Lightroom 6 Robert Crawford

1. I bought LR6 as an upgrade from LR4 in 2015.  Can I delete LR4 from my computer and retain full LR6 function?

2. How can I install LR6 using the upgrade on another computer?  I installed it by an Adobe download and I have the serial number for the upgrade. Where is the relevant download on the Adobe website?  Do I need to install LR4 first (I have it on disc)?

Can I delete LR4

Yes you can un-install Lr4.  The program software is independent. Do NOT delete your catalogs (xxxxxx.LRCAT). The catalog contains ALL your data about your photos.

When you open a Lr4 catalog in Lr6 it will do a conversion update to the catalog (and leave a copy of the 'old' Lr4 catalog to archive)

How can I install LR6 using the upgrade on another computer? I installed it by an Adobe download....

If you have Lr6 installed- Just run it on the second computer- it will ask for the "Upgrade Serial Number" and then also ask for the "LR4 Serial Number". You need both Serial numbers.

You do not need to have Lr 4 installed. Only both Serial Numbers will be needed.
