Upgrading from Lightroom Trial to Creative Cloud

I've searched in the forums but didn't find the answer: I had an expired trial version of Lightroom on my computer. I have a creative cloud account and want to use LR now using that.  In my CC install manager I can see that LR5 is updated, but when I try to open the program it asks me a serial number. Is there a solution or should I uninstall LR, download and reinstall it?

And if the Creative Cloud version isn’t listed in the CC Desktop app after you uninstall the non-CC version, then log out of the CC Desktop app, via its Preferences (Gear) / Accounts area, then reboot, then log back in.  This forces the CC Desktop to rescan what is and isn’t installed.

  • Lightroom Upgrade From LR 4 to 'Creative Cloud' LR version 5

    I already have LR 4 installed. I also have a Creative Cloud membership paid monthly for PS & PP. I now want to upgrade my standalone LR4 to LR5 but within Creaative Cloud but there does not seem to be a way to achieve this. The page on Creative Clod instructs to download free trial (which I have done) but now that has expired and cannot go to the purchase section within the Creative Cloud Suite? When I try it just tells me to dowmload free trial again. Within LR 5 trial which has expired the only option I have is 'buy'  but HOW do you buy within Creative Cloud? Thank you

    You can upgrade to Lightroom 6, from any pervious version of Lightroom, for a one off price of $79.  A link to the relevant page on their website is below.
    (if you click buy Lightoom 6, it gives the option to either purchase the full or upgrade version, in a submenu).

  • Lightroom trial without Creative Cloud app

    Hi all,
    I'm considering Lightroom and I'd like to download the trial version. My machine is getting a bit old (2011 MacBook Pro), so a "try before you buy" seems like a good idea.
    However, I don't really feel like installing the Creative Cloud app just for the trial as I'm only interested in the standalone version of Lightroom.
    Does anyone know where I can download a trial version of Lightroom?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Andra

    Thanks, but unfortunately clicking on the "Photoshop Lightroom 6" link on the page you recommended leads me to the product page for Lightroom 6 (http://www.adobe.com/nl/products/photoshop-lightroom.html). Clicking "Download" on that page downloads the installer for the Creative Cloud App, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

  • Upgrade from photoshop cc to creative cloud

    Hi!
    Please, i wanted to know that:
    What happens if I buy photoshop cc for 12 months but then reside to upgrade to creative cloud before the expiration of the photoshop's 12 months?
    Will I continue to pay them separately, or I will continue pay for creating cloud only which contains photoshop anyway?
    My plan is to learn photoshop very well before I move to premiere and after effects.
    So I don't want to pay the subscription furor the creative cloud from the beginning but only after I have mastered photoshop.
    Thank you!

    You can upgrade your Single App subscription to full Cloud at any time and you'll only be paying one (higher) monthly fee.

  • Lightroom trial and creative cloud account

    Hello friends,
    I have a LR4 trial that has expired. When I downloaded the trial I had a good feeling I would buy so I spent a fair amount of time organizing photos to use LR as well as get some editing done. Of coarse I loved LR and decided to buy the creative cloud membership. Problem is of coarse my 30 day trail has expired. The only way to license LR now is with a serial number. My understanding is that Creative Cloud doesnt give serials.
    Is there a way to keep my LR as installed and activate a license with creative cloud. If not what would be the most pain free way to download it again through the Creative Cloud interface and keep everything as it is now in LR.
    It may be important to note that I cant access LR, as soon as I open the program it prompts me for a S#
    Thanks guys and gals,
    Dale

    Hey Dale,
    When you have a paid Creative Cloud membership Lightroom will appear in the Adobe Application Manager. If you choose the option to install Lightroom with an expired Lightroom trial currrently installed it will just update that installation so it is licensed as part of Creative Cloud. Any catalogs or work you did with the trial will still be available and it will no longer prompt you to enter a serial number.
    This FAQ might be helpful if you had further question too:

  • How to transfer my Lightroom Trial to Creative Cloud?

    I know that I cannot transfer the actual program but it says that Lightroom is up to date on my desktop app. Will I have to completely uninstall Lightroom free trial in order to download the CC version? If so, how do I go about saving all my edited work and transferring the smart collections? Is that even possible?

    CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when they are not

  • Upgrade from CS3 standard to Creative Cloud for companies in Romania

    I have three licences of CS3 Standard, registered for my company in Romania. I found a special offer on Adobe site for switching to creative cloud. I applied with my Adobe ID to see if I qualify and I got a positive answer. (Congratualtions you qualify). Anyway, a Romanian Adobe dealer I was talking to, said that this option is not available in Romania for companies. I really need an official answer since i don't want to have legal problems.
    I wanted to attach some print screens but i couldn't.

    Not sure what the account is with the gallery of photos on so hard to say.
    You certainly won't lose anything you currently have edited with LR3.  When you first open your old LR3 catalogue with the new version you'll be asked to upgrade the catalogue so it's compatible with LR5 but you'll still have the old catalogue too should you wish to go back to LR3.
    The CC licence allows you to have the software on two devices. Unless the tablet is an iPad in which case you can also LR Mobile on it as part of the Photographer's CC package too.  You can't use the full versions of LR on three platforms on one CC licence though, no.

    I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?

    When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

  • What's the correct procedure to upgrade from Lightroom 5.7 to Lightroom 6? My Creative Cloud app still reports Lightoom as being "Up to date"

    If I choose "Check for updates" from the Help menu within Lightroom 5.7 I get the message that an upgrade is indeed available. If I click the "Download" button from here I get sent to a web page with this message… "To update to the latest version of Lightroom for use with your Creative Cloud membership, please quit Lightroom, launch the Creative Cloud app, and click the "Install" button next to Lightroom 5" Well there is no "Install" button next to Lightroom 5 because Creative Cloud app reports that Lightroom is "Up to date"

    I don't know for sure, but I imagine it has to do with Adobe's method of gradually notifying people of the upgrade to keep their servers from getting flooded. If all the hundreds of thousands of accounts where constantly checking to see if new programs where available every minute of every day, that would be some serious overhead. They probably do something like "check once daily at midnight to see if new versions of PS, LR, IL, DW, etc are available and notify the user".

  • I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

    I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

    The standalone version and the CC version are both the same exact program, but the licensing is completely different. It will be necessary for you to uninstall the creative cloud trial version and then install the one you purchased from Amazon. After you install, you will be able to open the same catalog and continue from where you were.

  • Sharing Lightroom photos in Creative Cloud

    I am trying to find tutorials on how I can share Lightroom photos in Creative Cloud. We make client presentations on a tablet so I would like to be able to log in to my cloud account to show clients photos of ideas that correlate with their design/sales presentation. Can I create a collection in Lightroom and have that synched to Creative Cloud? Any other suggetsions on how to make this work?

    Victoria, you're absolutely right about the post.
    However, Adobe should make some sort of overture to people who have bought into the Creative Cloud and want to have LR4 as well. After all, they announced that it is coming SOON. That leaves people like me out on a limb not knowing where to turn. Should I spend the money (waste is the proper word!) to upgrade from version 3 or should I just let the trial version expire and wait until they finally added to CC. Adobe should give their customers a little guidance!

  • With my CC subscription should I be be gettibng upgraded from lightroom 5 to CC ?

    with my CC subscription should I be be gettibng upgraded from lightroom 5 to CC ?

    Yes. Have you checked in your CC Desktop app to see if Lightroom CC is available for Install (and Photoshop should be showing Update). If it's not showing, sign-out of the app and sign back in again. Don't use quit and restart, that's not the procedure. See here: Sign in, Sign out | Creative Cloud desktop app
