reinstalling lightroom 6

[luisn11448559]

How many times can I reinstall the same copy of lightroom 6 on the same computer and original hard drive? I have done it twice already, not sure if I can do it again as a reinstall?. My original LR 6 is registered with Adobe.

Thank you for any advice.

If you sign out of the currently installed version of Lightroom 6, using the menu command Help->Sign Out, then you can re-install Lightroom 6 an infinite number of times.

Why do you need to re-install? Re-installing doesn't solve most problems.

I am just a beginner. Switch external drives, deleted/moved pics/ folders not using lightroom 6 and the story goes on.  I have a recent second copy (on another mac) that I am I am doing well and no issues. But this first copy is giving me problems, compounded that I am not to bright on the computer.

I am moving all my pics into another drive. Erase the external drive and start again. I hope. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciated. Thanks for the reply

Reinstalling will not fix these issues. Reinstalling in this case is a waste of time.

If you are moving photos to another drive, you probably want to read Part 2 of this document: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders .

Will read the article before deleting or moving. I agree with you. I suspect I will inherit the same issues that happened when I reinstalled the first time.

Thank you again.

Just want to say that after reading part 2 I was able to get LR6 back functioning.

Thanks again

What happens when you try to install it? Describe in detail. Is there an error message? What does the error message say, word-for-word, verbatim?

What is your computer's operating system and version NUMBER?

I have used Lightroom for some years and bought a DVD of
AdobePhotoshopLightroom6 which is fine for my editing needs. It however
failed to respond so I uninstalled it and then tried to reinstall it but
nothing happened and there was no message on the screen. Obviously the DVD
had been rejected. My Operating system is Windows 10. Does this mean I can
no longer use Lightroom and will have to use another editing system? I do
not wish to take out a subscription since Lightroom 6 is adequate for my
needs.

Lightroom 6 was not responding so I uninstalled it and then tried to reinstall it using the DVD for AdobePhotoshopLightroom 6 which I purchased.

[jnnttwil@talktalk.net]

Operating System: Windows 10.  When I put the DVD in the my desktop nothing happens at all.  There is no message on the screen.

@larryh88532813 First, start a new thread, and then PROVIDE DETAILS. Based on what little you wrote, its impossible to say what you need or how we can help. But please, start a new thread.

Nothing happens when I put the CD in the computer.  I have windows 10.

There is a possibility that the AutoRun feature isn't working. Using File Explorer, browse the DVD looking for an Install.exe file and if you find it double-click on that file and see if it will execute. Take note that if it does install it will only be Lightroom 6.0. There were 14 updates that were released, but they will not be on DVD.
