I have been doing more low light event photography lately, but plan on getting back out in the open spaces soon. I use LR3 and would love to upgrade, but as a librarian in Texas I don’t have the personal funds to do so. I use Lightroom in conjunction with Photomatix for all my HDR work.

Looks like you got it done perfectly Dave – good work! If you deactivate any application within the suite, that deactivates them all… and then they all revert back to the time-limited trial versions.

Happy trails, have a safe trip! It sounds very exciting.

Hi Monica, have you ever run any Adobe trial containing that CS4 product on the same computer before? If so, you're out of luck for that - but can do a CS5.5 trial instead... If not, see this earlier comment and the responses which follow it - or try the suggestions in this help article.

Currently using LR3 and would really love to get or be able to upgrade to LR4.

I am a college student and I am majoring in arts photography concentration, and want to use it for school and keep things organized. It would be a step closer to my goal to eventually buying Adobe CS5, but even with the student discount I still can't afford it.

I haven’t tried Lightroom. But I am a photography student @ NYIP and am just getting started. I am trying to decide between Elements 10, Lightroom, or Photoshop CS5 for my needs – a free edition would definitely make my decision a lot easier. I would so love this….

I have run the LR4 beta. I really like the interface. Not a huge change, but still great improvements.

Thanks for that Lex. Looks like I’ve found the right site to stay in touch with throughout my Adobe experience. I re-installed CS5 on the smaller iMac and clicked on ” Help > Deactivate ” in the InDesign programme ( Which happened to be the first on the list to open ). I tried to open the others but they asked for the serial number. I guess that means I just have to wait now until I arrive in China and purchase my new Mac for the 6 months. I hope the transition will be smooth. If so… I will be highly recommending Adobe in my sleep… or to the cleaning lady…!! Just to add that I didn’t close InDesign after deactivation, so it carried on working until I quit and tried to re-open.

All the best
Dave

I use Elements right now and plan on buying the Lightroom 4 as soon as it’s available. I just started pursuing photography on a pro level and look forward to this new software. I haven’t tried out the beta but I heard some great things from people who have it and rely on Lightroom for their editing. I just upgraded my lenses and this give-away would be so helpful!

Hi, I downloaded CS4 and installed it and everything, but when I try to open the program it says that the licensing for this product has expired. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I downloaded the Lightroom 4 Beta the night it was released. Wish I had more time to play with it! I really like the new processing engine, but the highlight and shadow recovery tools are going to take getting used to. Currently running LR 3.6.

I find Lightroom really handy for uploading to my Zazzle stores; it delivers the color beautifully!

I would love to use Lightroom to enhance my blog photos. I really prefer to DIY it instead of using pre-made stuff!

I’m using the trial version and would like to buy 4. Would like to use it for editing my pics.. to give it more glam and go semi-professional with my pics.

If I’m really lucky, I hope to start with this version of the program.
I’m an experimenter and am always ready to do beta testing.
I would use this excellent program for my small Video Studio.
Thank you for this great giveaway and for the chance to win a license for very useful and needed software!

Comment on What are the Differences between CS5.5 vs. CS5 vs. CS4 vs. CS3? by ProDesignTools

That's fairly complex Gerubach. And regrettably, this post here isn't really the forum for that... Your best shots at getting an answer is either Adobe Support as you contacted, or the Expert Forum thread you started. Good luck!

Comment on Why Not to Buy Adobe Software on eBay, Craigslist, or Amazon Mkt by ProDesignTools

ProDesignTools — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:07:39 +0000

Greetings Cindy, you’re right – Amazon.com is not shown in the list of Adobe’s official/authorized resellers, perhaps for this exact reason… People think they’re buying from Amazon but too often it’s coming from some separate third party, and Amazon is happy to take the commission so they do not make this as plain or obvious as it should be. So if you’re buying software that is not both sold directly by and ships directly from Amazon.com, then it’s a problem.

Be aware that Best Buy also has an online Marketplace and is another one to stay away from.

Comment on Adobe CS5.5 Volume and Site Licensing Now Available for Multi-User by ProDesignTools

ProDesignTools — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:36:15 +0000

Thanks for your question Brian, and it's a very good one. Ordinarily, you cannot split and use different applications of Adobe CS5 software across more than two computers. Even so, each license is for a single user only. See: How Many Machines Can I Install or Run Adobe Products On? You can buy an Adobe Volume License that gets you more seats... but the same restrictions apply on splitting usage between systems or users. The only type of Floating License setup that Adobe offers is for Educational customers only - as outlined in Adobe's "Concurrency Policy." On the whole, you can find out more about running Creative Suite with multiple users here: How to Run Multiple User or Computer Licenses with Adobe Software Hope that helps!
