Lightroom 4 purchased through Apple App store does NOT have a serial number - cannot upgrade to lightroom 6

I am trying to upgrade from Lightroom 4.4 to Lightroom 6 on a Mac running OS X (Lion). I have purchased Lightroom 6 as an upgrade (as I am running Lightroom 4). The Lightroom 6 installer continues to indicate that it cannot find a "qualifying product" and asks for a declaration of the Lightroom product installed and its serial number. I am currently running Lightroom 4 purchased through the Apple App Store in 2013; according to all the information I can glean regarding this product... it does not have a serial number (if it was purchased through the Apple App Store). Does anyone have an idea on how to supply a valid serial number for the Lightroom 6 installer?
iMac running OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Lightroom 4.4 (purchased in 2013 through Apple App Store)
Adobe Lightroom 6 (purchased online as an upgrade from Adobe Lightroom 4.X)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

As I said in the post, a serial number was not necessary to install it; the Apple downloadable version doesn't seem to be serialized. I have not uninstalled Lightroom 4; it is still running, but apparently in its present form it doesn't provide a serial number for the Lightroom 6 upgrade to use.

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

LR purchase through Apple App Store, No available Upgrade to 4.2.

Yeah, after downloading the update from the adobe site 3 to 4 times.
I realized that I puchased LR through the APP store which doesn't allow for updates from the adobe website only the apple app store.
I will never purchase a third party app from the app store again.
apple and adobe should send out update at the same time.
Not let their customers wait...
Just like i've been waiting to tether my 5D Mark III.
I guess I"ll just have to wait some more.
Shame on Adobe and apple for the poor comunication...

I would go back to apple. Go tothe same one and try to get the same guy who helped you last time. They will understand that this is the second time and know what happened last time.

Apple online store does not have idea even they charged my card.

Hi ,
I tried to make a purchase from apple online store , it was 11/15 morning around 9:30 am ... eastern time.
I tried to buy an IPHONE 5S GSM 16GB TMOBILE SILVER by splitting charge in to two different cards .
Well , the transaction did not go thru , everything was normal ; till I saw the charge in my wells fargo account for 174.43 USD and called the bank , learned that the amount debitted from my account was a charge "not an authorization". Bank told me to call Apple and connect them to merchant services of Wells Fargo so I called APPLE ONLINE STORE at 11/15 around 16:15 and spoke with online agent JOSH and made a conference call with WELLS FARGO MERCHANT SERVICES ...
Wells Fargo confirmed to JOSH that it was a charge even JOSH could not be able to find & match the charge with related credit card number. Only thing JOSH advised me was to wait till tomorrow morning ...He told " It should dissappear from my account "... On the other hand wells fargo told I can claim a dispute but the it will take 10 business days for me to get reimbursed. So who is responsible for the $174.43 vaporized from my account by APPLE and they do not know about that ?
NOW I'D LIKE TO ASK A BASIC QUESTION TO ALL YOU HIGH IQ LEVEL GENIUS PEOPLE OF APPLE INC. ; HOW COME YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT YOU CHARGE A PERSONS CREDIT CARD ?
Awaiting your kind reply ,

Well, it seems to me that you were told that a credit would be issued and to wait until tomorrow. I'd suggest you do that, though I'd recommend waiting until perhaps Monday, or at least Sunday, since it may take a day for your credit card company to process the credit.
If by Monday you haven't seen the credit arrive in your account and your credit card company confirms that they haven't received it, call Apple Support, ask to speak with someone in Customer Relations, and calmly explain the situation to them and ask for assistance in getting a quick resolution.
Regards.

We had our MAC book Pro stolen and we registered it with Apple. Is there any way to recover the serial number for police reports if the receipt does not have the serial number on it? Thx

We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes. Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere? Any details would be helpful. Thank you!

You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:

App store does not have irctc application ?

I was looking for IRCTC application (used for booking rail tickets for Indian Railways) for iOS and couldn't find it. I was using it on my HTC One X (android) earlier and its been a pretty handy and useful applicaiton to have. Its a free app in Android Market and would like it to be available for iOS as well. Here is the android market link --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hobby.night.irctc&hl=en
Can this be made available for iOS as well in near future ?

You are NOT talking to Apple here. We are all fellow Users like yourself who offer to help each other. You would have to contact Apple to ask that. We don't know the answer to that obviously.

How can I install Mountain Lion in a VMware fusion, if it came with my macbook pro, and not purchased through the app store?

I have Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro with Retina but I want to install Mountain Lion in a VM for application testing. I try to install it from the recovery partition but it states that when I put in my apple ID, it states that it was not purchased through the App Store. My OS came with my Macbook. Is there anything that I can do to get it to install in a VM?
Thanks

Mac app store does not accept my apple password

The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

Hi furiales,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issues you are describing. If you are having issues connecting to the iTunes Store or App Store, you may find the following article helpful:

Also mail not loading. The error report suggests that I look for updates from the app store?
