Re-installing lightroom onto a new computer

Hi

I've just got a new imac and I already have Lightrrom 4 on my old one. I'm sure to most this is a VERY simple question so sorry in adance but believe it or not I cannot find the answer in any forums. How do I reinstall Lightroom onto a new computer?

Can I do this somehow using the serial number? I'm sure the licence allows use on 2 machines so I dont think I have to purchase again.

When I go into order history on my adobe account page, I thought I might be able to download it from there again... but cant see this option.

PLease could any replies be in simple speak and not too technical.

Many thanks

You can find your serial number by opening Lightroom and then selecting Help->System Info.

To install LR on a new computer, just download the software from Adobe and enter your serial number.

Advice: for all the software that you purchase, write down the serial number and store it in a place that you will be able to find it when needed. This could be a piece of paper, or a computer file, but don't get into the situation wehre you don't know the serial numbers of the products that you have purchase

This is great news, @John Waller ! Glad you posted it.

 

To @JR Bondy : Please take not of the advice above to save the downloade file somewhere safe. Also, please be advised that LR 3 cannot be installed on some new Mac computers, if the operating system is Catalina or newer.
