I own Lightroom 5 but recently had my H/D upgraded to a SSD and now find that I have lost Lightroom. I have been able to reinstall it on my new SSD (downloaded the original version from an online reseller) but now prompted for a serial number. Adobe's site said to check My Account on Adobe as if I had register it, they would have a copy. It seems that since only versions of Elements appear there, I must not have registered Lightroom? Any thoughts on what I can do next?
OH yes...the problem is further compounded by not having email on the machine either as the new SSD requires me to reinstall Outlook and I have not begun searching for where I got from.

Do you still have the old HD? Lightroom, and your serial number are on that HD.

Yes it's on the old drive and yes I have it. How can I determine the serial number when I can't launch from the old drive?
