    I'm upgrading from LR3 to LR4. The LR3 was an upgrade from LR2 so how do I go about downloading & upgrading to LR4?

    Will all my catalogs etc come over during the upgrade or do I have to do anything special so the transition will proceed smoothly?

    Do I need ant product id or serial # and if so is it the LR3 one or the LR2 (from disk)

    Thank you

    enter in the serial number from LR3/LR2, your choice.

    Just to clarify, you'll have to purchase the Lightroom 4 upgrade.  If Lightroom 3 is still installed, the installer will find the serial number and verify that you have a legitimate version that you are upgrading.  Then the installation will proceed.  Lightroom 4 will create an upgraded copy of your existing Lightroom 3 catalog.  You will still be able to use Lightroom 3, but the transition to Lightroom 4 should be painless.

    Yes, and all this information is in the "read me file" that is included with the download package.

    Yeah, but who bothers to read those things?

    The ones that post questions on this forum without checking.

     

    It would be more productive if replys to these questions, referred the posters to the read me file.
