Lightroom displays request for region and serial number on first run

Photoshop Lightroom CC Mac displays a region request, then shows a serial number (not our CC serial number) on first run for every user. How do I stop this happening and will Adobe fix this behaviour?

The easiest solution is to run these two commands after installing Lightroom 5:
defaults write /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5 firstLaunchHasRun30 -bool true
defaults write /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5 RegistrationField_CountryRegion -string 1
This sets the two needed default prefs that will get copied to each new user that logs in.
This assums you are installing via the pkg created with CCP.
You can also write these settings to the global Library/Preferences folder for users that already have accounts on the machine, if needed.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5 firstLaunchHasRun30 -bool true
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5 RegistrationField_CountryRegion -string 1

    I purchased Lightroom 5 and Elements 12 and installed them on a computer. I now have a new computer, and wish to install them on the new one. When I tried to do so, my only option seemed to be Adobe Cloud. When I was asked for my LR serial number, it was not accepted. Please help me install these two products; I prefer stand-alone, rather than a monthly fee. Thank you

    I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

    If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
    If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
    IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

  • I would like to purchase the license and serial number for Lightroom 4

    I would like to purchase the license and serial number for Lightroom 4 however even though you can download it from this site, there is no option to buy.  Unfortunately I can't upgrade my computer's operating system beyond OSX 10.6.8 even though it's an intel duo so there's no point me getting Lightroom 5. 
    There doesn't seem to be an option to contact anyone at Adobe to see if there is an option to buy.  Each time I attempt to do so I am directed to the forum, so it looks like my only option may be to use another app.  Maybe capture one's the way forward

    Adobe does not sell Lightroom 4 any longer.

  • Just purchased Lightroom (stand alone) and asks for a previous serial number. I don't have one only an students version of photoshop for which I can't find the serial number

    Just purchased Lightroom (stand alone) and asks for a previous serial number. I don't have one only an students version of photoshop for which I can't find the serial number

    If it is asking for a serial number for a previous version then you purchased an upgrade version rather than a standalone version.  You should be able to determine this based on the price you paid.  If you do not own an earlier version then you need to purchase a full version rather than an upgrade.  If you did purchase a full version but acquired an upgrade version then you will need to acquire the full version.

  • Why can't I activate Lightroom 5 despite having an Activation Code and Serial Number?

    Why can't I activate Lightroom 5 despite having an Activation Code and Serial Number?

    It may be possible that you are trying to activate the Creative Cloud version? What error message are you getting?
    You may need to uninstall the existing version and then download the Perpetual License version from one of the links below, and install.
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7
    If the above does not solve the problem then you will need to supply more details.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and the serial number.  It is asking for an older serial number?  Please help?

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and the serial number.  It is asking for an older serial number?  Please help?

    Hi juneb55782770,
    I believe that you have an upgrade version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, in this case it will ask for the serial number of the previous qualifying version.
    You can find your old serial number using this link : Find your serial number quickly
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Please reply if you still experience any issue.

  • Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number

    Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number, but only on one of my Macs. This is a new Mac that I restored from my old Mac. It made sense to have to put in the documentation the first time, but the program keeps asking for it. Any thoughts?

    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library; this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    SInce you migrated your system from another mac, you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppsSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

  • I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

    I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

    You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
    If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.

    Hi, I would like to install my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard - I got the serial number and disk, but you are asking for another product and serial number that I dont have? What should I do?

    The serial number that you might have is an upgrade version & it will be asking for a previous qualifying version serial number.
    The issue can be different too, please contact Adobe Support for resolution: http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6
