Lightroom trial and creative cloud account

Hello friends,
I have a LR4 trial that has expired. When I downloaded the trial I had a good feeling I would buy so I spent a fair amount of time organizing photos to use LR as well as get some editing done. Of coarse I loved LR and decided to buy the creative cloud membership. Problem is of coarse my 30 day trail has expired. The only way to license LR now is with a serial number. My understanding is that Creative Cloud doesnt give serials.
Is there a way to keep my LR as installed and activate a license with creative cloud. If not what would be the most pain free way to download it again through the Creative Cloud interface and keep everything as it is now in LR.
It may be important to note that I cant access LR, as soon as I open the program it prompts me for a S#
Thanks guys and gals,
Dale

Hey Dale,
When you have a paid Creative Cloud membership Lightroom will appear in the Adobe Application Manager. If you choose the option to install Lightroom with an expired Lightroom trial currrently installed it will just update that installation so it is licensed as part of Creative Cloud. Any catalogs or work you did with the trial will still be available and it will no longer prompt you to enter a serial number.
This FAQ might be helpful if you had further question too:

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?

When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

Upgrading from Lightroom Trial to Creative Cloud

I've searched in the forums but didn't find the answer: I had an expired trial version of Lightroom on my computer. I have a creative cloud account and want to use LR now using that. In my CC install manager I can see that LR5 is updated, but when I try to open the program it asks me a serial number. Is there a solution or should I uninstall LR, download and reinstall it?

And if the Creative Cloud version isn’t listed in the CC Desktop app after you uninstall the non-CC version, then log out of the CC Desktop app, via its Preferences (Gear) / Accounts area, then reboot, then log back in. This forces the CC Desktop to rescan what is and isn’t installed.

Lightroom trial without Creative Cloud app

Hi all,
I'm considering Lightroom and I'd like to download the trial version. My machine is getting a bit old (2011 MacBook Pro), so a "try before you buy" seems like a good idea.
However, I don't really feel like installing the Creative Cloud app just for the trial as I'm only interested in the standalone version of Lightroom.
Does anyone know where I can download a trial version of Lightroom?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Andra

Thanks, but unfortunately clicking on the "Photoshop Lightroom 6" link on the page you recommended leads me to the product page for Lightroom 6 (http://www.adobe.com/nl/products/photoshop-lightroom.html). Clicking "Download" on that page downloads the installer for the Creative Cloud App, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Lightroom 4 and Creative Cloud

I have a subscription to Creative Cloud and 20 days left on my Lightroom 4 trial. If the trial period expires before Lightroom is added to Creative Cloud, do I have to purchase it?

There's nothing immoral about keeping Lr back for a few weeks while they integrate it into Creative Cloud. At least they told you they were going to add it eventually (I had word from Jeff Veen, Adobe's Senior Product guy for Creative Cloud it'd be "a few weeks") rather than letting you buy it and it just shows up in the list. I'm actually pretty sure they wanted it in there from the start, but something slipped somewhere.
I'm guessing adding Lightroom to Creative Cloud is actually made MORE difficult due to the fact that the LR4 upgrade was released prior to CS6/CC. I'd assume that the LR licensing system is being retrofitted with the CC licensing and the install process is being integrated into the Adobe Installer process that the rest of CS6 uses. Lightroom has always been kind of an odd duck (it was the first Adobe app I can remember that had cross-platform licensing and it has never used the same install process as the rest of Adobe's apps). While CS5, 5.5 and 6 all use "Adobe Installer," Lightroom 4 is a standard Mac OS X package (on the Mac, I don't use Windows). It's going to take a while to integrate LR into the Creative Cloud. CS6 got the benefit of being developed and released alongside of Creative Cloud.
I'm sorry Adobe isn't giving you a drop-dead date, but they're actually being smart with that. If they told you June 1 and you made decisions based on that and that slipped (even a few days) you all'd be back in here moaning about how they missed their deadline and every news outlet in the world would give them guff about it. If they use nebulous language like "a few weeks" then you're (and I share this) a bit frustrated now, but it gives them a little flexibility in case things slip a bit.
I'm hardly an Adobe apologist (I think they've been a pretty abusive monopoly for a while now), but there are valid software development reasons that LR might not make it in on day 1. I also think Adobe deserves kudos for putting out a reasonably-priced subscription model and the new CS6 apps are awesome. I'm cautiously optimistic that they've turned the corner back to a company that I can get behind again.

How to transfer my Lightroom Trial to Creative Cloud?

I know that I cannot transfer the actual program but it says that Lightroom is up to date on my desktop app. Will I have to completely uninstall Lightroom free trial in order to download the CC version? If so, how do I go about saving all my edited work and transferring the smart collections? Is that even possible?

CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when they are not

Previous trials and Creative Cloud

I have previously installed trial versions of Abode products. Now, when I try the Creative Cloud trial, it says my time has expired. Is there anyway to try the cloud before I buy it?

There is no way to reset for the trials short of erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system.

My behance and creative cloud accounts seem to sort have become unlinked.

Hi there,
At one point when I clicked Community I was able to view my Behance feed as normal and upload work etc. It no longer seems to do that.
I have no profile, work, friends, etc....
I triple checked on both behance and adobe's end that the account are in fact linked correctly, and they are. and stranger so when I click "view profile" it DOES bring me to my behance profile. See below.
I also keep getting one single "request" to which I reject but it pops up quite often.
Ideas?
Reinstall Creative Cloud app?
Not sure what to do.

Hi Lizzie, it sounds like you're not logged into Creative Cloud Desktop with the correct account.
You have two Behance accounts:
behance.net/lizziemakesthings
behance.net/lizziemiller666daee
I just messaged you with more information about the email addresses associated with these accounts and how you can swap them so that the right account is showing up in Creative Cloud desktop.
Thanks!

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD PHOTOSHOP CC OR LIGHTROOM FROM MY CREATIVE CLOUD ACCOUNT.

I ALREADY HAVE PHOTOSHOP CS6 AND LIGHTROOM 5. IS THIS THE REASON I CAN'T DOWNLOAD PHOTOSHOP CC?

Louse Cormier do you receive an error message when you attempt to download and install Photoshop CC? If so what specific error message are you receiving?

Already have a Lightroom 4 license AND have Creative Cloud account

Hi, I've been using Lightroom for a long time and already have a Lightroom 4 license, and got a Creative Cloud account as the upgrade to a CS5.5 Design Premium license several weeks ago. I also use 3 Macs in my home studio and would like to run Lightroom on all 3 of them. Can I use the Creative Cloud Lightroom 4 version on two of them AND use my original Lightroom license on the 3rd Mac without problem?? That makes sense to me, but I just want to verify that this is true. Thanks very much,

Thanks, Ken!

I talked to your guys yesterday about installing correct version of Lightroom 5 which I legally owned, and your guy provided me a download link (different from Creative cloud account), but somehow it was for Windows version not for Mac version. I would very much like to download a Mac version, so please send my correct web link. By the way my s. number for Lightroom 5 up is [removed], and I also have s.number for 4 up and 3 full.

The latest non-CC version of LR 5 is 5.7.1 and download links are available on the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Both Mac and Win links are there.
If you are asking for a LR 5 CC link, which wouldn't require a serial number, please be more clear about that.

I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

The standalone version and the CC version are both the same exact program, but the licensing is completely different. It will be necessary for you to uninstall the creative cloud trial version and then install the one you purchased from Amazon. After you install, you will be able to open the same catalog and continue from where you were.

Activating trial after creating creative cloud account

I have a creative cloud account, but before purchasing, I was using a trial version of lightroom. I now have the created cloud account, and the trial has expired, but I'm not able to activate the developing tool because it's telling me to purchase lightroom.

It will be necessary for you to uninstall the trial version that you have been using. Then you will be able to install Lightroom through the creative cloud application manager. You will be able to open and use the same catalog you have been using.

I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.

Thanks.

I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
Thanks

Paid Creative cloud account but it's still saying I'm on a trial

Hi I have a paid Creative cloud account but it's still saying I'm on a trial, I have contacted help once before but the problem still remains and I need to get this sorted as I'm teaching tomorrow and my trial is due to expire (payments have been taken from my account). Any ideas on what can be done to solve the issue?
Kind regards
Shaun
