Lightroom requires me to sign in 3 or 4 times whenever I use it.
I get confronted with a screen telling my trial has 00 days left and I must license or sign in to continue.
If I simply ignore any of these repeated requests, Lightroom immediately exits
.This happens whether or not I sign in to Creative Cloud before attempting to launch Lightroom.
The same happens with Photoshop.
My subscription is in good standing and Lightroom/ Photoshop are up to date. There are no earlier versions installed.

From what you report it appears that you have a trial version of Lightroom 5 perpetual license version installed. Subscribing to the Creative Cloud package PS CC and Lightroom will not activate this version. Try the following.
1. Uninstall Lightroom using the OS system normal uninstall process. This will not affect your existing Catalog and user files and but will just remove the Lightroom Application.
2. Reboot your computer.
3. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Application Manager and it should give you the option to download the latest Lightroom 5 install package. Proceed to download and install this version and it should be activated automatically, no requirement to enter any license key like the Perpetual License version. It will automatically link to your existing Catalog files etc.

  • How long does it take to sign in for the first time to begin using the trial version?

    I entered my password and clicked sign in.  The loading circle spins for hours and nothing else happens.  I am not able to click cancel.  I am not able to red x.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi rj work,
    Are you having trouble downloading the trial, or have you already downloaded/installed and aren't able to start the application?
    I'm guessing it may be the former--that you can't download the trial. If so, please make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and temporarily disable any antivirus. Then, try downloading from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X.
    If I misunderstood, and the issue is occurring after installation, please let me know.
    Best,
    Sara

    Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
    otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
    Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
    One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
    Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

  • MacBook Pro w/10.6.8 requires me to sign in twice at initial log-in screen before loading

    My MacBook Pro w/10.6.8 requires me to sign in twice at initial log-in screen before loading.. In addition, after Safari 5.1.7 has been open for a few hours the browser stops loading pages and then the entire computer  freezes and I have to do a forced reboot with the power button. The first push of the power button brings up the four options screen: "sleep, restart, turn off, logout" but they don't work. I have to force shutdown.
    I don't have either of these problems from a safe boot. However a boot from a clean "Test" administrator account still requires me to login twice before the desktop loads.
    If I login once as either Test or my User Name then choose the " back" button then switch to the other login option before pressig the return key, I only have to login in once at the new login screen. 
    This problem began after I partitioned my 500GB HD with a 10.6.8 partition--the problem partition-- and a Lion 10.7.4 partition (to avoid iCloud issues with Snow Leopard). The Lion partition does not require double login. I have not done anything yet with the Lion partition except software updates.
    I have also been having LCD problems  (according to recent Genius Bar visit, not related to the NVIDIA 8300 problem). Sometimes (every 2-3 times I start the MBP) the MBP will reboot but the screen will be so dark I can't see the cursor and can barely see the desktop. The brightness is set at max and pressing the buttons up/down don't affect the dark screen. Usually I restart and the screen appears normal. This problem occurs with Safe, Test and User Name boots.
    Thanks for any suggestions

    I have the same issue and eventually revirted to logging in web wise to emails and have found that its not so bad- but the moment app wants to access mail it slows down and have had had issues again.
    I know that Mac products when accessing emails have a tendancey to semi download images- and was told that this can be the issue by a friend( not sure how rellable this is) but have noticed a coralation between the two factors.
    I know that there are issues with hotmail when on certain devices ( had the warning form hotmail's site)- but still have yet to be shown how to remove my email from Mail- if yo have any ideas I might try it.
    Please if you have any advice of how to remove main email that would be great and it may be a  option for you.

  • Lightroom requires me to enter my serial

    I am a newbie to Lightroom 5 and have just recently downloaded it. Whenever I exit out of the program and attempt to open it again I am required to re enter my serial number everytime I want to use it. I purchased it and do not understand why it is doing this.

  • Macbook Pro requires me to sign on two times

    Hello My brand-new Macbook Pro is requiring me to sign on two times after it has been on standby (shut down) for more than a couple of hours.  It is really annoying.  I bought it in December of 2014 (Black Friday) and as soon as I opened it and connected to my wifi it asked me to download the more current operating system.  (Forgive me for not knowing the specific name, I am new to the Apple computer family.)  Ever since it has been asking for me to sign on two separate times, and the second time it lags and I cannot type in my password immediately.  Help me!  I love my Macbook Pro but this is very frustrating.

    They are very good. I use them when in Vancouver. Alternatively, reinstall OS X from scratch:
    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

    FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
    This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling.  This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID.  I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it.  I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc.  I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada.  I keep getting this message from the Mac.
    I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems.  I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss.  As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work.  This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
    Bluetooth is turned on for both devices.  Both devices are on the same WiFi network.  Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
    Thanks in advance,

    (By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

    You don't delete a file, you have to delete a folder. Is that what you did?
    If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom.

    It isn't a file, it's a folder. It will have the same name as your catalog, but will have the extension data. It will be in the same folder along with your catalog. If you need to use the search feature to search for *.lrdata.
