Download and installation help for Adobe links

Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

Hello, OK I am ready to take your advice and try downloading since I cannot read the CD. How long will it take to download with about 5 GB DSL?

if you really have 5gb throughput that (.5gb) would take ~6 seconds.

OOPS sorry, 5 mbps (finger slipped). So I assume it will be a little more than 6 seconds, right?

Sorry to be a pest, but I am confused by your answer listing download links to several programs. Are you saying that I can go to the Lightroom 5 link, and download the program from there - even though I purchased it from Amazon and already paid for it? Or do I have to buy another one? This forum concept is impressive, and I have seen several questions from other folks. I was expecting to be able to talk with someone from Adobe, but this system is very interesting, but confusing to a new guy like me. If you can give me a simple answer to my question that will help. Based on the time difference I assume you are way out West, and probably still open for business.

Thanks,

Dave Hale

you purchased a serial number. that's it.

you should protect that number. it can be used to activate any lightroom 5 program you download.

click the lr 5.6 link and download the installation program. then install the program using your serial number when prompted. then enjoy your lr.
