Used LR5 trial version, purchased upgrade version, but don't have previous serial number

Hi guys,
Seems I have misunderstood the purchase and after my trial version expired I decided to buy the upgrade version (thought it would be the one as I already had there software downloaded and used as trial). Now I have purchased the upgrade software, but obviously I do not have the previous licence code!
How can I get it to work and pay the difference only? Or do I have to contact Adobe, cancel the upgrade version, wait for the refund and order afterwards the full version?
Thanks
Patrick

I think you have answered your own question. We are all just users like yourself. It seems that some people are getting confused about the upgrade version. The first time you purchase Lightroom you have to pay the full price. The trial version is actually the full version, it just has a time limiter on it. The upgrade version depends on a serial number from a previous version (i.e. Lightroom 3, Lightroom 4, etc.) as well as the serial number from the upgrade version to be activated. So it appears that you will have to negotiate with Adobe customer support to resolve your problem.

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

  • I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

    I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

    When you installed the Lightroom 5 on your MacBook, did it ask for both serial numbers. Since you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, you need both the serial number from your original purchase as well as the new serial number for Lightroom 5. If you have both of those numbers and they are still not being accepted then you will have to contact Adobe customer support for a solution.

  • I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

    i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

    There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
    You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
    Quit the CC Desktop application,
    Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
    LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

    Hi lisalhawkins,
    I checked with your account and it shows that you have purchased an annual subscription of Adobe ExportPDF online service. Right?
    ExportPDF service does not require a serial number to access it.
    All you need to do is sign in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID and password.
    Then, you can upload PDF files from your computer and convert them to other formats like Word, PowerPoint, etc.
    On completion, you can download the converted file on your computer and edit it for further use.
    Hope I am clear. Please let me know if you have further query on the same.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • I purchased Adobe Muse but I cannot find its serial number anywhere. Where should I look?

    I purchased Adobe Muse but I cannot find its serial number anywhere. Where should I look? I have a purchase number but I didn't receive any mails from Adobe.

    Hello,
    Muse CC does not need serial number for installation. You might be getting that prompt due to some network element blocking communication with Adobe servers.
    Please try the following:-
    1)If you are on a MAC:-
    Press Shift + Command + G(Else Finder, Go-->Go to folder) to open Go to folder.
    Type /etc and open the file called hosts.
    Check if you have any Adobe related entry in the file.
    If yes, please rename the file and check again.
    2)If you are on windows machine:-
    Go to the location:- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    Open 'hosts' file.
    Check if you have any Adobe related entry in the file.
    If yes, please rename the file and check again.
    Regards,

  • I bought a computer with Photoshop CS6 already installed, but I don't have the serial number - can I still transfer this software to a new computer?

    I currently have a MackBook with Photoshop CS6 installed. This came with the laptop when I bought it on eBay, therefore, I don't have the serial number for the software. Can I still transfer the Photoshop CS6 from this laptop onto a new one?
    Thanks
    Jack

    No.
    Whoever sold you the laptop should have removed the software first, or gone through the proper process to transfer the license to you. Chances are that they used it to obtain an upgrade, in which case it would not even to eligible to be transferred.

    If you turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad before it was stolen you can use the steps under "If Find My iPhone is enabled on your missing device" in the following link: If your iPhone, iPad, user iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
    If you had not turned on Find My iPad before it was lost, there isn't a way to locate it. There are some suggestions in the "If Find My iPhone isn't enabled" section near the bottom regarding changing passwords and other steps.

    Hello!
    I have buyed Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC and when I start the software, show me a trial modal. I don't have a serial number.
    I have only 9 days now, anyone can help me? Ah.. and sorry my english!
    Thank you.

    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • My disc is broken but i still have the serial number?...

    so I bought a wacom tablet a year ago that came with Photoshop elements 7.0? I still have the serial number and I was wondering how I could reinstall photoshop. I broke my disc on accident a little while ago and I got a brand new computer so yeah. Please help.

    We no longer have replacement media for older versions of the product.  The good news is that with your serial number you will qualify for the upgrade price for Photoshop Elements 10.
