Lightroom 5 closes immediately after entering serial number

I purchased a serial number for lightroom 5 after the trial version ended.  I get a green checkmark when I enter the serial number, but when i click finish it immediately closes.
How do I get Lightroom to open?

Pete,
OS is Lion. As with the others, I had a trial version that had expired. I spent a couple of hours going through forums, looking at host files, rebooting, and rebooting, etc, with no result. The version I was using had only just expired a week or so ago. The one frustrating factor was that even though I had installed LR, there was no app to uninstall for the Adobe app manager. What finally DID resolve the issue a couple of hours ago was to download a new apparently updated version and ran install once again. I had been using the original downloaded source file for the trial install as my source for the multiple re-installs I performed. I had been ignoring the new file since the file name appeared the same as the original, but there was apparently an update since then.
Regards,
Jim

  • Freehand MX Shuts Down After entering serial number

    I have located the page on the Adobe site with all the serial numbers for unsupported Macromedia apps. When enter the number for Freehand MX, after following the instructions, Freehand immediately shuts down. When I try to reattempt this, there is an existing serial number in the fields and it starts with WPD700. I see no suggested serial numbers on the Adobe page starting with WPD....could I have a student version? Does that matter? Thanks!

    I used this link to get the serial numbers...

  • FB4 not opening after entering Serial Number

    I made a fresh XP installation on an empty and formated partition today.
    SP3 and all MS updates installed.
    System, audio, video etc. drivers are installed,
    then Firefox, Safari, Crome and WAMP,
    that's it, nothing more.
    I installed FB4 beta and it ran fine!
    Test projects behaved as expected etc.
    I closed FB4 a few times and opened again . . . everything great.
    I restarted the machine and all was still fine.
    Until now I always had the "Trial / Serial Number Dialog" pop up and chose the trial.
    Then I entered the serial number I received from Adobe and FB4 Beta stoped loading . . .
    just the Flash Screen . . . "Loading Project" progress and  . . . exit, no FB4!
    Adobe Team, please help

    Kaushik Mukherjee provided a workaround in his reply here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2181579#2181579
    So  . . . I uninstalled Flash Builder,
    installed the Eclipse Plugin Version using bundeled Eclipse.
    Installed Flash Builder 4 Beta.
    Only after creating one new Flex Project in Eclipse, the Flash Builder started up again using the serial number I entered before.
    Not a very elegant workaround, but it fixes the problem.
    I filed a bug report, but the Adobe Bug System indicated that I created a bug that I have no permission to watch so I cannot enter the found workaround.

  • Lightroom doesn't start after entering serial number (PC)

    Hi,
    I've recently upgraded to Lightroom 2 then downloaded 2.4. All went well on my then PC.
    I then got a new computer a while ago and reinstalled Lightroom. Oddly, it asked me for serial numbers every time I started but worked fine.
    Today when I entered the serial numbers (upgrade and original from 1.0), nothing happens. The dialog box closes but Lr doesn't start.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Andreas

    Ah, I should have mentioned that I tried deleting the prefs file as I'd looked at the support database first.
    It doesn't make a difference, unfortunately.
    Could there be another one than the one in Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences?
    Any other ideas?

  • Photoshop closes immediately after starting up. Lightroom and Bridge works fine

    Photoshop closes immediately after starting up. Lightroom and Bridge works fine

    Is there some reason for not mentioning the version, the OS, …?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

    after installing photoshop cs3 on windows 7 when I start photoshop it will not load so I can enter serial number. why?

    iOS devices cannnot be tracked or located with just the serial number. Unless you shared your Apple ID and password with anyone, then your account cannot be accessed at the iTunes Store.

  • Entering serial Number on Expired LR4 Trail Version

    My trial LR4 has expired.  I have a serial number.   When I start LR I get a screen that says my trial has expired and LR will now quit.   My only option is to press OK, and the program quits.  
    I have read other responses, telling me to use the HELP menu, but this kicks me into my browser, and onto the adobe help site.
    another suggestion was to click on a link inside the pop up window, but there is none on my computer MAC OS 10.6.8

    I tried that.   Deleted lightroom files, preferences for adobe and Some other adobe files as well.
    After redownloading, and installing, I get the same screen telling me that LR is going to quit
    Thanks for the advice

    I don’t really know if it’ll work, but you could try uninstalling and re-installing the trial and maybe the first time through the installer, it’ll ask for the serial number?

  • How to enter serial number for sale order line  which is in shipped status

    Hi All,
    We have 2 different items which are defined as Serialized at Sale order issue at item definition.
    In one sale order,User has forgot to add serial number to one of the item at Ship confirm stage.
    He has entered serial number correctly to other item.
    Now the both Sale order lines are in Shipped status if we view them through Shipping>transactions.
    I am technical guy and new to OM.Could you please let me know the process to enter the serial number for the item to which user has missed it
    Thanks,
    Satya

    Hi Satya,
    Since the item is already shipped, you cannot enter serial number for this line.
    you have to enter serial numbers after pick confirm only.
    check this note
    How to Enter Serial Numbers in the Shipping Transactions Form [ID 1235403.1]
    As a workaround for the previous lines do RMA and try to receive the goods back to your subinventory.
    For all new transactions follow the above notes.
    Thanks

  • Have to enter serial number very time I launch acrobat distiller

    Hi all,
    after using the program for a couple of years successfully, for some reason I now have to enter serial my number very time I launch acrobat distiller?, after entering the number it works fine,
    do I have a corrupted file somewhere, anyone come across this before?
    cheers, Rob
    OSX 10.3.9 panther

    Photo Mechanic does this as well. You have to first activate it by being logged into the admin account then when you log into the non-admin account it works fine.
    If you still are having issues I would call Adobe support. Installation support is 206-675-6500. Standard Technical support is 800-642-3623.

  • Elements 12 will not allow me to enter serial number on installation

    elements 12 will not allow me to enter serial number on installation

    Hello,
    did you purchase your product from these firms like Amazon? If yes, this is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
    The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.

  • Lightroom for CC asks for serial number

    I've purchased Lightroom separately for years. Even after buy into Creative Cloud, I maintained a separate Lightroom account/serial number. We use both Macs and PCs in my studio, but I prefer using Lightroom on my PC desktop and my notebook. For a project that just came up, I needed additional collaboration and downloaded and installed Lightroom from the Creative Cloud App on the Mac. Lightroom IS ASKING FOR A SERIAL NUMBER even though it is a separate install, one that should be tied to Creative Cloud, NOT my standalone product.
    Can anyone give me correct information to resolve this? I find Adobe, for such a large corporation, to have THE WORST tech support of ANY company I have dealt with. Microsoft and Apple put Adobe to shame. There seems to be no way I can contact anyone to resolve this, so i hope to find the answer on the forum.
    Thanks.

  • SkillBuilders Modal Page... closes immediately after loading

    I would like to use the Modal Page plug-in from http://www.skillbuilders.com .*
    I installed the two sample applications from their web site with different results:
    The employee example works fine.
    The example with the modal feedback worked fine yesterday, but today it shrinks (after loading normally) so that I can't see anything but the bar with the window name and the close button.
    In my own application it's even worse:
    I have links in a table which should open a modal window on click.
    I tried several settings, but the only thing that's happening is that the window closes immediately after loading and showing the page for a half a second (or not at all).
    Leaving the "Auto-close On Element Selector" empty did not work. The default value "div#success-message" kept coming back until I replaced it with "null". But still no effect.
    Does anyone have any idea what could cause this behaviour?
    Best regards,
    Sabine
    The Security Settings for all three applications:
    Cache: Enabled
    Embed in Frames: Allow

    In the meantime I had the problem that the window didn't close at all, but I think I figured it out.
    So if the Modal Plug In does not work properly, check the following:
    <li>Does every process that should close the window have a 'Success Message' defined?
    <li>In the unconditional branch, is "include process success message" checked?
    <li>In the dynamic action, is "Auto-close On Element Selector" set to "div.t1success" in the true action?
    BTW: The "shrinking problem" described in the first post still exists - in IE. In Firefox, it works fine.
    Best regards,
    Sabine

  • Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?

    Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?  Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

    Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
    Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?
