Where does Adobe hide the deactivation link in lightroom? I looked through the onscreen locations, such as, edit (preferences, etc.), help (registration, etc.) but can't find where it is. - EdM

What do you mean by deactivation Ed ? Stop it downloading images from cards, being default processor or what ?

I suspect he means to deactivate the software from a licensing point of view, in order to install on another computer. As far as I know in practical terms there isn't a limit on how many computers Lr is installed on. It may scream if you launch it on too many at once. I have a Lr3 on four Macs and it doesn't complain, although I only ever use one at a time...  Sorry, I didn't actually address the question, to the best of my knowledge there isn't one. PC's may have a de-install utility in the Adobe folder? There isn't one on a Mac installation.

Robert's got it. I assumed that LR4 was subject to the same limitations as Photoshop and other products, namely, that it could be loaded to only 2 computers. It would seem to be a questionable assumption. Anyone know for certain? - EdM

I have always been able to find the deactivation on Photoshop, but not on LR. I just transferred my PS to a new computer after deactivating it on my old one, then did LR and had no issue with activating it, even though I did not deactivate LR on my old computer.

Thanks Robert, I asked just for the same reason. Although photoshop has a prominent 'Deactivate' selection under the 'Help' menu, Lightroom does not. So I can try to just load LR4 on my new computer and see what happens. - EdM.

Seems like Adobe have a more sensible policy regards installation of LR than for Photoshop. I know that Photoshop is their cash cow but it is so painful when the activation goes wrong that it does warrant the question why? The whole activation process is too complex. A single serialisation code with the software is all that is required (just like they did in the past before Photoshop CS). If they find that a serialisation code is being abused then they just need to block that code from future updates.

Robert Levy was right. I'm actually going to inherit my wife's Video editing machine and she's getting a newer one. So, I loaded LR4 on her computer just about 30 minutes ago, and had no problems or nasty messages from Adobe. Thanks again. - EdM

I'm pretty fussy about not ripping off movies, music or using software gifted from a friend who still uses it and didn't pay for it themselves However, I feel that a single user should be able to install LR on as many computers as they want provided 2 copies are not being used simultaneously Adobes license agreement usually permits use on 2 computers, but not simultaneously This is one of the reasons I particularly like the Mac App store since I can legitimately install a piece of software on as many machines as I own with auto updates and more, if only adobe and others would release more software there
