Lightroom 5 installation on two PCs

Hi,
Simple question: If I buy a copy of Lightroom 5, can I install it on both my PC & laptop?

Hello,
Thank you for the prompt response - this is exactly what I was hoping for. Main PC being used at home and laptop for when 'out on a shoot'.
Thanks again.

Yes, the Lightroom License agreement is for one user / owner and allows it to be installed on two computers with the provisio that one one is in use at any point in time. It is cross platform PC &/or Mac. You can install/ uninstall as many times you require provided there are only two in existance.

Can someone clarify installation on two pcs?

I have purchased lightroom for a PC.
Now, am I right to assume that anyone can use that software on that PC?
That it is licensed to the PC?
Because at that moment, my wife and I both use the pc as a shared device.
But I would like to place a copy on the wifes laptop, which is her sole use.
But the license information says:
How many computers are covered by a single license of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3?
Subject to the terms of the software license agreement, the primary user of the computer on which Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 is installed may install a second copy of the software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a computer located at his or her home, provided that the software on the second computer is not used at the same time as the software on the primary computer. Lightroom is sold as multiplatform software, which means it can be installed on either Mac OS X or Windows.
Now, the computer lightroom is on, does not have a "primary" user.
It has TWO primary users.
So can I put this on the wifes laptop as well?
Thanks in advance.
Mark :-)

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

We do not want to break the license agreement.
You can't both be 'primary' users - by definition, primary means 'first'. So the first user is the primary user!

Lightroom 5 installation keeps failing

Lightroom 5 installation keeps failing.
Solution mentioned here doesn't work, because my default installation language is English. The installation process stops and shows there's an error but doesn't actually show the error message. The system language on my laptop is Russian.
I had a trial installed previously and now need to activate it with my Creative Cloud membership but it's been about two weeks since I purchased it and it still doesn't work!

Hi,
I’m sorry to hear that! Not sure why it worked for me but not for you. I’d like to check the steps you made just to make sure…
What OS or you using?
I removed Lightroom from Creative Cloud. – So there is no error showing.
I downloaded the: Lightroom_5_LS11_win_5_2 from the link.
Unpacked it to the desktop (any folder will do).
Then I navigated to the folder and installed Lightroom_5_LS11_win_5_2.
Re opened CC and clicked install. It then install the 5.3 update.
If you followed all these steps and still have no luck then A, let me know. And B, you may have to wait for Adobe to fix the issue.
I’ll troll the internet for you too.
There are still more things we can try, so don't give up!
I love Lightroom and feel your pain!
Thanks,
Mike

How to make two PCs (one local, one remote) control the same running vi at the same time?

Hi Labviewers,
I have a vi running, and two PCs are monitoring it, one is local and another one is remote.
I can see the remote front panel at the remote machine by using application property node, but it seems only one of the two PCs has the control of the running VI at the same time.
Is there any way to make the two PCs both have the control of the same vi at the same time? Switching back and forth the control between two PCs is really annoying.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Anne

What exactly are you trying to control?
Perhaps another approach? You could use "Shared Variables" from LV 8.0 and have a copy of the writer VI on each of the control PCs edit the value on the host PC. But as soon as I post, someone is going to talk about multiple writers to shared resources being a bad idea.... so just be careful or you may try to edit a value that has already been changed.

No. Pick one.

 Ps installation on two different boot volumes of same machine?  Ps 11.0.2 Mac PPC  and then...

Hello, I'm new to this forum.
My goal here is to have two different Photoshop 11.0.2 installations on two different boot volumes of one and the same Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad, one being a Tiger 10.4.11 system and the other one a Leopard 10.5.8 system, for the purpose of installing two different modalities of the same Epson Photo Stylus 2200 printer, one with the printer set to use the photo black ink cartridge for luster and glossy papers, and the other one using the matte blank ink.
This is because I prefer to simply change the startup disk when switching inks rather than having to delete and re-add the necessary printers. (This particular printer does not support ink cartridge switching under any version of Mac OS X.)
Photoshop is currently only used on this one machine. Obviously this intended scheme fits well within the EULA conditions.
My three questions are:
(a) whether there is any technical issue I have failed to consider,
(b) whether each copy of Photoshop on the same machine will have to be activated separately (in other words, is the activation tied to the CPU or to the boot volume drive?), and
(c) if the answer to the latter question is yes, whether this will count as one or two activations for purposes of later installing a single instance of the Photoshop 13.x ("CS6") upgrade on an Intel- MacBook, since obviously C6 will not run on my PPC Mac. Again in sum, will I be able to continue to run Photoshop 11.0.2 on two different volumes of the same PPC machine and the Photoshop 13.x upgrade on the laptop?
As further explanation, I would use Photoshop 13.x on the Mac-Intel laptop only in order to run ACR 7.x, but would keep my PPC G5 Quad as my photo editing and printing machine running Photoshop 11.0.2, since an upgrade of my desktop machine to a comparably powerful Mac Pro is simply not an option for both financial and technical reasons (the Classic environment is essential).
Any and all input and guidance will be appreciated.

From my previous visits to other forums as a lurker, I was under the firm impression you were in fact an Adobe employee, Mr. Kazlow. I hope that is still the case and you are only referencing your participation in these user-to-user forums as a volunteer, not as an official representative of the corporation.
Much obliged.

Sync with .mac to update bookmarks on two PCs

I have a mac mini and a mac book. I want to keep my bookmarks updated on both. I used to have the ability to sync the two, but now I can't since I installed 10.4.7. How do I update my bookmarks so that they are all the same on .mac and the two PCs?

You have posted your query in the iSync forum, and are unlikely to receive the attention you issue requires, as iSync has had nothing at all to do with .Mac Sync since the release of Mac OS X 10.4 more than a year ago. You should instead have posted in the .Mac Sync forum, here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
To reset sync history, do this:
• launch the System Preferences application
• select the .Mac pane
• press the Advanced tab
• once your registered computers appear in the list, press the Reset Sync Data… button
• select Bookmarks from the Replace: drop-down menu
• press the right facing arrow so that the orange animated arrow moves from left to right
• press the Replace button
This will move a copy of your Safari bookmarks on that machine to .Mac, and through it, to the other computer in your pool. You may then have to go to the .Mac bookmarks area and either turn on synchronization—or turn it off and turn it back on once again—by first pressing the Open Bookmarks button, and the the switch icon in the page which then appears.

I found anti-phishing on our two PCs with Firefox (now 31) was NOT turned on by default, (I did not turn it off). Discovered this bug after a phishing attack.

Hi
I posted this more as an FYI. I'm using Firefox 31 on two PCs. and had a phishing incident today. I read your article on Firefox's ant-phishing / anti-malware protection, and using the two test pages you provided I found the phishing test page wasn't blocked. I followed your instructions and successfully activated it. For whatever reason on my two PCs (one is Windows 8.1 Update 1 and the other an ancient XP machine) only the anti-malware was running. Both computers were updated to version 31 in the last few days. I don't know if the failure to have anti-phishing turned on by default is a bug in this version, or was a setting copied from an earlier version of Firefox. I had never changed those security settings myself on any version of Firefox.

It's more likely this setting was carried over from an earlier version of Firefox. Some people disable one type of protection in favor of the other. Or disable the malware & phishing protection when troubleshooting other issues. Like to reach sites that Google says are bad but really are false positives.
You may have forgotten fooling with that setting or unchecked it by accident. For example, go back to the Security section in the Options. Move your mouse all the way over to the right underneath the "Exceptions" button and click your mouse along that area for each setting. You see how easily they could be changed by a misclick?
But since you say this happened on 2 computers, I'll ask a few people to test this out and see what happens.
You also said you had a anti-phishing incident? Could you elaborate a little more on that. I'm guessing you were in your email and opened a email you thought to be legitimate?
You'd only have been safe in that case if Google's database had been updated with info to block that exact phishing attack. Did you try revisiting the actual phishing attack after activating the protection? I'm curious to know if it was blocked.

How to transfer files(pdfs/music.etc)between two pcs

how to transfer files(pdfs/music.etc)between two pcs?

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

How do I disactivate Creative Suite 5 on two PCs I no longer have access to?

I have Creative Suite 5 and I use a PC platform. I need to disactivate the licence for two PCs that I no longer use so that I can activate the licence on my new PC (Windows 8.1).
I've tried following the online help system, but it seems to send me round in circles!
Thanks in advance.

I have tried contacting Customer Care, but again the web site seems to take me around in ever decreasing circles and I have yet to achieve sending a message to them. I don't know what an over activated state is - is this like having too much to drink? But seriously I don't actually understand the terminology that you are using Jeff. I have already tried using the activation-deactivation link but can find anything helpful here either. The Chat function seems to be permenantly unavailable here for me in France irrespective of what timezone I try during normal office hours and as I mentioned above I cannot seem to reach the point where I am able to send a message to Customer Care - is there not a normal email address that I can write to or even a telephone number I can ring to try and arrange to be able to make use of the software I have paid for?
I like to think of myself as someone who is pretty IT literate, but I am feeling very frustrated by the seeming impasse in being able to install and activate my software on my new PC.
Any help would be really welcome. Thanks in advance.

Creative Cloud had me update Lightroom. Now have two versions. Neither works. What is Adobe doing?

Creative Cloud had me update Lightroom. Now have two versions. Neither works. What is Adobe doing?

1. I have Creative Cloud and Lightroom v5.7.1.
2. CC offered a new version of LR.
3. I clicked download new version.
4. I now have 2 (two) LR shortcut icons on my desktop monitor screen.
5. The new version doesn't open.
6. The old version opens. Window pops up - LR catalog can't open. Quit other version of LR. Also - preview of image in LR is blank. Says photo missing.
7. Computer specs? Don't know what you want. 32Gb ram, i5, 1Tb
8. LR worked fine before upgrade.
9. Reached Adobe by phone. Started to talk. Line went dead.
10. My phone is working fine.

No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

What causes the message on startup- Firefox can not find the server. Could the server block more than two pcs on line at any one time ??

I have two pcs linked to my Telkom server. I tried to add a third to test it. It sees the server and states excellent connection. But I am unable to get Firefox to open. Every attempt ends with "Firefox cant see the server". I suspect its my server which will only allow max 2 pc at any one time altho I unplugged the one (its on wire to the router) and tried. Still got the same message. Same with Opera when tried.

Lightroom 5 installation stalls

I have Lightroom 4 and PS CS6, and I just purchased CC for photographers. The first thing I tried to do was install LR 5 from the CC app. It got as far as 47%, then stalled. After 90 minutes, I cancelled the installation, rebooted my computer, and tried again. Same result -- it is now stalled at 47% and has been that way for over 2 hours. I have over 200GB of open disk space, so I don't think that's the problem. I'd appreciate any suggestion as to what to do next. Thanks.
Kelly

KellyMC I would recommend reviewing the installation logs for the Lightroom 5 installation. You can find information on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.
