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.
