LR5 versions, catalog compatibility and latest non-cloud version

I've been using LR3, then 4 now 5 - I was running 5.3.
However, my HDD crashed so I rebuilt my Win7 OS, reinstalled LR5, but it's now the cloud version (which I don't have a licence for). Even more frustrating (or maybe it's a blessing in disguise), my LR5 catalog is NOT compatible with LR5.7.1 ?!? It says it's too old.
I've searched, but cannot find any documentation saying there's a compatibility issue between different versions of LR and when I upgraded from 4 to 5, it managed a catalog upgrade. Now I'm doing a "minor" upgrade, it cannot read it ?
Where is there a compatibility matrix showing which catalog version can be read / upgraded by which LR versions?
Bearing all that in mind, I think I'll stick to my previous non-cloud version of LR, but my question is which version should I use and will it be compatible with my catalog backup.
Thanks in advance (and sorry for my rant )

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply.
I've calmed down a bit now And managed to download 5.7.1 standalone in non-cloud version. But the problem remains.
Or:
Does that mean my catalog is corrupt?

Dreamweaver CS6 Non-cloud version

Since the Adobe training videos seem to be done on the cloud version and the non-cloud version does not have the same options (i.e. insert header, insert nav, insert aside...) is there a training video available for the non-cloud version? If not, does anyone know how to insert these items short of coding it all by hand?

Videos tend to gloss over the finer points. I recommend this 5-part written tutorial by David Powers.

Non cloud upgrade

I have been using CS4 since it came out and want to upgrade to the latest non cloud version. How can I do this? Seems everything is the CC version.

In addition to what John said, Cloud software is not platform specific. You can install on either Mac, Windows or both. Cloud software receives regular product updates/upgrades which the disk version of CS6 does not.
You don't have to uninstall CS4. You can keep CS4 & install Creative Cloud software alongside it if you wish.
Creative Cloud Complete Plan includes much more than just Dreamweaver. In all, there are about 17 Adobe software products plus many other perks & services that come with Cloud membership. As a former CS4 user, you may qualify for a 40% discount on your first year's membership -- US $29.95/mo.

Compatability between cloud and non-cloud versions

I'm pretty sure there will be no compatability problems between the same versions of cloud and non-cloud products. But what about the feature updates that are mentioned as a benefit of the cloud products. How do they effect the file format. Does it depend on whether or not I use a certain feature? Will these updates only provide features that don't change the file format? For example: If I have version 6.0 of non-cloud InDesign on one computer and 6.? of cloud InDesign with some new feature that hasn't made it into the non-cloud release yet, can I save a file with the cloud version and open it with the non-cloud version?

Hi ,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
Yes you can open the files from recent version into 1 or in some cases 2 versions back by following the different workflows for each program
For example in In Design you can save the file as IDML and open in the previous version.
In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

I just purchased a license for LR 5 (received via reseller, DVD in Box) and wanted to use the serial on the downloaded LR5 version through Creative Cloud.
System sais "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If problem persists contact Customer support".
I have tried several times, without success. Internet connection is working.
Thanks for your help.

If you have a DVD version then you have to use the serial number that is associated with the DVD version. A Cloud subscription number has no relationship to a DVD serial number.

I received a notice that there is an update for my Lightroom 5. I have the non-creative cloud version. Is the update available for non-cloud users? It says to download click the link and it takes me to Cloud free trial screen.

It is the same installer. You can run it as 30-days trial (CC version) and decide later for CC or stand-alone. To license as stand-alone, follow this guide.
If you already have the LR6 license key, you can enter it during setup and do not need to follow the guide.

I have the latest Creative Cloud versions of Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile on my Ipad. On my desktop I have created a collection which I have put in a custom order. On my Ipad I go into that collection and set the order to custom order, which I presume means the order I have on my desktop. However, the photos on the Ipad seem to be just random photos from the collection THEN the rest of the collection is in the correct order after that.

Do you have virtual copies in your collection?
Could you please send send me a LR Desktop +Mobile diagnostig log - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link
You can trigger the Lr Desktop diagnostig log via LR Desktop preferences -> Lightroom Mobile and when you hold down the alt key you will notice a generate diagnostic log button.
The Lr Mobile app log can be triggered when you open up the settings and long press the to LR Icon a diagnostic log will be generated and attached to your local mail client. While opening the settings could you double check if you are signed-in?
Thanks

I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Where did you put the LR catalog?
Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
OS and version?
Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
Now try to start LR again.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 compatibility with latest versions?

Dreamweaver MX 2004 compatibility with latest versions?
I have templates in a old Dreamweaver MX 2004 and want to update my software. Will I need to go in steps to a version a few years back and then to current? Or can I go all the way to current?
I also can't get my old dreamweaver to register anymore and they have NO support for it. Any clues? It is legit an I have the registration numbers and all the same but it won't take it for some reason.
thank you all for any support you can give.

HTML is HTML. The product you use doesn't matter much except in terms of "ease of use" and quality of code it generates. MX is a dinosaur. Depending on how you built your sites with it, you may need to update your code to modern web standards. But your site's code will remain editable in any version of DW.
That said, a LOT has changed in 10 years. So if you don't have really strong coding skills in HTML and CSS, you will struggle with newer versions of DW. The interface is different, too, so it will take some adjustment.
CS6 is the only version you can still purchase.

Deployment of Adobe XI Pro Cloud and Adobe XI Pro Non-Cloud

Hello - If you have Acrobat XI Pro Cloud and Acrobat XI Pro Non-Cloud deployed in a large environment where both products were packaged with the Adobe Application packager at separate times, how does one systematically determine or report on which version is which (file version, registry path, exes, product ID, etc). As best I can tell they are literally exactly the same.
Here's the scenario, I am rolling out Adobe XI Pro Cloud globally to many computers, a good portion of our computers already have Adobe XI Pro non-cloud version. Typically I run a report on ProductID, RegistryKey, or FileVersion to isolate the correct product that needs to be deployed. In this case, they report exactly the same. What is the best mechanism to report on to separate the two?
Is there a file\folder\registry key that would exist only for an Adobe XI Pro Cloud-Edition installation?
(Note: most of these systems will also have the Cloud version of Illustrator & Photoshop installed, which needs to remain intact, looking for CC folders doesn’t indicate specifically which Acrobat version they have in that case)
Thank you,
Tony

Need a plugin to convert Raw files with CS 6 standalone version. 8.7.1 version of ACR is not compatible with CS 6 in non-cloud form.

We have a site license for CS6 for our company and for the past year have not been able to convert RAW files from our newer cameras using Adobe Camera Raw. We do not want to use the Cloud version as we work off laptops in the field and overseas and even our offices have only dial-up for internet access where we are located in Monterey.
Can anyone recommend a plugin raw converter so we can continue to batch process our files with CS 6?

The camera raw 8.7.1 plugin should work fine in the photoshop cs6 non cloud license version.
The only exceptions being if you have mac os x 10.6.8 or windows xp/vista, then 8.3 is the newest camera raw plugin that works.
Which operating system(s) do you have?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get the 8.7.1 camera raw plugin.
Here's an 8.7.1 camera raw plugin installer for photoshop cs6

Updates to the non-cloud version of dreamweaver cs6

I have the non cloud version of Adobe Dreamweaver cs6 version 12.0 Build 5861
Is there an update for this? I see that there are some for the cloud version. Are they only updating that, and the folks that bought the CD are out of luck?
Looking like maybe there was some phonegap updates that might be useful plus some other small issues I have might have been fixed?

The last patch/bug fix released for CS6 on perpetual license was 12.03 update which can be obtained from the link below:
https://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dwcs612712
That's all there is. No further updates are expected.

I have LR4 on my Mac with some 8,000 images on it. If I buy Creative Cloud, do I have to download LR5 to my desktop and the how do I then access those images or are they automatically imported?

there is no forced use of LR5 and your LR4 will remain in place and active. Should you decide to use LR5 it will try to,import your catalogs.

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems! I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way! So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE! That isn't including the other apps that have had issues! I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging! It is costing me more than just this monthly fee! And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues. Really Adobe?

My DVR security sofware that I access remotely uses a "dvr .ocx" file....when I try it in Firefox , either the latest non beta (3.6.1.5) or the new beta version (4.0 rc) it will NOT work as it says the plugin is missing... it works in IE 8,but not IE9...

My machine is Top of the range (my Company builds them so it had better be :) )
Amd 1100t , 8gb ram , Windows 7 64 bit etc, etc...
The is not a hardware problem , but a software problem with FF...Any help would be appreciated as I hate using IE 8 for anything at all :( but I have to keep it on my machines just to run my remote security cameras at my Computer shop ???
Original question...as question length is limited ...not very bright that limit by the way :(

As I own a Computer company I am fairly computer literate but cannot find a plugin that allows this to work in Firefox.... but I would have expected it to work in the new Firefox :(
All the best, Brett :)

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.
