LR 5 Trial and Serial Number

I have a TRIAL VERSION of LR 5. It expired today. I just joined CC.
LR5 is asking me for a Serial Number when I try to open it.
How do I get LR 5 to recognize my CC membership?
I also had a Photoshop CC trial on my computer which was expired, but that software has a button that says
"License Software" and clicking on that allows me to sign in with CC membership, the Photoshop CC software recognized that and allowed me access.
How do I get LR 5 to do the same?
There is much I do not understand about the way Adobe does things. For instance if I go into Photoshop CC folder in Applications, there is an UNINSTALL option. I see no such option for LR 5 so that I could theoretically delete that and then reinstall LR from CC.
There's something to be said for consistency in terms of ease of use by consumers.
If someone could tell me how to get past the Serial Number Request with LR5 and get it to recognize my CC Membership that would be grealty appreciate. Just tried calling Adobe Support and the wait is nearly an hour.
Thanks.

Hi LaurieSpeech,
Please navigate to Application/Utilities/Adobe Installers and look for Lightroom uninstaller and uninstall it. Run the CC cleaner tool to remove any leftover ruminants of Lightroom: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html .
Try installing Lightroom again from CC desktop.
Please let us know whether it worked.

  • CS6 Creative Suite keeps asking to 'continue trial' and 'serial number' even though I own it.

    Hello-
    My office owns CS6 Creative Suite.
    I needed to get After Effects CC for work so we downloaded Creative Cloud and then bought/downloaded After Effects CC onto my computer.
    However- once we did this, my CS6 started asking to "continue trial" or for a "serial number"- but these are already owned applications. I cannot even get into them any more because of this.
    This is a PC.
    Does anyone know the solution to this?

  • Trial mode and serial number issue with Creative Cloud

    Hello,
    I recently bought a CC membership but I seem to be getting the same trial mode/serial number window others have been receiving when trying to open a Creative Cloud app. I've already spoken with two Adobe techs without any resolves. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CC, I renamed an OOBE file that the tech suggested I do and looked into the Language preferences. I'm on an iMac 10.8.4.
    I'm really not technically minded but to me it seems like something continues to read my original CS6 trial I had previously. I've since uninstalled it but something remains perhaps My only thoughts at this point would be to make sure I have any recent files backed up then perhaps use Time Machine and revert back to before I installed CC then try installing again OR do the trial and hope once the 30 days are up it will read my paid account.
    I would really appriciate any feedback. I've used far too many excuses at work having missed deadlines due to this issue.
    Thank you

    Okay, I think I have it solved *fingers crossed* by following this:
    Mac:
    1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
    2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
    3. Remove the entries and save the file
    4.  try again launching any product from CS6
    Thanks

    I did a backup of the hosts file and labelled it "hosts-backup" and put it on my desktop, then made another copy of the hosts file (since you can't alter the original). This time I removed ALL the Adobe entries and named the file "hosts", and saved that to the desktop. I then replaced the original hosts file with the altered saved version by dragging it into the etc folder.
    I started up Flash cc and it worked! I've since downloaded PS cc and it's opened as well. I just hope it continues to function...

  • Develop module is disabled in LR5. How do I activate my LR5 installation. I have a physical DVD and serial number.

    Hi
    I have a physical copy of a LR5 update. But I am unable to use it because the trial version is expired now and I don´t know how to enter the serial number.
    Any idea?

    Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Lightroom forum.
    Giannisolis have you utilized the option to License this Software?  This will give you the opportunity to enter your Adobe ID and serial number.  The License this Software option is available on the trial expiration screen.

  • HT4007 I have lost my original disk and serial number

    I have lost my original disk and serial number, what can I do?

    Do you need to reinstall or only need the serial number?
    To retrieve the serial number - if Aperture is still running on any Mac you own, you can see the serial number in the "About" panel when Aperture is running:
    From the main menu bar:  Aperture > About Aperture.
    If you do no longer have a running Aperture installation to retrieve the serial number, contact Apple with a proof of purchase and ask for a replacement serial number, see these links as to what is considered to be a proof of purchase:
    Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861
    If you need an installer to reinstall Aperture without CD/DVD, download the Aperture Trial:
    You can download the Aperture Trial here:
         Aperture 3.1 Trial
    Delete your current Aperture version from the Applications folder, then run the Trial installer and immediately update using "Software Update" from the -menu.
    Then launch Aperture and enter your serial numbers, all while signed in as an administrator.

  • Can I download Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium on a new Mac if I've had it installed on my old one since December 2011? I have the product key and serial number.

    I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 inch in December 2011 and I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium shortly after and installed it on the computer.  The other day my friend spilled his drink on my computer and it is now going to cost me $800 to get it fixed so I am considering getting a new one instead of getting mine fixed I'm not sure if the memory is still ok or not either.  It didn't get that wet and Apple told me it is more than likely ok but there is no guarantee that they are going to keep the memory when they fix it.  So I was wondering if I get a new one if I can install the Suite on the new one I still have the product key and serial number for the Suite.  Or if I decide to get mine fixed and the memory is swept, then can I reinstall it on mine after it is fixed?  If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank You

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.
    Verification of the Adobe Software failed
    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

    If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have the IMEI and serial number. Will I still be able to find it?

    My iPhone was stolen and I have the IMEI and serial number. Will I still be able to find it?

    Thanks. Yes. But somehow it's already turned off by the thief. I am just hoping he goes to an area with free wifi to transmit the lost phone mode. I'm giving it a few weeks and i hope that the new iOS 7 function will work. That they won't be able to reset my phone without my apple id & password. I just wish I downloaded the app iHound before.
    Oh and I called up our national telecommunications commission and they'll be able to disable my phone's function through my IMEI.

  • 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.
