existing program. It’ll either find your existing licensing information if you’ve already entered the serial number or ask for a serial number if it doesn’t find anything—which sounds like your situation.

How do I get from the test version of Lightroom to the full version when I bought the product a while ago for my macbook pro?

I had to replace my solid state drive in my macbook pro. Since it was full of a strange virus nobody could identify, I only saved the files I needed and no programs. Now I tried to get the full version of Lightroom 5 again but it would not accept my serial number. What can I do?

Download LR 5 from here: Product updates

Do I need to buy the full version of lightroom 4 after using the trial

I am not sure if I purchase the full version or the upgrade

If you have owned a previous qualifying version then you would purchase the upgrade. If this is your first purchase of Lightroom then you would want to purchase the full version.

Trial to full version problem on lightroom mobile

I used a trial version of lightroom and lightroom mobile. within a few days of the trial expiring I used a credit card and bought a serial key from adobe.com to upgrade from trial to full version. but for some reason lightroom mobile on my iPads says my trial has now expired and i need to sign in with an id that has a paid version. i have already done that! how do i solve this problem? i can't use lightroom mobile yet i have full version on my desktop. please help.

In order to use Lightroom Mobile you must have a creative cloud subscription. Lightroom Mobile worked for 30 days because you are given a trial period. But beyond that trial, Lightroom Mobile cannot be used unless you subscribe to a creative cloud package. The most common one, I believe, is the one that includes Photoshop/Bridge, Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile for $9.99/month.

Hi! I had purchased Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Full - English - Multiple Platforms - Download. Had received a serial number to activate my license. I am nott able to update this to the latest version. Tried entering the license key which I had received for LR5. does not work with LR6

Your serial number is for version 5 and not for Lightroom 6. If will install LR 6 you have to buy a update and the you get a new serial number.

2 issues - Invalid Serial Number issue & Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question

Hello
not sure if I should split these two questions...
1 - Invalid Serial Number issue
I'm helping out a friend with their large photo collection and they bought Lightroom 5 and received the serial number but when we add this to Lightroom it states that it's invalid - I tried leaving it until the following week (I visit them weekly) and it still refusing the number - when I went into their Adobe account and took a look at downloads the option to download the full version is greyed out (or an x - I'm not sat on their computer right now so can't double check) but it wouldn't allow me to do anything so we just had the trial version.
anyone know what the issue is - shall I get them to contact Adobe to get them to take a look - I also had issues trying to find a customer support email address lol. (I seem to faffing with lots of websites/software/companies this week so getting a little frazzled!)
2 - Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question
This question is linked to the above i- I am wondering if the folders in Lightroom are different in the trial version vs the fully paid version.
I had set up some greeting card templates and contact sheet layouts for my friend and tried to transfer them to her computer but whilst, LR 'sees' the folders it just doesn't acknowledge the templates - I tried it several ways but I've not had that issue before so will that sort itself when I get the serial number fixed?
Thank you for any help or suggestions - hope you all have a good weekend :-)
Lenny

Hi Lenny, the two questions may be related but the trial is actually the same as the full version. I would suggest getting the serial number issue sorted out first. There have been known issues where a paid for product still shows up as a trial.There is not a lot the community can do. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
2. Serial number issues or activating my product
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

I wonder if the proposed limited package of 12 euro per month (if submission for a whole year) includes the full version of photoshop and lightroom or is it limited in use ? for exemple maximum of ... hours per month of GB per month etc...?

Hi DJL-photo ,

How ever if you want to store any files etc , then we have 20 GB space for storage like in Creative Cloud
Let us know if that helps !

Cannot download full versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

Hi, I purchased a plan for photographers as a part of Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition and cannot download Photoshop or Lightroom in a different way than as trials. You, Adobe, have my money already and everything else seems to be ok. How can I download the full versions??? This is really disappointing

lr and pse are both cross-platform apps so you can use both pc and mac versions with those programs.
for most adobe apps though, How to Move Adobe CC or CS6 Between Computers, or PC to Mac | ProDesignTools
