5 Lightroom on a new computer installation
I tried to install 5 Lightroom on my new Macbook. When I try to open it, it says Lightroom catalog called "Lightroom Catalog" cannot be opened because it is too new to be used by this version of lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?
I don't know what to do.
Lightroom catalogs are not backward compatible.
You must at some point have had 6 version or installed CC.
The catalog that you are trying to open was created in Lightroom 6 or CC and cannot be opened in version 5.

Lightroom on a new computer - how to move photos from the LR I have on another computer
I have Lightroom 5 installed on my laptop but now a new desktop computer. I plan to do the creative cloud because I would have access to Photoshop, but wonder if there is a way to transfer my photos from my old computer LR in the new. Or if I have to buy LR still to have it on my new computer, first place. Advice please? Thank you!
Licensed Lightroom, whether it's a stand-alone license, or a creative cloud license allows you to install Lightroom on two different computers for your personal use. You can install Lightroom on the new computer, and then follow the instructions on how to move or copy the files to your current computer.
How can I move Lightroom to a new computer? Lightroom Queen
Each installation of Lightroom should have its own local catalog on a local drive on this computer. Some people use dropbox for the catalog so that it can be used on both computers. There are a lot of considerations when you try to work with different computers. But it can be done.

Open lightroom on a new computer
I'm buying a new Mac, but send in my old first (to get a discount from apple). I want to be able to access Lightroom on the new computer. Is it just a matter of signing in my cloud creative on the new adobe? Or is it more than that?
You should Sign Out on the former before cleaning the disc and send it.
So yes just install the CC, Sign In desktop app and install your programs CC.

I installed lightroom on a new computer (windows 10) cc. I copied all of my original photos on a hard drive and them imported by adding them on the new computer using the import function. I have a catalog to date backed on thehard drive and have tried to insert into the new folder to lightroom. Unfortunately none of my changes, collections etc. seem to be present on the new computer. I still work lightroom with any changes on the old computer where all the photos. Help
He seemed to have solved this problem - the catalogue of the old computer has been saved as a zip file. Once extracted, it could be used as the primary catalog for lightroom on the new computer

my new macbook pro was stolen. I had to buy a new computer and I need to re - install lightroom. is there a way for adobe to allow me to install lightroom on my new computer without having to buy it?
Thank you.
You probably have the trial installed creative Cloud version (this version cannot be activated with the perpetual license key). Uninstall the one currently on your computer this will not affect your existing catalog, preferences and other personal files. Then download LR 5.6 from the link below, install that insert your serial number and it should work fine.

Download Lightroom on a new computer?
I bought an older version of Lightroom on my now crushed macbook pro. I just upgraded to a new mac and want to download Lightroom. When I sign into Adobe, however, the only option I seem to find is to re-purchase of Lightroom. There is no information when I consult my account profile, etc... so I'm at a loss for installation on my new system. Any ideas?
Which version you want to download? Lightroom 4, 5 and 6 are here: Photoshop Lightroom Installerand you should be able to install using your existing serial number (assuming that your new computer is compatible).

Impossible to download lightroom on my new computer
I bought 5 Lightroom online in 2013. I got a new computer and I'm trying to download it on my new computer, I've logged into my account and got the serial number. But it keeps asking me for the original serial number not a upgrade serial number that is the serial number only my account gives me please help.
your lr 5 is an upgrade from a previous version.
After you have started your lr 5 installation you will be asked for the serial number lr 5. After entering it (and not to find an eligible upgrade installed), you will be asked to select the upgrade of qualification (IE, version previous lr) in the menu dropdown.
After selecting this version, you will be asked for his (the previous version) serial number.
Enter the correct number at the right time, and the installation is complete.
