Question

I have tried to upgrade my Adobe LR 5 to 5.7. I downloaded Adobe Application manager and all looked fine when I downloaded the upgrade. However every time i try to open Lightroom it says that I must sign in to start my free trial. When I click through 'sign in' in takes me to a blank screen and I can't sign in anyway. I shouldn't be on a free trial  as I have already purchased lightroom. Anyone else experienced this??

    When you install LR 5, you applied a serial number. I don't think you need the Adobe Application manager at all for Lightroom 5 or 5.7.1. If I were you, I would uninstall the Adobe Application Manager and not download it again, uninstall LR, then reinstall LR 5.7.1 and apply your serial number.

    Uninstalling then reinstalling does not change or move or delete your catalogs or your photos. They will still be there.
