upgrade of the LR5 to LR CC

can I upgrade the LR5 LR CC without losing my existing catalog and changes?

Yes. When you first launch Lightroom CC 2015, it should recognize your old catalog, ask if you want to update (click on upgrade) and that's all there is to it.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 6 (not CC) does not start after the upgrade of the LR5

    Hi, first of all, I don't use CC.

    I upgraded my copy of Lightroom 5.7 last week and used LR6 for about 2 days before this problem started. I opened LR6, the splash screen appears and nothing else happens. The Task Manager shows LR6 does not, and no amount of lift tasks or reboots gets my open catalog.

    I uninstalled LR6, then reinstalled. It seemed to work, but only the first time I opened my catalog. I tried again, the upgrade of my old catalog again, but the same problem. It's been a week later, I'm still not able to use LR6 and would like to know what the problem is. I have no intention to move towards CC either.

    I'm on PC, i5, 8 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GTX 660 video card. I moved my catalog of a second disc on my c:. My photos are on a third internal drive.

    I've never had a problem with previous versions of Lightroom like this before. In addition, my cpu is overclocked to 3.4 GHz to about 4 GHz. I have normally no crashes or programs not responding.

    can anyone help?

    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Upgrade of the LR5 at 6, it's now on acid

    Capture.PNG

    Now, when I'm in the develop mode all my images look like this. It is the only screen that looks like this. Export and import, Preview, everything seems fine.

    Open your Lightroom preferences, go to the performance tab, disable the GPU option. That will solve the problem.

    When you first launch LR6, it should automatically detect your catalog LR5 and asks if you want to open an improved copy of it.

    All of your changes, keywords, etc. will be deferred.

    If it doesn't, use file > open in LR6, orders and access the LR5 catalog.

  • Develop the module is off after I finish CC membership despite the LR5 use

    Hello!

    I use Lightroom 5 years. I bought a subscription of photography CC with the intention to upgrade, but I never have. I decided to stop my subscription CC because I never upgraded all the products I used. I just continued to use LR 5.

    I cancelled my subscription to the CC. This morning when I opened the LR5, it shows that my develop module has been disabled. I do not understand because LR5 is a licensed product is not part of the CC. I don't know why I now have limits on my LR catalog.

    I called and they said that they offer no support for LR 5 so they directed me here.

    Everyone knows this? Advice on how to get my LR 5 working again?

    Thank you!

    Hi Kirstiet76497078,

    Licensing for 5 Lightroom seems to be corrupted, I recommend you follow the steps in this link: How to convert a trial of Lightroom Lightroom CC 6 This link is for 6 of Lightroom, but the method to serialize a product remains the same so it should help solve the problem.

    Just in case it still does not work, please uninstall and then Lightroom 5 of your and reinstall it by downloading it from the link below:

    Install Photoshop Lightroom

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Records that oozes out of the LR5 catalog in Win 10

    I have recently upgraded to windows 10 and records began to disappear from the LR5.7 catalog in large quantities.  When I tried to re - one of the records import LR added the photos as if they had never been imported...  All data of the edition has also disappeared.  None of the files have been moved in Windows or LR. Has anyone seen this situation before LR5 & Win 10?

    Looks like you open an older LR catalog, perhaps a backup catalog file. This would explain the 'leak' records when you work in LR, because they never were in the oldest catalogue. Who is?

    Use Windows Explorer to search the drive for .lrcat and see if you can find a more recent catalog file.

  • Free update of the Lr5 Lr6 to

    I bought in March a stand-alone version of the Lr5 and when they launched the new version I applied for a free update of the Lr5 Lr6. I was happy when I received the email saying, what it has been approved, but the problem is that this (2 months already) I was faced with the Support team to get the files and the serial number without success. Whenever they say something different and made promises that they never do. Demand has risen for special support, but no response so far. I'm beginning believe that the strategy of Adobe is to make you give up and them they do not need to get any update free.

    Finally, I got the serial number and the hyperlink to download the upgrade. It took more time than I expected, but now it is resolved.

  • Hello! I just downloaded the upgrade for the LR6 (10 minutes ago) and after installation, I asks me to enter the activation key but I told him that I have not received by mail. What should I do? Thanks in advance for your answers. Stardiben

    Thanks in advance!

    I did it!

    But as the LR5 was also an upgrade, I had to find and enter my first my first Lightroom, the LR4 activation number, before the LR6, one has been accepted...!

    Crazy but true...

    But happy now; but I lost an hour or more...
