How to activate an old version of Lightroom?

I bought Creative cloud a few months ago and recently reset my computer. I downloaded an older version of Lightroom, because the latest version on the CC has slow down my computer. is there a way I can activate this version without having to purchase a new activation code?

There is no activation mechanism in older than 6 Lightroom versions.

If you mean you want to install Lightroom 5 or earlier then the only way to do this is with a serial number and the only way to get one is by buying a copy. However, Adobe sells more than 5 Lightroom you need to try a retailer like Amazon.

  • How to activate the trial version of lightroom 3

    Hello

    I'm new here and need help.

    I downloaded the trial version of lightroom 3 in my windows home computer and like it a lot. I then buy a copy of the box that will happen only after two weeks. However, I don't plan to install it on my computer at home, but my new imac computer at my desk where I do all my photo editing.

    My problem is that I can't wait two weeks to get the product. Can I download another version to test for my new imac in my office and when the box product comes from what I can simply use the serial number and activate the trial version or do I need to uninstall the trial version and reinstall again. According to my seller, she said I can't do that because I need to reinstall the box again product that seems weird to me.

    My other question is the earlier trial version I have installed in my home computer, I do not plan to use it more, so can I just ignore it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Importing photos updates information for each of them in the LR catalog, which is just a database that LR can read and write.  Reopening of the catalog with a new installation of LR looks like LR where each of these pictures is, and what adjustments you made.  You must re-import as long that you reopen the file catalog even with the new facility.  You can try this on Windows: uninstall-reinstall-reopen and see how it works at ease with her.   Simply re-import if you lose your catalog and have to start again.  If you write metadata in files, automatically via a preference, either manually via the menu point mode metadata and grid, then you can even have your intact adjustments if you need to import, but you will lose your history and other things that are only in the catalogue and not in sidecar XMP files.  These sidecar files is probably the only way to transfer the changes to the PC version for Mac from LR version which probably had not considered.  At least I don't think that you can copy the catalog LR from a PC file and open it on a Mac.

    If the LR trial expires before you have a serial number then you can't use it, but once you do not enter the serial number, you can pick up where you left off.

    Lightroom is not activated as Photoshop where there is a file Adobe-server from each computer and the serial number.  LR is just a non-proces, a trial has expired or recorded.  LR is intelligent enough to understand if you have installed it on the computer before, so you can't expand a trial in uninstalling and reinstalling without reformatting your hard drive and reinstall the operating system, or at least, I think that's enough.

  • How to activate a free version of Lightroom?

    With my digital camera Nx 300, I received a free copy of Lightroom (v 4). After the installation on my Mac mini, I wonder to enter the security code that was not in the beam. The only option is a 30 days trial period. How to work around this problem?

    Thank you!

    You probably have to talk to the guy who gave you the software to see what you need to do if it is really meant to be free and not only a trial version.

  • How can I delete an old version of Lightroom? I use Mountain Lion on Mac.

    Hello

    I upgrade to Lightroom 3 to 5 of Lightroom. It was no problem. My photos have been imported into Lightroom 5. But Lightroom 3 was not removed from my computer. How can I remove this old version in the right direction?

    I use Mountain Lion on Mac.

    Thank you

    I'm not a Mac user. But you remove Lightroom just as you would remove any other application from your system. If you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, it was probably know the serial number of your Lightroom 3. I suggest that you store that Lightroom 3 number somewhere, you will remember because it will be necessary if/when you decide to upgrade to a new version of Lightroom.

    And, just to clarify, there is no interdependence between your Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 3. They are independent applications.

  • How can I clean old versions of LR without affecting my LR6 installation?

    I have dozens of issues pertaining to the LR5.6 and 5.7 I want to delete.  What is the best way to remove ALL files and registry entries associated with these versions without hurting my LR6 installation?  Thank you!

    Gene W.

    If you have older versions of the program installed you can simply uninstall them using the standard uninstall process used by your operating system. 6 Lightroom creates new versions of your catalogs. If you know how to identify those that you use now, all the old catalogs can be deleted. When Lightroom 6 is installed, it creates a new copy of your previous catalog. The installation of 6 Lightroom is completely independent and does not rely on files program since previous versions. Lightroom 6 will continue to use the folder of excerpts from the previous version, but also any intelligent insights which you have generated. So all you need to do is to uninstall older versions of Lightroom and then remove older versions of the files catalog you used. It might be a good idea to keep a backup, probably the most recent, just in case you have a problem of catalog in the future.
