Hi guys, unless Adobe's policy has recently changed, I thought when you purchased Lightroom, you could install it on two computers (one could be a mac and one a pc). Certainly that's how it was before.
Well on Friday I paid for the upgrade to LR6 standalone (not the CC subscription) for £59, and successfully downloaded the mac copy and using the new serial number provided by Adobe, soon got a fully working copy on my MBP.
However today, I've come to install it on my desktop PC. Downloaded the LR6 Windows package (from the links provided by Adobe), however when I went to install, it kept asking my to sign in using my Adobe ID before installation commenced. I did that but despite numerous attempts, it kept failing (saying that my computer wasn't connected to the internet - even though it is - I can go to any website without issues). I selected the "connect later" option and this then installed LR6, but as a CC version, and when I went to enter my new serial number, kept trying to connect to adobe but failing miserably ?
So I now have a successful working copy installed on my MBP, and a copy on my desktop PC that is effectively a 30 day CC trial that it won't allow me to register my serial ? Am I doing something wrong, does the CC version automatically transfer to a non CC version on successful application of the serial number, and could this just be server issues at Adobe ?
Anyone else experienced this ?
