Reinstalled Lightroom 4 but how do I use it?

Hello,
I bought Adobe Lightroom 4 in 2012, installed it, and used it.  However, I reformatted my hard drive and installed Windows 8.1.  I opened my Adobe account, accessed my order, and downloaded Lightroom 4.  After the installation I tried to open it and all I get is an option to "licence" it or "try" it for 30 days.
Why can't I use Lightroom 4 like I used to.  I bought and paid for it before any mentioning of licensing?
Thanks.
Carmichael

When you installed it in 2012 you would have had to enter the licence key, on the pack if you bought a disk.  That's the licence number you need to enter. 
If you registered the purchase, then log on you your Adobe account, and it will show you purchases and licence key numbers.  When you're logged in, top right it shows your Adobe ID name, and if you hover over it select "My products and services".  When it gives the list of products you've purchased, click the relevant one and it shows you the licence key.

    You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
    You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

  • I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and then reinstall it, but how do I save my book marks?

    I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and then reinstall it, but I don't want to lose all of my bookmarks. The actual problem is a persona that won't stay changed. We change it, but every time we close Firefox it goes back to the Persona we changed it from when we start up Firefox again. I was just planning on uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but, like I said, I don't want to lose my bookmarks. How do I save my bookmarks in Firefox 4?

    You could always remove/disable the Persona that you don't want. Go to Add-ons > Appearance, and then just disable/remove the offending Persona.
    Though, if you really want to save your bookmarks:
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Which will open the Library > Look for Import and Backup > Backup...> and it will prompt to you save the file somewhere. To add them back into Firefox, go back to the library > Import and Backup again > Restore > Choose File... > and then open the file you saved earlier.

  • I bought an album from iTunes with ringtones and text message tones but how do I use them on the iPhone

    I bought an album from iTunes containing text and ringtones but I cannot access them in the iPhone settings. How can I use them for individual family and friends?

    Delete the current copies and then download again (free) from your purchased history. If the problem persists contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

  • HT201209 I have redeemed my gift but how do I use it?

    Hey, I got a £25 gift card for my birthday, I redeemed the code the other day.
    How do I use it to purchase songs etc?
    Because when I've tried to buy a song it is asking me to confirm my payment details of my debit card but I do not want to use this, I want to use my gift card.
    I hope you can help.
    Thank you!

    Hello there, Emmalou85.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up a great explanation of how iTunes purchases are billed:
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    Order of iTunes billing methods
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
    Free song credits are redeemed first.
    If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
    If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
    When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
    Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
    If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.
    Additionally, this article offers up how to see what your current Credit Balance is:

  • I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but how do I save my bookmarks?

    I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but when I went to do that it erased all of my bookmarks so I did a system restore. How do I save my bookmarks?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    I own lightroom 5.4 and I have a license.  How can i use lightroom mobile?
    Do I have to pay for CC for this feature?
    Thanks Brian

    One additional Note. One of the things you can do is to try Lightroom mobile free for 30 days.

  • Before downloading lion, i want to backup my computer with time machine and a G-DRIVE Slim.  But how can i use time machine to only backup my system once?

    Just wondering, how can i use time machine to only backup my system once? Just this once and not on a weekly basis?

    Upgrade. My three year old Mac Pro and year old MacBook Pro have no problem. Both seem faster.
    And there's your problem reading entirely subjective views on forums, from people that might or might not have decently maintained systems, good operating practices, or whatever.... 
    Strangely, when most companies issue new software, it is because they believe (and believe they have checked) that it is better than the previous version.

  • Firefox 13 is unusable hanging/non-responsive. I've downgraded flash, uninstalled plugins & un/reinstalled Firefox but I can't use it to try other possibl fixes

    Since updating to Firefox 13 it not only runs slow but hangs and becomes non-responsive on all different websites. I was told that the most recent Flash update was known to be incompatible with Ffx 13, so down-dated Flash and uninstalled non-essential plugins - which definitely helped, but has not fixed the problem.
    I haven't even been able to try the other potential fixes I've found on the Support site (adding into my computer's safe settings in case of firewall issue or creating a new profile) because Firefox won't work long enough for me to access them. At this point, shouldn't I just down-date to the last version of Firefox??

    All of a sudden firefox has become unstable - its hanging on the NYTIMEs website. I've done done everything - uninstalled, reinstalled, removed all add-ons, used default themes, reset firefox. Some serious problem here - I had to switch back to IE9. (Version 16.0.1 Firefox running under Windows 7)
    Oh by the way, I'm having the same problem on different computers all of which are running the latest firefox under Windows 7

  • HT202359 I have redeemed a gift card but how can I use the credits that I gained?

    I have redeemed a gift card and gained 5 song credits. When I try and buy songs, iTunes takes me through to the ''redeem'' page but when I try and enter the gift code, it just opens up a window that says this code has already been redeemed. How can I actually use the credits to buy songs? There doesn't seem to be an option to use ''credits''... Thanks.

    What exactly do you see when trying to buy a song, what messages appear ? You can't change how items are billed, it's automatic, as long as you are buying for yourself  then your account's balance should be used for the purchase, it's only if gifting (which can only be done via a credit card) or if your balance doesn't cover the entire purchase price that credit card details should be asked for - or if it's a new account and you didn't follow particular steps when creating the account. (A gift card can only be redeemed once, you can't re-enter its code.)

  • Barry installed but how to start/use???

    Hello!
    Yesterday, I installed the package barry from the AUR, including the necessary dependencies.
    After input of yaourt -S barry the following was read in the pacman.log:
    [2011-04-27 19:10] Running 'pacman -S --asdeps --needed extra/libglademm community/libtar'
    [2011-04-27 19:10] installed libglademm (2.6.7-1)
    [2011-04-27 19:10] installed libtar (1.2.11-2)

    [2011-04-27 19:19] installed barry (0.17.1-0)
    In my opinion, compiling and installing itself took a relatively long time. But so be it!
    Then comes the disappointment: How the hell I can start the "BlackBerry-Desktop-Manager-Substitute"?
    No entry is to be found in the Gnome main menu and the Bash reports: command not found.
    No errors were issued during the installation, so what's wrong?

    ngoonee wrote:Look for the command which lists down what files belong in a package. Use that and search for something in /usr/bin, that's what you need to run.

  • I'm sorry, you probably get a lot of questions similar to this, but how do I use my 09 27" iMac as an external 1440p monitor for a PC in TDM?

    Hello all,
    Firstly, let me apologise. You probably see a lot of these questions. However, I've had a look through and I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem.
    I have an '09 27" iMac which I use for the creative side of my life. (I'm training to be an architect.) However I'm also really into gaming, and so I've just bought a brand new PC. The GPU is a GeForce GTX 780 Ti with two DVI, an HDMI and a DisplayPort output. My iMac has a Mini DisplayPort jack.
    I'm basically wondering if there's any way of using the iMac as a 1440p monitor for this new PC. I tried connecting the PC to the iMac with an HDMI cable using an HDMI to MDP adapter and hitting cmd+f2 on the iMac to initiate Target Display Mode, but that hasn't worked. I'm now thinking of buying an HDMI to MDP direct cable to see if that works but I'm also wondering if a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable might work too? I was under the impression that the 780 Ti had a MDP output but the version of mine only has the outputs listed above.
    Is any of this even possible? I've heard reports in the past of people having success with MDP to MDP from PC to iMac but of course I can't do that. Am I wasting my time and money here?
    At present I'm using my 37" HDTV as a monitor on my desk but as you can imagine, it's far too big to use in the long run! It's annoying because the 780 Ti is capable of running max settings easiliy in 1440p and having to downgrade from the iMac to a 1080p HDTV is disheartening.
    Any help would be very greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    Westy

    I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.
