Lightroom 5 serial # Problem

I was directed to forums by Adobe tech support??? I bought a student copy of Lightroom 5 a year ago and then realized it wouldn't work on my laptop. I now have a desktop and am trying to install on the desktop that is running a later version of OS compatible with Lightroom 5. The serial number I got a year ago will not load into the registration prompt and I can not get past the serial number page. Feeling supreemly frustrated...

Hi there,
             Please check if the serial number is valid or not because some times educational version serial number comes for a specific period of time after that it gets expired.
             You can check this with Adobe customer service at [ https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html   ] and they will let you know if it's valid or expired.
             Also are you downloading Lightroom 5 or Lightroom with CC, this may cause the issue too.
             Lightroom 5 trial download link [ https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom ], you can doiwnload this and enter the serial number.
             The issue may also depend on the exact error message that you are facing ,I would suggest you contact Adobe customer support for better assistance.
Thank you.

What do I do if I don't receive my Lightroom serial number by Email?

I registered my Adobe Lightroom as a student, and still have not recieved my serial number. Therefore I am unable to log into Lightroom. Does it take a couple of days for the Email with the serial number to be sent to my email? I have checked my spam folder, and my filter settings; That is what the Adbe website instructed if their were problems recieving any emails. Thanks.

Sam,
I get my (regular) Lightroom serial numbers pretty quickly, less than an hour.
I'm guessing that for a student edition, someone may have to check your bona fides. Have you considered calling an Adobe support line?
Lighroom will run for a month on a trial basis without a serial number. Has your month expired?

When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial. Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial. Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

Lets clear a couple of things up first.
1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files. If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Deactivate Lightroom serial?

How can I deactivate my lightroom serial so that others may use it?
Or is it not necessary?

I just went through this as a purchaser. I picked up a legitimate boxed copy for $125. Adobe has a License Transfer Form that the seller and buyer fill out and fax in to Adobe. The seller has to call Adobe customer service and get a case number, then both the buyer and seller have to complete their parts of the form. The transfer takes 4-5 weeks, but in the meantime the purchaser can still install the program and complete the registration information and use the program. They just can't get support from Adobe until they are the licensed owner of record with Adobe.

Fehlermeldung "Beim Lesen dieses Fotos ist in Lightroom ein Problem aufgetreten".

Nach dem Löschen meines Kataloges erhalte ich beim Neuaufbau bei einigen Bilderordnern die Fehlermeldung "Beim Lesen dieses Fotos ist in Lightroom ein Problem aufgetreten - Sie können keine Änderungen am Foto vornehmen". In der Rasteransicht haben die Bilder rechts oben ein Ausrufezeichen. Ich habe nirgendwo eine Erklärung für diese Fehlermeldung gefunden. Der Katalog und die Bilder befinden sich auf der lokalen Festplatte D:, die verwendeten Kameras sind beide unterstützt, Ich verwende Windows 8.1 und LR 5.7. Das einzige Plug-In (DxO optics wurde deinstalliert. Deinstallation und Neuinstallation von LR über die Windows Systemsteuerung bringt keine Verbesserung. Der Versuch, die Bilder mit Fehlermeldung in PSE13 zu öffnen bringt die gleiche Fehlermeldung. In DxO lassen sich die NEFs einwandfrei öffnen. Was will mir diese Fehlermeldung sagen?

Hallo Matthias,
würde mich natürlich freuen, wenn - Deine Kernfrage war ja die Sache mit dem AAM - endlich wieder alles gut läuft. Also, hast Du das getestet?
Was "... weit jenseits meiner Kompetenz ..." betrifft kannst Du Dich ruhig noch 'mal melden. Hier gibt's genügend cracks, die Dir weiterhelfen werden.

Lightroom serial number doesn't work on new MAC. How can I fix this?

I loaded the student edition of Lightroom 5 on my PC, and am trying to convert everything to a MAC. Do I need to remove the Lightroom software from my PC to load Lightroom 5 to my MAC? I have the student teacher edition software.

no, you don't need to remove lr from your pc. you are allowed up to two concurrent installations of adobe software.
make sure you're using the mac serial number and check this to solve common problems, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
and if that doesn't help, contact adobe support by clicking 'still need help' as soon as available, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Lightroom Serial Number not Valid

A while ago I downloaded Lightroom and was using it with no problem. Accidentally, I uninstalled the program from my mac. Now, when I try to reinstall it, I get a red "X" whenever I enter my serial number. Because of this, I'm not able to proceed with installation. I've contacted the chat support, and received a new dowload link, but I'm still confronted with the same issue. How can I use Lightroom again? Can I receive a new serial number?

make sure you're using the correct number for the correct product, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite

Lightroom Serial Number in Creative Cloud

I have been using Lightroom everyday with no problem then today it has started up as if it is loading for the first time & asking for a serial number. I am using the Creative Cloud for Photographers & I don't seem to have a serial number. can anyone help?

There is no serial number for any Cloud apps. They are activated via your Adobe ID.
Close PS and Lightroom.
In the Cloud desktop app, try signing out of your Adobe account then signing back in. See if it makes any difference to Lightroom being recognized as licensed under your Adobe ID.

Lost lightroom serial, not in my products?

Good day all,
I have a copy of lightroom 4 and 5 for my mac, it was working fine. I formatted my mac the other day due to upgrading my HD and tried to reinstall lightroom 5, this is where problems started.
I don't have the email confirmation for lightroom 5 with the serial number, fine i thought.. ill goto my adobe profile to get it.
But my licence is not there? in the my-products section?
I DO have my product email serial number for my lightroom 4 copy, however, that serial number is also NOT in the my-products section? So what can i do?
I need my lightroom 5 licence but it's not on my email or on the my-products section?

Sorry to say but there is no way to retrieve your serial number if it isn't under your products in your Adobe account.
That is why you have to make back ups of the serial number, Print it out, make backups of the email it came in, make backups of your computer.
About the only option now is to re-purchase LR 5 to get a new serial number.

Photoshop LightRoom Serial Number Issue

I bought Adobe Photoshop Lightroom a couple weeks ago from Best Buy in box format (with a serial number insert). I tried installing it on my computer and registering and using the serial number and all that, but it says that the serial number is no good, and I've checked it at least 5-10 times, and I typed it correctly every time. What do I need to do and is there a way that I could get a replacement serial number at all?? I need Lightroom to work ASAP so that I can finish a customers project that is soon to be DUE.

LIghtRoom color problem vs PhotoShop CS2 on Nikon RAW

I recently bought Adobe Lightroom and I was surprised to notice some huge color differences compared to PhotoShop CS2.
Im using Nikon D80 and shooting RAW. I have calibrated semi-pro monitor.
The same RAW file opens in LightRoom pretty well until you get the rendering preview. Once the preview is done, the picture becomes desaturated in red and blue and has a green cast especially in the shadows with much lower contrast. If I use Edit in PhotoShop option, the picture becomes even worse (even more desaturated and greenish) when opens in PhotoShop. If I open the same RAW in PhotoShop directly (using the NEF plug-in, not CameraRaw!) everything is just fine. The picture looks as opened in Nikon Picture Project or as I saw it when I took the picture.
After doing some research, I think that my problem relates to the way that Adobe Camera RAW, Bridge and LightRoom open a Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001 (D80) raw file. However, all the things being equal, PhotoShop CS2 (using the NEF plug-in) renders the same colors as Picture Project does (and what I saw on my camera and in reality). I also noticed that choosing sRGB in Camera Raw bring the things closer to the Picture Project colors but far from identical. Anyways, there is no way to change anything in LightRoom, outer than manually twicking all colors until I think it looks good. Which, I think Is very subjective and is different for every picture.
Right now, my Creative Suite Color Settings is North America General Purpose 2 (synchronized for all CS applications) and no application asks me anything about changing the color profile when opening the file. I shoot (with D80) in raw, Normal camera mode (no saturation / contrast, color profile change). I opened the same file in all mentionned applications (LightRoom, CameraRaw from Bridge, PhotoShop and Picture Project) and save them as .jpeg (same size, dpi, etc.) without changing anything (no camera calibration in ACR or LR; no printer profile in PhotoShop). I sent the .jpegs to my local Costco and printed them on glossy paper. All of them printed the same way that they look on the screen. LR, ACR - desaturated on red&blue, color cast on green and low contrast, while great vivid colors and contrast from PhotoShop and Picture Project. For me it looks pretty much as Adobe applications convert Nikon sRGB into a very unappealing Adobe sRGB (and way different from what I saw in reality). I know this is very subjective; some people may argue that Nikon profile is too reddish and oversaturated. But I find the whole story rather unusual. They all work in the sRGB space and there shouldn't be any differences. I've done lot of testing with color profiles and replacing the Camera Raw plugin file format (common files) with Nicon plugins and vice-versa. But still the same result.
I create a User Profile in LightRoom and I get pretty decent colors now, but when I want to edit the file in PhotoShop (from LightRoom) I get the same green and desaturated version.
What do you think?

>Regarding LR, what I'm looking here is a "factory made" solution; something that can give consistent results in the initial conversion (like Nikon plugin for PhotoShop, for e.g.)
The problem with that conversion is that you cannot change it. In lightroom you change the actual conversion parameters, which gives you far more leeway and allows for far better conversions in the end. Currently (this will change with Lightroom 2.0 apparently) the only recourse you have if you prefer Nikon's colors is to shoot jpeg, or run your NEFs through capture and create 16-bit tiffs. This is just the way it is. A hammer gives a different result than a screwdriver.
>It's hard for me to believe that Adobe has invested so much energy and resources in color profiling but it's unable to get nearly close to the Nikon raw colors.
Nikon's colors are far from colorimetrically correct which you can see in many tests. Here is an example for the D300: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D300/D300IMATEST.HTM It is off in the deep reds, the saturated blues, and the Olive-like colors. Profiling the camera does not help you get close to Nikon's colors, but it will get you closer to the ideal colors. I doubt it has been Adobe's goal to get close to the in-camera rendering with Lightroom upto 1.4. They profile all the cameras and make some value judgments on what is more important. Skin tones vs saturated colors etc just like Nikon does.
Regarding getting close to camera colors, there is a trick that you can do to get close to the camera jpeg that involves the ACR calibration scripts. You do need PS CS3 though.
>I find rather strange that apparently there is no way to get professional conversion. This is defying the main purpose of Color Profiling, I think.
Why is Nikon's conversion professional and Adobe's not? They are both just interpretations of the sensor data. Adobe's is actually colorimetrically more correct in many cases. Colorimetrically correct often means boring unfortunately. This has to do with the fact that our eyes are not color measurement devices but that we have brains interpreting the data. To get pleasing results, Color Profiling does not help as much as you'd like. My issue with the in-camera or Nikon software approach is that it locks you down creatively to the
creative choices the Nikon folks made. Now, be aware that in the Lightroom 2.0 forum the Adobe folks have hinted at major changes to the rendering engine that will bring colors closer to the vendor rendering. How they will do this is unknown right now.

Lightroom installing problem

I have problems installin Lightroom from Creative Cloud, some help please, I'm using a Mac....

It would help if you describe your problem more. Do you not see it available in Creative Cloud for download? Do you try to download and get some kind of error message? What message?
And what version of OS X are you running.

Lightroom 5-problems with print colors

I have Lightroom 5 and am having problems with my prints. They look great in LR, but when I upload them to different websites for prints skin tones have a grayish-green cast to them and print with the grayish-green cast. I can pull them up in other applications, i.e. Windows photo gallery and Facebook and they look fine. I checked my preferences and they are set to sRGB. Any other ideas? For example I made an invitation for a friend, the pictures I processed in LR and then used Photoshop CS4 to make the invitation. The invitation colors printed great. She liked the pictures I had taken and asked to have those too. When she printed the actual pictures they had a grayish-green tint to them but the invitation looked fine even though it was made from the same pictures that came out grayish-green. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have recalibrated my screen and the pictures still look the same. I looked in my LR and made sure that sRGB is selected for the color space for external editing. Is there a way to check if the pictures exported with the prophotoRGB instead of sRGB? I tried looking in properties on the photo and didn't see anywhere where it would tell me whether it was sRGB or prophotoRGB. I am kinda new to all of this so maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but I was under the details tab in properties on the photo.
The recalibration was just a "also nice to make sure you have done this". Just to check if you don't have another rare problem. The root cause of your problem is clearly that your exports are not sRGB. You set that in the export screen as Per nicely shows. You should keep the color space for external editing that you set in preferences at prophotoRGB. That one has nothing to do with your exports and you're usually better off using the default.
You can check your exported images using several options. On Macs, you simply open it in preview and do a get info (command-I) on it or use Photoshop. You can also see the color profile in the "more info" tab in the "get info" panel in Finder. In the general pane you will see the profile name. On a windows machine it is somewhat more difficult for me to tell you as I have none anywhere near but if you have Photoshop, you can open your jpeg in that and at the bottom of the window click the little sideways triangle that points to the right and select "Document Profile".
