Lightroom Classic activation

Hi, I cannot activate my old Lightroom when swapping all my stuff to new notebook. When I enter S/N then installer complains about invalid key. AFAIR I did it several times when changing HW, I believe I deactivated old instance and activated new one without issues. Now referring help page says something about inability to activate old software. I do not think licence was time limited in classic to ban activation. 

Please tell me how to proceed to run LR on new hardware.  I do not want to experiment with activated instances not to loose them. Thanks

 

Kind regards

invalid key is because you're using the wrong key (6 groups of 4 numbers = 24 numbers), or the wrong installation file. ie the file and number must match.

Correct, I entered S/N from original product, not from upgrade. Thanks! But I proceed to page where I need Accept legal conditions but when I press Accept then LR silently disappears. It is fresh Windows 11 installation.

I do not understand. Are you checking log files or complains that you don't want to do ? 

Mainly standard instrallation procedure keep failing on my Win11.


you'll need an employee to check your log files. if you get a response, it will take weeks.
