    If you have LR 5 still running on one of your computers, you can find the serial number by looking in the location given in this document: Where to find preference files for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5

    Which brings up an important point. You need to develop a method of keeping track of ALL of your serial numbers (not just Lightroom) so you never wind up in a situation again where you can't find it. I recommend a text file on your computer with an obvious name, which is backed up to the cloud.

    thanks for your reply, I went to his location

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg

    and it fails.

    I tried

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\

    and it is actually an empty folder... does that make any sense? what can I do about it?

    Thanks again

    You can try the following.

    Login to your Adobe Account and search under Plans & Products and you should see the products you have registered with the serial numbers displayed.

    In the event you do not have an Adobe Account with your products registered then you can do a search for it within the registrary of the Computer where you have LR 5 installed. You should still find it there if it has been uninstalled and you did not manually delete the serial number from your computer.

    No to both the above then call Adobe direct for help.
