1. Re: What do we do with the Lightroom 5 CC install if we already have non-CC Lightroom 5.2 installed?
99jon Sep 22, 2013 3:43 AM (in response to jlua001)You could just download from the Creative Cloud desktop App by clicking the install button. But it may get confusing having a perpetual license installation and a CC installation. However it should be no different to the situation when CC first started and users had both versions of CS6 installed.
Personally I would make a catalog backup and then uninstall and deactivate the existing application.
I would then download within CC which will be given a different serial number. Mine was automatically generated during the installation process and shows up at My Adobe >> My Subscriptions. At least then you won’t have to purchase LR in future.
You would then be free to use your perpetual license elsewhere, sell it or give it away.
N.B. Your images, folders and catalog won’t be touched and will reappear when you reinstall/catalog upgrade.

jlua001 Sep 22, 2013 3:49 AM (in response to 99jon)Thanks. That makes sense. Although -from what I´ve read- after the fresh Lightroom CC install, I would have to re-update to LIghtroom 5.2 from the Help menu, since it seems that CC won´t handle Lightroom updates.

3. Re: What do we do with the Lightroom 5 CC install if we already have non-CC Lightroom 5.2 installed?
99jon Sep 22, 2013 5:07 AM (in response to jlua001)I just installed LR from Creative Cloud desktop and it was version 5.2.
What you say is true for future LR releases until Adobe finds a way to send LR notifications through CC like all other apps. And that's the difference, LR5.2 is not Lightroom CC i.e. a simple update; it's another full release requiring download and installation in its entirety.
