Lightroom 6 upgrade

[markw59946286]

Dear Forum,

I have lightroom 3 running on two different laptops (older macbook pro's) and when I purchased lightroom initially the license was good for one desktop and one laptop per user.  If I buy the lightroom 6 upgrade would I be able to install on both laptops running difference licenses or would I need to purchase two upgrades?  Thank you very much in advance for your help and feed back.

Lightroom  6 comes with the same arrangement: 1 license, 2 activations.

You only need to purchase a single upgrade then install and activate twice.

It won't matter that I purchased two separate licenses for my laptops initially?  I would be super excited if this is the case rather than paying for two upgrades.

If I understand you correctly, you've got 2 x separate licenses for Lightroom 3, one on each MacBook Pro.

You could have just bought one copy of Lightroom 3 and used it on both. The other purchase was not necessary.

There is a possibility that you may have to re-license one of the Lightroom 3 so that both installs are licensed with the same serial number.

Yes, you can purchase 1 x Lightroom 6 upgrade and use it to upgrade Lightroom 3 on both laptops - provided both laptops comply with the system requirements for Lightroom 6 - in particular you need to be running at least OS X 10.9 on both.
