LR4 upgrade from LR3 registration keeps failing

I was beta testing LR4, and bought the upgrade today (to upgrade from LR3).. entered the serial number into LR4 Beta to upgrade, entered my registration info, and keep getting this pop up afterwards.  Tried contacting Adobe chat support, and got nowhere.  Idiots in India.  I have tried downloading the file from Adobe as well (instead of just registering the beta) .. keep getting this error (I'm using a Mac):
I try clicking the "goto Adobe.com" button, and it takes me to an "error 404" page.

Hi,
Remove all the versions of LR from the computer and then remove this file from this location  (USER)Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom x.0 Registration file
Then install LR by downloading from adobe.com and then serialize with your serial number and then check.

  • How many computers can I put LR4 onto? (it would be upgrade from LR3)

    Before I upgrade from LR3 to LR4, I need to know how many computers I am allowed to put this on (I have desktop and laptop).

    Hi,
    two computers owned by you and you are not allowed to use lr at the same time (both running) on these computers.

  • LR4 Upgrade shows LR3 Tone Settings panel - Help!

    I just upgraded from LR3 to LR4 and migrated my photo catalogs to the LR4 version.  As I was working with my photos, I noticed the Tone Settings panel initially loads the new LR4 version (with Whites and Blacks) but, once the program is completely loaded, it displays the LR3 Tone Settings Panel (with Hightlights and Blacks).   Has anyone else run into this and how can it be fixed???
    Thanks in advance!
    Craig

    When you upgrade your existing LR3 catalog to LR4, all images in the catalog that had previous develop adjustments (so likely most of them) will retain the 2010 Process Version, and therefore will exhibit the LR3 controls in the Basic Panel. These can be upgraded to PV2012 (and thus to the new Basic Panel controls) as indicated by Michael.
    New images imported into the LR4 catalog will by default get PV2012, thus you'll see the new controls from the outset. On such images you can, if needed, revert back to PV2010 by selecting the option in the Camera Calibratiion panel.

  • Can I buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and a student discount? If so, which page do I need? Thanks.

    I am trying to buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and with a student discount.
    If I go the student discount route on the web U get taken to the 'cloud' options which I don't want.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS Is the upgrade worth it in any case??

    I believe there are NO upgrades for Student and Teacher editions but you can see here: Products
    If the price is the same as an ordinary upgrade you are probably better off buying that because it can be upgraded in the future.

  • I just upgraded from LR3.3 to LR5 and can't print now....

    I just upgraded from LR3.3 to LR5 and now when printing on my Epson 2880 the image is printing only a portion of my image - not placing it properly on the page as it appears in the print preview. I have checked with Epson and they confirm all my page size specs and print preferences are correct - Epson says it's a software glitch. The image looks right on the screen in the print preview - yet places the image in a corner of the page when printing, cutting off half of it. Tried it both on 8.5x11 and on 13x19 with two images and had the same problem. I need this fixed ASAP thanks @Adobe @JaneSzaboPhoto

    Yes, I have the paper set up properly as 13" x 19" (or 8.5 x 11 when trying more than one size) and even reviewed this over the phone with Epson. All setting are correct and it looks right on the print preview - but shifts the image to the top left of the page and shrinks the image and cuts off the top of the image.....no matter what paper size.

  • Is it possible any longer to upgrade from LR3 to LR5 without subscribing to Creative Cloud?

    Is it possible any longer to upgrade from LR3.5 to LR5 without subscribing to Creative Cloud? I am not interested in a CC sub at this time.

    You can click Buy on this page to purchase LR5 without subscribing:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html
    First, though, download and install LR 5.6 from the Adobe Updates page and make sure LR5 will run on your computer:

  • Upgrading from LR3 to LR4?

    Is there a difference upgrading via download or disc when going from from LR3 to LR4? I have heard people mention that it is better to download the upgrade and enter your registration code from your retail packaging later ?

    As mentioned above the d/load will be the current release whereas the disk version will be 4.0 and need updating.
    There are many differences between Lr3 and 4 though including catalogs (Lr3 catalogs will have a copy made and upgraded) and processing (a new process version) which can alter image appearance of existing files. So don't update the process version on existing files before you have experimented - I do it only when reviewing a file if I feel I can work it better with the new version, not updating the whole lot at once!!

  • Question regarding upgrading from LR3 to LR4

    I currently have Lightroom 3 installed on my PC and want to upgrade to Lightroom 4.
    I have not had Lightroom 3 all that long and not too many files are there. I have two questions:
    1. Is it better to uninstall Lightroom 3 and then install a fresh copy of Lightroom 4 or could I just upgrade the current Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4.
    I know I have heard in the past is is usually better to to a fresh install. As I have only had Lightoom 3 for a few months and few files I wondered if
    this was the way to go or would an upgrade be ok.
    2. I actually have the full version of Lightroom 4 (as opposed to an upgrade edition). Luckily for me, my father-in-law purchased it but turned out it was
    not what he wanted so he gave it to me. Can I use this full version to upgrade (if that is the solution to my first question)? I  know I can use it to do a fresh install.
    Also, if you can recommend any links to directions or video tutorials on migrating from LR3 to LR4 that would be great as I am very new to Lightroom.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Yes, it is very easy, as your existing LR3 installation will not interfere with the new LR4 installation.
    Just download LR4.3 from Adobe.
    Then start it, and go for File-Open catalog, and point to your exsiting LR3-catalog. The program will tell you that it needs to upgrade the catalog, which you confirm. This will create a new version-LR4 of your latest LR3-catalog.
    You might not like the name automatically chosen by this upgrade process, so close LR4 and use Windows Explorer to rename it into something meaningful like "LR4 Master Catalaog" or some such. Then double-click on it and work from there.
    Your previous images will show an exlamation mark in develop module for LR3's old process version 2010. Do not do anything on a batch basis for it, as this is not needed.
    Only for images, for which you do not like your previous LR3-develop results so much, click on the exclamation mark and upgrade it to LR4's process version 2012, and manually tweak from there.

  • Upgrading from LR3 Academic to LR4 Std

    I am running LR3 academic.  I have purchased LR3 std and the LR4 upgrade.  What is the process to install LR4 and get the licensing straight?  I am presuming I need to install LR3 std so that it will accept the LR4 upgrade?  Do I need to uninstal the LR3 academic first - will I lose catelogs, presets, etc?  I want to get this right the first time!  Thanks

    No need to install the LR3 first all you need is the LR3 serial number , just start installing the LR4 , once you will enter the LR4 serial number then it will ask for LR3 serial number , punch it in and you will be ood to go.

  • Upgrade from 2.6.34 fails. No devices recognized.

    I should have posted this over a month ago, but I've been in the process of moving. I frequently run powerpill -Syu to keep up to date, and debug issues as the come up, but the upgrade from 2.6.34 caused so many issues that I've been unable to attempt to resolve until now.
    Here's what I did.
    pacman -Syu
    Here's what happened:
    boot into upgraded kernel and USB drivers are not found, so I can't use the keyboard or mouse. During boot, eth0 is not found (there's an error message to this effect), can't start ssh.
    so basically the computer is unusable. It seems that none of the drivers are found, but I can't test because I have no way to input into the system.
    To resolve I booted in using system rescue cd and rolled back the kernel upgrade.
    My system:
    Atom 330 ION
    RAID0
    Stock kernel
    Where should I start to fix this? I'll run the upgrade again and post the error output in a few hours when I finish work. But if somebody has some ideas beforehand I'd like to try that before crippling my computer.
    Moderator, not sure if this is the correct forum, it's a package upgrade issue, but also a kernel problem. If I've posted incorrectly, please move the topic.

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing the same problem after upgrading from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. I get the following upon booting:
    mount: Mounting /dev/root on /new_root failed: No such device or address
    pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory
    umount: /initrd: No such file or directory
    umount: /initrd: No such file or directory
    /linuxrc: 382: /sbin/busybox: not found
    Freeing unused kernel memory: 244k freed
    BusyBox v1.01 (2006.03.10-22:56+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
    /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
    So I went to a backup kernel and tried to rebuild the initrd:
    # mkinitrd auto
    Checking Input...
    ERROR: Your ramdisk size (4096 KB) is too low! It must be at least 16384 KB.
    Note also that I'm getting a lot of these messages during the boot process, no matter what kernel I choose:
    FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.15.4-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory
    Any ideas on this one? I'm stuck! Thank you!

  • Export function not working in Lr 5.3 after upgrade from Lr3.6?

    I've just upgraded to Lr3.6 from Lr5.3 on Windows 7 and am unable to export photos or create smart previews. I'm suspecting the catalog hasn't migrated properly in some way but can't work out why. Can anyone help please?

  • Upgrade from LR3 to LR4

    Hi,
    I have a few questions before I install and migrate my LR3 Catalog to LR4.
    Is there an Adobe Read Me document that discusses the do's and don'ts?
    Will my settings for LR3 transfer to LR4? Currently my "Lightroom Settings" is saved with my LR3 Catalog.
    Will LR4 save a new LR4 Catalog based on the previous LR3 version?
    Finally, can I run both programs, LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac OS X 10.7.2? I plan to do this just for the next few months and LR3 Catalog will not point to the same photos as LR4.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    If

    Ian,
    Thanks, yes I started to watch Ms. Kost videos, they are always very helpful. I also looked over the read me, http://www.adobe.com/support/lightroom/read_me/Lightroom4_Readme.pdf
    Just a follow, can I keep and run both LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac? They will point to two different catalogs and photo folders. I want to run a couple of comparisons.
    Thanks again,
    If
    Upgrade Notes
      To update your Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalog simply launch Lightroom 4 and you will be able to select and upgrade your previous Lightroom catalog.
      The Lightroom 4 catalog upgrade process does not erase or remove your previous Lightroom catalogs. If you wish to try the Lightroom 4 30-day trial by upgrading your existing catalog, you may always return to earlier versions of Lightroom and continue using your previous catalog.
    o NOTE: Any changes or work completed in your catalog once it has been upgraded to work with Lightroom 4 will not be available in previous versions of Lightroom.
    o NOTE: The upgrade process will modify the image preview information of an upgraded catalog.(This information is stored in the .lrdata file that is located adjacent to a catalog file in the file system) Returning to a previous version of Lightroom will require that the previews be re-rendered. This can be a lengthy process for those with hundreds of thousands of images.
      Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 6, Photoshop Elements 7, Photoshop Elements 8, Photoshop Elements 9, or Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
      Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 9 or Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
      Lightroom 4 Beta catalogs may be upgraded using the same methods available for Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalogs.
      If you attempt to upgrade the same Lightroom catalog more than once, Lightroom will inform you of the location of the previously upgraded catalog.

  • How do I upgrade from LR3 to LR4 on both my MAC and my PC?

    I have LR3 installed on my PC desktop and my MAcbook Pro. How can I download and upgrade both without buying it twice?

    As long as you do not run both LR versions at the same time the Adobe license allows you to intall it on 2 machines.
    You need 1 download only, as the program is identical on Windows and on Mac.
    It is sufficient to let one of the machiens do the actual upgrad work and copy the reults over to the other.
    From then on you have the usual challenge of keeping overlapping catalogs apart and knowing exactly, which portion is newer on which one, so you can export this portion as a catalog and import it into the other.
    But I assume you have figured this out in a good workflow for you?
