Lightroom 5 download on two computers

I purchased lightroom 5 on one computer but I want to download it on my other computer, too.  How do I do that?  Do I have to re-purchase?

Hi Mina Ela,
There is no need to purchase Lightroom again you can use the same license on 2 machines.
Thanks

  • How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

    I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
    I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
    Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using  a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
    as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

    Hi Geoffbubbles,
    if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
    Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
    What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
    Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
    When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
    You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
    These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
    When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
    As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
    Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
    1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
    therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
    if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
    if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
    On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
    In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
    When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
    Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.

  • I download to two computers but cannot seem to add movies from both.  Please help.

    I sometimes download from the itunes store to my laptop, and other times to my desktop.  When I try to upload a movie from my laptop, I get the message that the movies I downloaded from my desktop will be deleted.  I have selected manage manually.  I have shared my computer.  I have selected family sharing.  I have tried to connect to the library on my laptop.  What will work?  The only solution is to download onto my desktop and always copy from there.  That is not what I want to do.

    Click here and pick the option which best fits your situation.

  • Can I use the cloud on two computers in different states?

    I know that with one membership I can download onto two computers but I work from home in Georgia, while my office is in Pennsylvania.   Will I cause any red flags if I one download is on my home computer in Georgia and my other download is on my work computer in Pennsylvania?

    Thank!  That's what I thought, but I just wanted to verify.

  • ITunes on two computers, how to interact

    How do import songs from one mac to the other with iTunes.
    I can't find a way to solve this.
    Both iTunes contains about 4000 songs. It's a **** of a job adding a song to the library looking in the finderlist for a particular song.
    I download on two computers and I like the two iTunes libraries identical. So anyone with a quick and smooth fix.

    My cd player isn't working on my mac so i downloaded a version off adobe and was trying to use my serial number. When I purchased the cd version my laptop didn't have a cd drive so adobe told me to dowmloaded and put in the serial number. ofcourse this was done over the phone which I can't get help with anymore. So don't remeber if she gave me a didferent one or maybe I didn't register it. But it says it's invalid.
    This is getting murky. If you have the original CD then is the serial number on it or on it's packaging? Are you saying an Adobe rep gave you a second serial number? And that one is not working? My guess is that the Adobe rep gave your something other than a serial number (which is why it's not working) and expected you to enter the one you already had from your CD or packaging.

  • Lightroom for two computers

    Hi there,
    I have lightroom on my macbook, and now bought an imac. I'd love to install lightroom on there as well. I read that it's possible to install lightroom on two computers/laptops.. but how do I go about it? I downloaded the test version, and tried to enter the license key I used for my macbook version, but this doesn't work...
    Thanks a lot for your help
    Cheers

    Du fragst im deutschen Forum, deshalb kriegst Du die Antwort auf deutsch.
    Du kannst eine vorhandene Lizenz auf zwei Geräten gleichzeitig nutzen, aber nur einmal zur gleichen Zeit ausführen.
    Du musst das zweite Gerät mit der selben Lizenz bestücken, wie das erste Gerät. Deshalb ist es das beste, den selben Installer zu verwenden und dann bei Geräte auf den letzten Stand updaten.
    Da es unterschiedliche Lizenzmodelle für Lightroom gibt, und Du nicht geschrieben hast welches, können wir Dir nur beschränkt helfen. Wenn Du ein Einzellizenzmodell hast, dann musst Du diesen Installer nehmen, hast Du die Cloud, musst Du Dich bei der Cloud anmelden und darüber installieren, hast Du die Box, musst Du die gelieferte CD verwenden und darüber installieren.
    Wichtig ist auch, dass die beiden Installationen die selbe Version haben müssen, damit die SN funkt.

  • Technical question:  Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

    Technical question:
    Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
    Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
    I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
    I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

    I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers.  I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
    Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

  • My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my com

    My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

    Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
    If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
    Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
    As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)
