Lightroom shown as trial version

Hi, I have a CC photography plan subscription. On Sunday I reinstalled all the apps as I have changed the subscription to a different adobe id. Now LR is shown as a 30-day trial version, even though my account definitely shows that I have a current subscription. What do I need to do to fix this?

If Lightroom starts the way it should by clicking on that icon, then my suspicion is that you just need to create a new desktop icon for Lightroom and Photoshop. If that doesn't work, then you will have to get in touch with Adobe. I don't have any telephone numbers. But here is a link where you might be able to get some help:

How Do I Update Adobe Lightroom After installing Trial Version?

I am currently running Adobe Lightroom 3 on Win7 64-bit. I would like to run the trial version of LR5, but I am concerned with whether I will be able to implement an upgrade and not a full version installation. Additionally, if this is possible will my catalogs come over automatically or do I have to move them manually?

Lightroom 2.6 trial version camera raw tone curve questions + 4 more

1- How do you reduce the 100% point on the curve (upper right) and raise the 0% point black portion as can been executed in CS4 photoshop bridge camera raw? Example I want a photo adjusted to have a 5% dot value in the white area and a 95% dot value in the black area. Note: CS4 bridge camera raw can lower the white point and raise the black point by pulling the points up or down.
2- After cataloging three internal drives how does one do a search across the three(3) drives simultaneously to find a file name to look for redundancy or whatever without launching each catalog separately?
3- How can an initially created catalog name be changed after the catalog is created?
4- How can a file or several files be added to a catalog after the catalog is created - is there a way to immediately refresh to show newly added files?
5- Is there a way to show Illustrator CS4 files in lightroom 2.6 or a utility to convert them to acceptable LR formats to be visible?

vic,
1. You can do this natively in the LR3 beta 2, but not easily in LR2. You can edit the curve in Camera Raw and save it as a preset, then import that into LR. I don't know the details, but I've seen posts here that talk about it.
2. You can't. That's why it's lots better to have only one catalogue. The images can be spread across as many drives as you want, and that one catalogue can keep track of them all.
3. Use your operating system to rename the catalogue file and its associated top-level folder of previews.
4. You can Import or Synchronize.
5. LR will just deal with JPG, TIFF, DNG, PSD, and various raw files. I don't know of a utility that will convert Illustrator files to one of those formats. If I were you, I'd search in Google.

Lightroom trial version

Can i use Lightroom 30 day trial version for commercial project until the end of the trial period ? I will be doing a 7 day photoshoot and i would like to use the tethering option build in Lightroom 3.
Thank you

You can do whatever you want with it during the trial period.

Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.

I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it. I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software. It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog. How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder. Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product. Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog. Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WesternGuy

When I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>. If I click on <Finish>, It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog". The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog." It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit". If I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.

Photography creative cloud purchased but trial version

Hello,
I have purchased photography creative cloud, but it say both photoshop and lightroom are in trial version. Can you help me, please?

i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
Quit the CC Desktop application,
Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

Lightroom 5 defaulted to my Trial version. Can you please advise on what I did wrong? I can provide the serial number for the purchased subscription.

History - I had a 30 day trial version of Lightroom back in October. One small catalog of 1500 photos were contained in it. When I was prompted to upgrade, I incorrectly selected the option to "choose a different catalog" which prevented me from seeing my recent photos in Lightroom 5. It appears that my version of Lightroom may be a trial version instead of the version for my subscription purchase. Can you please help me with this? I will be glad to provide the serial number as necessary.

Without proper system info and other details nobody can tell you anything. for the time being, try another browser...

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

How to activate the trial version of lightroom 3

Hello,
I am new here and need some help.
I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom 3 in my home windows computer and like it very much. I have then proceeded to purchase a box copy which will only arrive after two weeks. However i do not plan to install it on my home computer but my new imac computer at my office where i will do all my photo editing.
My problem is i cannot wait for two weeks for the product to arrive. Can i download another trial version for my new imac in my office and when the box product comes can i just use the serial number and activate the trial version or do i have to uninstall the trial version and reinstall again. According to my seller she says that i cant do this because i need to reinstall the box product again which sounds weird to me.
My other question is the earlier trial version that i installed in my home computer, i dont plan to use it anymore, so can i just ignore it?
Thanks in advance.

Importing photos puts information for each one into the LR catalog, which is just a database that LR knows how to read and write. Reopening the catalog with a new install of LR would tell LR where each of those photos is, and what adjustments you'd made. You don't have to reimport as long as you reopen the same catalog file with the new install. You could try this on Windows: uninstall-reinstall-reopen, and see how it works to get comfortable with it. You only have to reimport if you lose your catalog, and have to start a new one. If you write the metadata to files, either automatically via a preference, or manually via the Metadata menu item and grid mode, then you can even have your adjustments intact if you have to reimport, but you'll lose your history and other things that are only in the catalog and not in the XMP sidecar files. These sidecar files is probably the only way to transfer edits from the PC version to the Mac version of LR which you probably hadn't considered. At least I don't think you can copy the LR catalog file from a PC and open it on a Mac.
If the LR trial expires before you have a serial number then you can't use it, but once you do enter in the serial number, you can pick up where you left off.
Lightroom isn't activated like Photoshop where there is a Adobe-server record of each computer and serial number. LR is just either an unregistered-trial, an expired-trial or registered. LR is smart enough to understand if you've installed it on the computer, before, so you can't extend a trial by uninstalling and re-installing w/o reformatting your HD and reinstalling the OS, or at least I think that is enough.

Troubleshooting raw files on trial version of Lightroom 4

Just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 4. Am proficient in PS6 but have never used Lightroom. I decided to do a practice run through Lightroom using a folder from a recent shoot..some jpegs are finished and named, some are left alone and I have all the raw files in this folder and expected the entire file of pics to "show" in Lightroom. Only the named finished pics are showing the image and only the raw files are named but "unavailable" to be seen, and any unworked jpegs are not showing at all. As I say I was just doing a practice run on putting Lightroom 4 through its paces so I could familiarize myself with its use. These are files from a Canon 5D Mark III. Help me troubleshoot this please.
Sarahle 547

Although I'm not entirely certain from your problem description, am I right in guessing that these issues are appearing on the Import Screen when you are initially trying to import that folder? If so, "named finished pics are showing the image" I interpret to mean that for jpegs that you have RE-named from original (every file has a name!) you see the thumbnails in the centre panel of the Import screen, which is what you expect.
Original Raw files, however, do not show the image preview....so what does show, any message at all? For 5DIII raw files you need to be running LR4.1 or later, can you confirm that's what you are running?
Finally, the jpegs which you haven't re-named, and are not showing, I'm assuming these are part of Raw+Jpeg 'pairs' SOOC, is that correct? If so, go to the Preferences menu in Lightroom and check that in the Import Options section of the General Tab you have checked the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". If it is UNchecked, Lightroom will not show you the Jpeg half of such 'pairs', it will simply make a reference to the Jpeg as a "sidecar" file to the Raw, and the Jpeg cannot be separately processed. Check the option, however, and you do get separate files...

Hello, I recently downloaded a trial version of Lightroom and then decided to get the monthly photoshop membership. Now, when I launch Lightroom, my choices are to enter a serial number to continue the trial. On the adobe website, it says "You can convert your trial to a Creative Cloud complete or single-app membership by purchasing on the Creative Cloud website. After you purchase your membership, your desktop product trial will automatically be licensed upon relaunch." But this is not the case. I do not want to risk losing my catalog and the work I have already done in Lightroom, so what should I do?

I have downloaded a trial version of lightroom 4 to upgrade from my lightroom 3, but it wont open.

Hi all, I have downloaded a trial version of lightroom 4 to see if I want to upgrade from my lightroom3, but it wont open on my pc. It keeps asking me what program I want to use to open it with, and when I click adobe reader it tells me that it is not a supported file type or the file has been damaged! Help!???

When I click on the program download in the download file, it asks me if I want to open it. When I click open, it then asks me which program I want to use to open it with, (this window lists all programs such as Nero, internet explorer adobe reader etc) and automatically highlights adobe reader. After I click open with the adobe reader highlighted, it then tells me that it cannot open Lightroom because it is not a supported file type, or the file has been damaged! I have downloaded it twice but neither one is able to open. Thanks so much.

Can trial version of Lightroom CC sync with mobile?

I have the trial version of Lightroom and I have Lightroom Mobile installed on my iPad. I have sync turned on, but on the iPad (logged in) it says no collections available. I can't find anywhere online whether the trial version of the desktop app is allowed to sync. But if I can't sync a small set of photos to understand how well it works, I won't purchase the CC subscription. I can't figure out what the point is of a trial version if you can't see how the sync feature works. It seems like the whole concept of CC is the mobile connection.

Please refer to:
Yes, Lightroom mobile is available for iPad and iPhone. With Lightroom mobile, you can edit and organize photos in your Lightroom 5 catalog anywhere, anytime. Lightroom mobile requires a Creative Cloud Photography or complete membership. A 30-day trial is also available.
