Hello
since my 5.2 version isn't supporting canon .cr2 raw i tried to update the version to 5.71.
i have a valid and working key for LR 5 but when i to update/upgrade it to 5.71 it says my serial number is invalid. The support just forwarded me to the forum here...

Does anybody know a solution what i can do ?

Cheers Lukas

    I can't seem to get mine to work either.

    How was your issue resolved?

    I also have purchased LR 5 and the license has been working up to 5.6, however it stopped working with 5.7.1.

    I am getting the error "The serial number you entered is invalid.  Please try again.  It the problem persists, contact Customer Support."

    Did you download the 5.7.1 update for here?

    Download Photoshop Lightroom

    If you did try downloading it from here.

    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/mac/5.x/

    If you need the Windows version you can also get it from that Adobe FTP server.

    Thanks!

    Yeah I was downloading it from the Download Photoshop Lightroom webpage.

    FTP file works great with my license.

    Thanks for the help Just Shoot Me!

    Which Canon camera model are your Raw files from?

    No need to guess which version of Lightroom is required. Supported cameras and the version of LR required are showing here

    Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    Is it an upgrade serial and requests to enter a serial of an older LR version as well?

    Please post the exact wording of the message you get or a screen-capture - DO NOT post the serial number.

    it is a students LR 5 purchased via amazon , , i thought the serial numbers were the same for all versions of 5.xx
    there isn't a other way to get .cr2 support than upgrade isn't it?
