I am planning to purchase a new computer IMAC 5K.

As I have LR6 previously installed (online) on my current computer operating on Window 7,

what must I do to have my licence changed.

Regards,

Edwin

    You received your serial number when you purchased LR. Therefore, you can find it in your records somewhere. You can also find it at Adobe.com, go to "Manage Account".

    Hint hint: you should never have to wonder how you can find your serial numbers (not just for Lightroom but for all your software). You need to store them someplace you can always find them, such as a text file named "serial numbers.txt", which is backed up to the cloud.

    Hi Ians,

    Thanks, good to know. So what do I need to do once I have purchased the Imac.

    Where can I find the LR6 licence number.

    Regards,

    Edwin

    That's funny, because I am well aware of these documents pointing out the location of the file with the serial number, and I also KNOW my serial number, but because I try to help people as you do, I went looking for the .lrreg file for my LR 6, and I cannot find it. In fact, I had Windows search all hard disks for all files whose name contains lrreg, and it finds none. I can find the file for LR 5, but no such file exists on my computer for LR 6, even though LR 6 is properly installed and running properly. A mystery. Can anyone explain?


    That file/folder location is a System file/folder and the normal Windows search feature will not search System Files/Folders.

    MS has determined that normal users don't need to see what is in system files/folders.

    Also by default System and hidden files/folders aren't displayed in File Explorer. You can turn all of that on.
