From 30-Day Trail to Full Purchase

[tylerz]

Hi Folks - first post - love the forum.

I downloaded the 3' day trial of LR from Adobe about 1' days ago. It installed LR 1.3. I've been working in it, setting up a bunch of stuff and really enjoying my experience. I ended up deciding to buy a copy of the software from Amazon (I have a desktop and a couple of laptops that I will be installing the application to) - the trial version and all of the customizations I've undertaken over the last couple weeks reside on the desktop.

My question is this - do you think I'll have to install the software on my desktop, or will there be a serial number that I can simply punch into the dialog that opens up every time I launch LR now?

I've never used a trial to purchase pathway before. I could also have simply purchased the app from Adobe over the web, but I wanted a copy on disk so I could install to my other PC's and for when my hard drives crash (a matter of when, not if).

So, has anyone else done the trial, and then bought the app in disk format and succesfully installed and kept all of the customizations? How'd it go?

regards,
Tyler

Welcome to the forum and LR, enjoy both!!
You can just input the serial number from the CD. The copies are the same, so nothing will change.
You say you have v1.3, there is a patch update of v1.3.1 which you ought to install if you haven't already.
