Lightroom 5 upgrade by downloading.

I upgraded my Lightroom 4 to lightroom 5 , but by a mistake i used the serial number from my lightroom 3 upgrade disc, so now i have Lightroom 5 without the Lightroom 4 futures and i miss all my work from lightroom 4.
Is it possible to re-upgrade.

The Lightroom 5 installation does not change your previous installations in any way.  If you had Lightroom 4 on your computer, all you have to do is (from the Lightroom 5 menu) choose File/Open Catalog and then browse to your Lightroom 4 catalog and choose it.  Lightroom 5 will inform you that it needs to be updated and when you choose to do so it could take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours to complete.  It depends on the size of your catalog.
And, just to clarify, the only thing Lightroom 5 needs from your previous version is the serial number.  It does not depend on the previous version for any other files.  It will read and adopt your preferences, but that is all.  So if the program indicates that you are using Lightroom 5 there is no need for you to try to update again.  You have the program.

    Yes, I have a TLP license, so which kind of upgrade should I buy?

  • Lightroom 5 upgrade download error

    I just purchased a lightroom 5 upgrade from the adobe website.  When I click download, it says I'm running pre-IE 4 and need to upgrade my browser.  But Im running windows 7 with IE10 according to MS. 

    The Adobe download manager seems to confuse IE10 for IE1 and thinks IE10 is out of date.
    You can either use Compatibility View in  IE10 and switch to IE9.
    Or use a different browser ro download.

    Hi Robin
    This should help:
    Find My Serial Numbers
    If you need to find your serial number for a non-creative cloud product, start by logging in to your adobe account. (Go to Adobe .com  and click “Sign In” in the upper-right menu bar. Enter the email you use as your Adobe ID and your password.) All of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section on the Manage Accounts page that appears.
    For more information on locating or registering serial numbers, please see this link: Find a serial number.

  • How do I update Lightroom 4.4 to download canon g16 raw images?

    How do I update Lightroom 4.4 to download canon g16 raw images from my camera?

    You cannot read your G16 native raw files with any version of LR 4 so there’s no information, here, about paying to update from LR4 to LR 4.4.  You need LR 5.2 to read G16 raw files natively.  LR 4.x to LR 5.x is a pay-for upgrade.
    Alternatively you can use the DNG Converter 8.2 or newer to convert the G16 raw files to DNG raw files and those will work in your older LR 4 version.
    Adobe updates whatever the current version is with new cameras, so once LR 5 came out LR 4.x ceased to be updated for new cameras.

  • Lightroom 5 upgrade won't install on PC with Windows Vista

    I seemed to download the Lightroom 5 upgrade just fine to my PC.  But nothing happens when I double-click the application in my downloads folder.  And there's no LR5 icon on my desktop.  Is there a trick to it?

    Please check the system requirement.
    Lightrrom 5 is only supported on Microsoft® Windows® 7 with Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.

  • Lightroom 4 upgrade extracting issues

    Hello,
    Recently purchased Lightroom 4 upgrade (download version). Currently using Lightroom 3.6 64bit.
    Downloaded successfully, but when tried to extract got this message:
    A. Checked to make sure, but I am logged in as Administrator
    B. Checked the write permissions for the destination folder (Desktop) and write permission is allowed.
    C. I have >30GB available on my SSD HD. I can't imagine it needs more space.
    Thoughts? What should i try next.
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    Looked at the Temp folder and all folders appear to have write permissions enabled.
    Also only using MSE which I turned off and double checked to make sure Adaware wasn't running in the backround. No help. Still the same extracting issue.
    I am not sure about the SSD. I think it is rooted properly? Picture attached.

  • Problem installing Lightroom 5 Upgrade

    I have installed Lightroom 5 Upgrade from a CD_ROM but have not been asked for the Serial number and am unable to open it. Help please?

    Calmc what error message do you receive when you try to open Photoshop Lightroom?  Also which operating system are you using?
    Also if you wish to download a copy of Lightroom 5 you can download the installation files from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&promoid&promoid=DT EML.  You will be prompted to enter your serial number when you open the software.

  • How do I intall a Lightroom 4 upgrade onto a new computer

    I have just purchased a new laptop computer.  I have Lightroom 3.1 installed on my old laptop.  I want to upgrade to Lightroom 4 on the new computer.  Can I install the upgrade directly on the new computer, or do I need to transfer the old Lightroom over first?

    Download and install Lightroom 4 on the new computer. (No need to worry about installing LR3 first)
    Enter your LR4 upgrade serial number.
    The LR4 installer will ask for the serial number of an earlier qualifying version.
    Enter the LR3 serial number
    The LR4 installer will complete the installation

  • Help! Unable to Install Lightroom 4 Upgrade

    Yesterday I purchased the upgrade to Lightroom 4. I was using Lightroom 2. I downloaded the .dmg file successfully, but when I tried opening it, I got an error message saying there was an error with the .pkg file. I tried downloading the .dmg install file from the Adobe website 3 separate times. Each time it downloaded successfully, but I still received the same .pkg error message.

    I assume you're on a Mac. You need to be running OSX 10.6.8 or higher on a 64-bit machine to run LR4.

  • Installing Lightroom 5 Upgrade after completing trial

    I had a trial copy of Lightroom 5 Upgrade that expired while I was traveling.
    I purchased the software and downloaded it.
    I then added the serial number to the trial copy.
    Should I actually delete the trial version and install the one I downloaded, or is it not necessary?
    Also, the version I have is 5.0 but I read that 5.2 was released.
    How can I get the most up-to-date version of the software?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Simona

    Should I actually delete the trial version and install the one I downloaded, or is it not necessary?
    It's not necessary. The trial version and the version you buy contain the same code. The only difference is a valid serial number (which you've already successfully entered).
    Also, the version I have is 5.0 but I read that 5.2 was released.
    LR5.2 is currently a beta version made available by Adobe for testing by early adopters.
    You're welcome to download it from Adobe Labs here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom5-2/
    but don't use it in your normal daily workflow yet. It's not quite ready.
    When it ships, click Help > Updates to get it.

  • Lightroom 6 standalone version download delivered Lightroom CC

    I just bought an upgrade from Lightroom 5 standalone (perpetual) version to Lightroom 6. The download, though, installed Lightroom CC. Is this a problem? Do both the CC and perpetual versions show the same name? Do I really have the perpetual version?

    Well, I solved my problem. I finally reached an Adobe rep through support chat.
    I guess I'm unusual. I'm in the CC Photography plan, but I have a perpetual version of Lightroom 5. I upgraded that to Lightroom 6. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm willing to spend the $79 to have a copy of Lightroom that will still function if I decide to cancel the subscription. (I'm in Photo CC for occasional access to Photoshop and the mobile features.) Apparently Adobe didn't think anyone would do this. LR CC automatically ran when I launced the app because my Adobe ID has a CC Photography account. In order to change it to a perpetual license I had to sign out in the CC version. At the next launch the app gave me the opportunity to create a new Adobe ID and then enter the new serial number. After that it opened as Lightroom 6. I'm glad I had another email address.
