I have a download version of Lightroom 4.4 on my old computer and want to remove it and load it on my new computer. I can't find a prompt to unregister in the Help menu. And how to download this version again?
Unlike almost all other Adobe applications, there is no option of deactivate for former Lightroom products - they were not that way so just go and install it on another machine and use the serial number, you have for her.

I can't get through the process ID or change password or by opening a new account. I have only 1 e-mail address. How can I get an account that works?
This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.
If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt. If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.
If you are still puzzled, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

I have an old PC which worked fine with Windows XP on it. I wanted to continue to consider using it with Windows 7 (instead of buying a new machine).
So my friend gave me a copy of the version of Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM) to try to see if the machine was worth keeping (i.e. good performance with my critical apps loaded on this subject). Using this version, I was able to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 using a clean installation. I have re-installed critical applications to check performance with the new operating system. I was impressed (and happy) so I decided to purchase a licensed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I finally found a great offer and bought a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (Full/Retail - not OEM) with the required activation key via the Internet (to be delivered next week).
My question is: since I now have the version of Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM) already installed on my machine, I will have to perform another clean installation when my Windows 7 Ultimate retail version coming? I would really not all over again. I would like to simply enter the Activation Code of the version of Windows 7 Ultimate (Full-detail) when it arrives. What is the best way to reach my goal?

Can I re-use a retail version of Windows 7
Hello
Can I use a version of Windows 7 on another machine when I replaced on my main PC with a new version of Windows 8 retail?
Thank you very much
What about upgrading the software?
The software covered by this Convention is an upgrade of your existing operating system software, upgrade replaces the original software that you upgrade. You keep any rights to the original software once you have upgraded and you can not continue to use or transfer in any way.
Need to buy a license for version complete for Windows 8 in order to stay in compliance, so that you can transfer the Windows 7 upgrade elsewhere.

Hello
The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures
-Run as administrator command line
-Enter the following commandslmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
-Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.

If you have any general questions about reinstalling Windows , please see this site:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-WindowsInstallation - 'upgrade' means what?
Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:Back up any files and settings you want to keep
Install Windows 7
Reinstall all your files
Reinstall all the programs you want to use.
These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

Hello! I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I subscribed plan creative mgoe (CC 2015 Photoshop and Lightroom). Unfortunately when I try to use photoshop there is a ram (out of memory) error. I have a 8 giga of ram, and I have already raised the photoshop preference range.
It seems that the installation of a 32-bit version of Windows is your mistake. This limits each app to not more than 2-3 gigabytes, no matter how much RAM you install.

What is the best version of Windows 7 Ultimate to buy?
I have another question: I'm looking for all versions of Windows 7 Ultimate edition (I'm addicted to this software), but it is quite confusing to know which one is the best for what I'm doing or simply, what is the best in general. Some mention a GLC as the MFN (?), some say that it is an OEM some just call it a retail version full version which has SP1. I had 3 different versions of Ultimate on my laptop (I can't say which ones, but they reacted differently) where all turns be fake/false, (very, very bad luck) so before we get through all this again with the re * loading the software, I want to make a decision because on who is who. It's just hard to say which is best. I really put my laptop to his test for everything. I have about 3ooo images, so I do a lot with photography, play the games, many commuunications & helping with my husband's company. It is therefore a very wide varitey of uses.
Thanks for all your help, it is greatly appreciated! JD
P.S. I definatley want to Windows 7 Ultimate.
You don't need the final version to accomplish the tasks listed. Family Premium would do the job very well and you would save $$$.
What you get, do NOT buy on auctions, Amazon or classifieds sites.
Back, save, copy all your important stuff on a disk external hard and then start again with your newly acquired operating system...
