1. Re: Upgrade Process from LR3 disk to LR5 ?
99jon Oct 11, 2013 11:34 AM (in response to soloalpinist)Simply go ahead and install LR5.2 and as you shoot new photos add them into the new catalog.
Just avoid transferring folders of photos from the old PC otherwise you will lose your metadata and develop settings.
If you intend to keep the old computer as a photo archive make sure you have a backup of the catalog and a separate backup of the images; just in case if fails one day.

dj_paige Oct 11, 2013 12:28 PM (in response to soloalpinist)Just install LR 5 (or better yet, LR 5.2). Yes you can install it alone, all you need is the serial numbers from the previous version and the serial number from your LR5 purchase.
