Reinstalling Lightroom 3

I recently had issues with my MacBook Pro hard drive and I had to have it replaced with a new one.  I had Lightroom 3 installed on there which was wiped out along with everything else.  How do I get the license reissued and reinstalled on my computer again?  I do have the serial number, but I don't have access to the original disc I used to install it. 

While we only include the option to download a trial of the current version of any of our links, the following link includes information for an alternate means of downloading trials, including older versions.

  • My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years

    My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years and I can't recall how.

    If you had stored your catalog files on an external drive, then all you have to do is double-click on them to open them and use them.
    Or you could move them to the internal drive and double-click on them once the move is completed.
    To create a single catalog file from multiple ones, you could use File->Import from Another Catalog

  • How do I reinstall Lightroom and safely import library and preview data from an older computer?

    Since buying a new MacBook Pro back in February 2014, I have had non-stop issues using Lightroom.  This is particularly frustrating considering I bought a new laptop specifically to improve my experience with Lightroom.  The experience thus far has been anything but.  The program freezes every time I try and 'right click' on an item, which means I have no way of reconnecting files or folders that are on external hard drives.  It also crashes regularly when I try and open the program.  I believe this may have something to do with how I moved files over from one computer to another.  I have a growing suspicion that my libraries are corrupt.
    It's now been 6 months, and I've uploaded quite a few new folders since then.  However, I am ready to give all the last 6 months work away and start with a 2013 backup to ensure Lightroom runs smoothly.  I've moved all current library information onto an external hard drive, and deleted the folder from my laptop.  I've also tried to delete and reinstall Lightroom, but the program immediately crashes when I try to start it up again.
    All this is to say I need some serious help getting Lightroom back up and running on my laptop, pulling in old data from my other laptop properly and bringing Lightroom back up to life on my new laptop.  Any assistance or hand holding would be immeasurably appreciated.

    It should work.  Make sure you are installing the same version.  If you continue to have a problem try contacting Adobe Support thru chat:

  • Should I reinstall Lightroom and if so, how do I not lose my work?

    I have Windows 8 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on my desktop.  Every since I did the last update, Lightroom has been acting really weird. I often get a "Lightroom Not Responding"  message, or it will take for ever to do something like move from library to develop module.  I have been going through and deleting files and have moved folders with in Lightroom, but I would think that should not be an issue. This has been going on for about a month now after the last update.  Yesterday I moved my pictures from my desktop to an external drive through lightroom and then did a catalog backup..  Later in the day after a photo shoot, I tried to import pictures, to that external drive and it just stopped in the middle of the process.  I checked to see if the pictures were in the designated folder and they were.  So I closed Lightroom and opened it again 6 pictures had a white box with lines through them taking up the bottom quarter of the picture.  If I look at these pictures through another program, they appear fine.  Should I reinstall Lightroom? If so, how do I save my work?  Could my catalog (which I have backed up) be corrupt?
    I have more work to be done, but I don't want to proceed if I am working with an unstable program.

    Uninstalling LR does not delete the catalog which is in an entirely different place, not the Programs folder. I am not saying that removing and reinstalling LR will solve your problem, but you don't need to worry about losing your work. If you reinstall, the first time you launch LR it may create a new empty catalog. Just use File/Open Recent to open your old catalog.

  • How to reinstall lightroom 4 after hard drive crash

    My hard drive recently crashed and I have an all new one now.  My comp is running Mavericks and I need to reinstall Lightroom 4 (that was the latest version I was using, and I downloaded it, no cd).  How do I reinstall it??  When I go to "My Orders," the download option is not available.

    I believe this might of worked after all. I did like you said and double clicked on the My Catalog file. PSA and it just put in the timeline and dates on the pictures but had a ? mark and no picture. I then chose to dowload files from the My pictures folder that the downloader was directed to for each download. It seems to restoring the photo's and putting them with the tags and all. I am so relieved because I had 37,500 pictures that would of been untagged and out of order. I learned my lesson to do a backup more frequently! Thanks for your help. If I would want to update to PSE 9 is it compatible with windows XP?

    It's cack - but then, I've never been a fan of images that look like the subject matter has just been hit by a nuclear detonation, and I've never aspired to "one click and done".
    It used to come with Bibble/Aftershot Pro, and in all the years I used those converters, I didn't find a use for Perfectly Clear once. Admittedly they've expanded its function considerably since, but it's still a gimmicky "everything boosted to eleven" gadget.
    Put it this way: Ken Rockwell's a fan!
    All that said, it's probably better than Lr's "auto" functions. I suppose if you believe that a piece of software can guess what's best for an image better than what you can arrive at by using your own eyes, it might have merit, but "gimmick" sums it up for me.

  • I am running OS X Yosemite on my four year old MacBook Pro which has become progressively slower and is loaded with applications I no longer use. I plan to start afresh by formatting a new 1TB SSD as a boot disk and reinstalling Lightroom 5 and PhotoShop

    I am running OS X Yosemite on my four year old MacBook Pro which has become progressively slower and is loaded with applications I no longer use. I plan to start afresh by formatting a new 1TB SSD as a boot disk and reinstalling Lightroom 5 and PhotoShop CC.
    Is there a list of the files and/or folders that contain Settings and Preferences which can be copied from the old system to the new?

    with your cc apps you should try to use the sync feature.  that's never worked consistently for me, but when it does work, it's helpful.
    there are preference folders and presets and settings that you could copy but you're better off installing fresh because a common problem for people with adobe program issues is a settings issue.

  • My hard drive died, so I need a new serial number to reinstall Lightroom.

    Hello,
    My hard drive died, so I need a new serial number to reinstall Lightroom. How do I go about having another serial number emailed to me?
    Thanks!

    if you have your serial number then all you need to do is download the Lightroom installer and install the program. Use your existing serial number. If you don't have your serial number, but registered Lightroom with Adobe then you can login to your Adobe account and get the serial number.

  • How do I reinstall lightroom?

    I get 'error changing modules" so a recommendation in faq was to uninstall and reinstall.  I have uninstall but cannot reinstall.
    How do I reinstall Lightroom  cc.
    Thanks

    Exact same issue, with a Mac. Was getting the error changing modules error in LR5. So I decided to uninstall the app - by dragging the app from the Applications folder into the Trash, then emptying the Trash, as is the procedure for uninstall in a mac. CC still says it is installed, even after restarting, signing in and out of CC, etc. It must be looking at a log file somewhere instead of for the actual app.
    Please respond if you can explan what is happening. In the meantime, I am going to search Adobe for the CC Cleaner, for Mac.
    Thanks, dan
