Can't upgrade to LR6 LR5 - what can I do?

I used LR 5 two years with great pleasure and wanted to upgrade to 6. I paid for and downloaded the upgrade, but have now failed three times to install it. Each time, even if I follow the instructions I have received, I find myself in the creative cloud, which I don't want. Now, months of delay of the trial, I can't yet use it properly, and when I try to go back to LR5, for some reason, I am always sent to my useless LR6. What I think I do is uninstall everything and start over (aargh!) or turn my back on LR completely - I don't really want to do. Meanwhile, I also found that there is no sign on the site of Adobe my LR5 having been recorded, which is clearly impossible. Is it possible to get an aso LR6 disc that I can download that?

When you first install LR 6, it will look like the creative cloud because the software is identical. When you apply your serial number, then it becomes 6 LR, LR 6 functions only and with no creative cloud features. See How to convert a trial of Lightroom Lightroom 6 CC

    I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

    I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

    You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

    Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

  • upgraded p4 to i7 what process which parts are changed

    Probably all the parts of your computer, except for (perhaps) the hard drive and CD/DVD drive.
     
    You will need a new motherboard and since then, it is likely that either everything is integrated with your current motherboard (audio, video, network, etc) or did not fit into the new motherboard (different requirements) - you need to replace it.  So your new processor would mean a new motherboard, new video card, the new card network, the new audio card, new memory and it probably all must be powered by a new power supply that probably wouldn't fit in your current computer case.
     
    The hard disk and CD/DVD CAN work in the new system - if the motherboard will accept what hard training as well as the connections for the CD/DVD drive.  You will probably need to format completely or at least perform a repair installation (since it's Windows XP.)
     
    The last thing it depends of course - if Windows XP came pre-installed on the current computer. If so - you will need to purchase a new license for Windows XP (which is difficult, at best) to do your own installation.
     
    Suggestion: Find a (renovated) Off-lease computer for sale from a reputable dealer with Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 ultimate online and buy it.  That will cost you less, give you a better machine, and you can use the free Windows XP mode to run older programs which will be not (rare) works on Windows 7 directly or using other tricks of compatibility.

    My Pavilion dv6 upgraded to windows 10 what happened to my external screen does not

    Hi @Jake08,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and questions with external screen works not properly. You can try this without the connected external monitor.

    In Device Manager, click the arrow next to display adapters to expand this category
    Right-click on the graph, and then select Update driver software if more than 1 graphic adapter do 1 at a time.
    Select search automatically for updated driver software.

    The laptop must find and automatically install the updated driver
    Once the installation is complete, restart your laptop.

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • License: upgrade to LR3-> LR5

    Hello

    If LR5 is available and I have a upgrade to LR3-> LR5, am I allowed to use the LR4 also?

    Best regards

    nehonimo

    Your LR 3 license is good for LR 3. Your LR 5 license would be good for LR 5 as long as you have a valid previous version (LR3).  Wouldn't work for LR4. So the answer is, you can use LR4 for thirty days as a test and then you will need to provide a valid key of LR4 to continue using it.

  • I'm trying to export a package layout custom in jpeg format of 3 photos that have been edited and arranged on a single printed page.  This was possible on LR4, but I just upgraded to LR6 and don't see how to do it?

    It is still available in LR 6.  Exactly what did you do that you don't?  You may be using the wrong wording.  This is not a function of export; It's a "print to: JPEG File" in the print Module

  • Versatile to validate S/N upgrade of the LR5 LR6

    I have installed on my Mac LR5. I bought an update of license Office for LR6; I downloaded the program and launched the installation. When you are prompted to S/N, I entered a new provided by Adobe at the time of my purchase, but he tells me that it cannot be validated.

    I checked several times I did not mistake, even copy - paste, but still message. What should I do?

    If there is a problem to upgrade and I need to buy a new one like new, can I pay only the difference? How do I do?

    Thank you

    What messages are getting you - a screenshot will be better than a summary of what they say.

    Normally, when you install an upgrade that you eventually enter two serial... numbers the new product and product you are upgrading.

    Also, are you sure that you have purchased the license of right for the platform you are trying to install on?  A Windows license won't work for Mac installation when it comes to Lightroom 6.

  • Upgrade of the LR5 LR6 refuses to validate the serial number LR6.

    Hi I am trying to install LR6 update downloaded from Adobe.com. I installed LR5, but the serial number LR6 refuses to validate. What can I do?

    It may be necessary to empty the hosts file. He gets sometimes dotted with additional ip address break subsequent attempts to activation and they should all be deleted.

    What a Hosts file looks like normally.

    Windows

    Click Start > run, type % systemroot % \system32\drivers\etc and then press ENTER.

    Right-click on the hosts file, and then select open. Select the application Notepad open the hosts file.

    Save the hosts file: Choose file > save as, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.

    Look for the original hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and remove these entries.

    Save and close to overwrite the file.

    Mac OS x

    Log in as an administrator to change the hosts file in Mac OS.

    In a window of Finder, select go > go to folder.

    Type/etc

    Select the hosts file and open it.

    Save the hosts file: Choose file > save as, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.

    Look for the original hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and remove these entries.

    Save and close to overwrite the file.

    NB. you may need to temporarily turn off security software to change your hosts file.
