Moving CS6 and Lightroom 4 to new computer

Is there a way to install upgrade versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 onto a newly purchased computer without having to reinstall all previous versions. I have been upgrading Photoshop since CS3 and Lightroom since Lightroom 2. What a pain if I have to reinstall all of that.

That's how I do it every time. The upgrades include the full code so they'll install the full software.
Launch the PS CS6 and LR4 upgrade installers, enter your upgrade serial number.
When the installer cannot find a qualifying earlier version on your hard drive it will ask for the serial number from an earlier version.
Enter your earlier version serial even if it's an upgrade serial number - for PS CS6 that'll be CS3 or CS4 or CS5. For LR it'll be any earlier version serial number.
The installation will then complete.

  • Deactivation . Crash hard drive. New computer. Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.7

    I have both desktop and laptop. Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on both. My desktop hard drive crashed and I can't deactivate both Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom 5.7 on the desktop. I believe I have 2 activations on both Photoshop and Lightroom. I need to deactivate both Photoshop and Lightroom to reinstall on new Desktop. I do not want to deactivate on the laptop. Remember the old desktop hard drive crash before deactivating. Help.

    If you have a subscription there should be no problem.  You should be able to install on two machines. If you try to activate a third machine I believe the activation server will deactivate all your activations.  Then activate the current machine. You can then re-activate one of you other machines.
    If you have a perpetual licence and have two activation you will need Adobe Customer Support to assist you.

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

  • I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
    Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
    Did you use this extension?
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
    If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
    If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

  • I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.

    I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.  Not sure what to do next.

    It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

  • I have moved my itunes to a  new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up

    i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.

    If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Select Music there.  This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs.  Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
    If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, create your selection of songs below.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes.  Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music.  Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content.  Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync.  So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity.

  • Do I need a 64 bit processor on my Mac Pro to run CS6 and Lightroom 4?

    I would like to install Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 4 on my 2008 Mac Pro but may not have the right processor to run it.  I know I will have to upgrade my OS X 10.5.8 to at least OS X 10.6.8.  The system requirements specify a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support.  I have a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.  Does this mean my Mac will not run this software at all or slowly at best?  Will I only be able to use this software if I buy a new computer?
    Here is what I have now:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro3,1
      Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          2
      Total Number Of Cores:          8
      L2 Cache (per processor):          12 MB
      Memory:          6 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.6 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MP31.006C.B05
      SMC Version (system):          1.25f4
      Serial Number (system):         
      Hardware UUID:          A120CDBF-0CB3-56FA-9AF2-16F2938C5F0D
    System Software Overview:
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 9.8.0
      Boot Volume:          Macintosh HD 320
      Boot Mode:          Normal

    Please see the tech specs for LR 4 : http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    LR 4 and CS 6 applications will not run on 10.5.8, you need atleast 10.6.8 to run these applications.

  • I moved by iTunes files to an external drive because I was changing computers. I then moved the files to the new computer. My iPod is not linking with the files on the computer.  What can I do?

    I moved my iTunes files from my old computer to an external hard drive.  I then moved those files to the new computer. My computer and iPad are not linking up (recognizing each other?).  I installed the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer to see if that would help.  It did not--I got the message that an iPad can only be linked up with one computer and the new download would not work with this iPod.  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPad.  What should I do to correct this?

    Sorry, I had a typo.  The last sentence should have read "iPod" (iPad):  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPod.  What should I do to correct this?

    Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

  • Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

    Hi
    I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
    Any good ?

    While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
    Here are some references:

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
    And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

  • Need assistance to update Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom to version 2014. Please help!

    Need assistance to update Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom  to version 2014.
    I have a Mac. I am not a member in Creative Cloud, invested big and bought CS6 and LR in the beginning of last year.
    Please help!

    These are not updates (just as CS6 was not an update to CS5), but upGRADES. They are available to CC (Creative Cloud) subscribers. While in the past you might have been able to pay for an upgrade (e.g. CS5 to CS6) you now have to subscribe. Once you are a subscriber you can upgrade to each new version as it comes along.
    As well as the full CC subscription there is a $10/mo plan with only Photoshop and Lightroom. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

  • Old computer died, can't activate Lightroom on new computer. Invalid serial number error.

    My old computer fried. Obviously, didn't deactivate Lightroom. Installed Lightroom on new computer but can't activate... getting invalid serial number error. Trying to get thru to Adobe is a joke. Help.

    Most likely, you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom which will not accept your serial number. You need to uninstall it, reboot, then download the standalone version of Lightroom and install that.

  • Upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4 issues...

    I bought both upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4.  I downloaded the upgrades on my MAC desktop computer.  Everything was fine.  When I searched for them in applicatins, it showed both CS5 and CS6 and the same for Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4.  Should I delete CS5 and Lightroom 3?  Thanks in advance. 

    Feel free to remove the older versions if you are reasonably sure you have migrated all your files and have no technical issues. Just make sure to run the proper uninstallers, not just trash the apps. Also be warned that you may need to reinstall LR4 and CS6 to fix broken file associations and shared components like Bridge...
