Update Lightroom 5.2 to 5.7

[r37796710]

I recently upgraded my camera to a Canon 7d Mk II and the RAW files are no longer supported in my version of Lightroom 5.2. I've searched around for updates, but I cannot seem to find the download link or file for it. The "check for updates" button just sends me to the free trial downloads of Lightroom CC. The archives just send me to the blog stating that "Lightroom 5.7 is now available" or very old archives of Lightroom 3.6, etc.

Does anybody know how I will be able to update it into the last version or the version that supports 7d Mk II and the RAW files?

Download version 5.7.1 from here: Download Photoshop Lightroom

Your link doesnt work.

[Per Berntsen]

The link works fine for me.

Here's direct links to the download:

Mac: http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5_7_1/osx10/Lightroom_5_CCM_LS11.dmg

Windows: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/win/5.x/Lightroom_5_LS11_win_5_7_1.exe

I downloaded Lightroom 5.7, but do I have to uninstall 5.2 and then reinstall 5.7? That would be a pain to resetup everything again. Or does installing the downloaded software just update it?

You don't need to uninstall 5.2 -- the 5.7.1 update will install right over it, preserving your preferences, presets, etc.

Unfortunately - there is no more download link to LR 5.7.1 - only LR 6.0 - which is not helpful for me since I do not own a LR6 product key

[Just Shoot Me]

The links posted in reply #4 of this discussion works to download LR 5.7.1

[thomast55752259]

Hmmm. I tried that link before and just tried again. Receiving the following message...:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5_7_1/osx10/Lightroom_5_CCM_LS11.dmg" on this server.

Any idea how to proceed? Thx for your help.

The link in Post#4 for Windows does still work (just tested).

If it does not work for Mac, you will have to contact Adobe as per this 'help' page-

Download older versions of Adobe apps

and click on- Contact Customer Care

[johnrellis]

The Mac link in reply #4 no longer works.  Here are links that work (at least until Adobe removes these too):

Mac: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/mac/5.x/Lightroom_5_LS11_mac_5_7_1.dmg

Windows: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/win/5.x/Lightroom_5_LS11_win_5_7_1.exe

[thomast55752259]

Awesome. Thx a lot, johnrellis That link works for me.

Anyone have a working download link for Mac LR 5.7.1?

[johnrellis]

The Windows link above is currently working for me, but the Mac one isn't.

[johnrellis]

Adobe decided to remove all the public download links for older versions of most of its apps, including LR.  Adobe says you can contact their support and they will send you a link.  See this help article for details: Download older versions of Adobe apps

Beware that many people have had lots of problems trying to get such help from Adobe support, so be persistent. If the first person you talk with is clueless, just hang up/stop the chat and try another one a little later. Let us know how you get on.

Adobe could have left the links active on their web site — WHICH COSTS THEM NOTHING — and instead removed the links, and developed a method that makes it very difficult for people to obtain the links.

There are a lot of people out there in the world who think Adobe is a greedy company that wants to reach into everyone's wallet and extract every last dollar from everyone they can. Generally, I am not one of those people, but things like this certainly give credence to such beliefs, and the optics of this are terrible.

[johnrellis]

Agree, they’ve needlessly created a horrible mess.

[Just Shoot Me]

Also once you get the install files MAKE A COPY OF THEM AND SAVE IT.

[thomast55752259]

Will do for sure.

[Just Shoot Me]

Also there is no Update to LR 5.x for all versions prior to LR 6 to update LR from one point release to the next point release ypou had to download thew complete program install files.

By the way I have both the Win and Mac OS X versions saved to at least one of my HDD, more like 3 of them.

[gatort67254539]

Im having the same problem. I tried chat support but they were absolutely no freaking help.

Why did I waste my money on Adobes software?

What I dont understand is they make older versions of LR available to download but not the updates?

[gatort67254539]

@Per Bernsten that link is for a complete download.

I am currently on a mobile connection and will be for 4 more months and the only solution i have seen here is to download a full version of LR 5 which is almost 1G of data which would use most of my hotspot data. So in order to be sure that that download would help me I would need assurance so I know its worth using that much of my data.

[johnrellis]

The link posted by Per is the only way to get the update to 5.7.1.

[JP Hess]

With Lightroom 5 there were no "patch" updates. Every update was a complete reinstall of the program. As John has  already commented, the link that has been provided is the only way to get the update.
