What happens if I download LR 5 to my current computer now, but I buy a new computer within a year or so?

The Adobe license allows you to run on two computers. I run LR 5 on my laptop and my desktop. Photoshop includes a mechanism to deactivate the license on one computer so you can move it to another one, but I don't see an explicit means to do this with LR. However, I have to think you can do this via the LR installation process if you re-install on another computer. Just don't lose your key. You can't be the first person to face this issue.

I believe you can just download the software BUT if something happens to your machine and you need to reload it on a new machine before the year is out, I think you'll be required to buy another license. I prefer to actually have the disc so I have options at a later date.

You should not have any problem, as long as the renewal code on your NIS 2012 is valid. Do an auto renew, and the NIS on your computer should update. You can't use the disk because it is older than what is on your computer. I just used NIS 2013 to renew my subcription. I had no problems. Hope this helps.

You can use it on your old computer. And when you decide to upgrade your computer you can bring the program with you.

I don't think so. You might still be able to buy a copy of 7, though considering 8's already 3 years old I wouldn't want to intentionally install 7 on anything (unless I already owned it or whatever).

I bought a copy of 2010 for three computers. if you bought a copy that is only licensed for one computer, then that is all you can download: one computer.

Be careful! it is one year but the year starts with the first install. So if you install another computer 6 months later it will only have 6 months left. I was shocked to find this out when I did the 2nd install

As long as you have the key they sent you, you can download it again with no issues... I just don't know if you can download to another computer or not.

When you buy the software download you have the ability to log into your amazon purchase library and download it again in the future if you need to reinstall it. Think of similar to the situation if you bought the hard disc where you could re-insert the disk after installation to install again.

The download is the complete program.. you don't have to have a previous version installed to upgrade. You need the license for your old version however to be eligible to receive the 'crossgrade' license.

You should be able to connect this drive and then redirect your download to this drive. You should be able to do this through the W7 download page or you could redirect your default download location through your browser. The bigger question to you will be whether you have enough room on your primary drive to do the upgrade. Another option would be to move most of your personal files from your original drive to this external drive freeing up space on your primary drive to download and upgrade Windows. Depends on what you want. Personally, I would at least use the external drive as a backup/copy for your personal files in case your upgrade goes badly.

Depending on the EULA of the current OS, you might be required to purchase a new copy. Even if not required to buy a new copy of your OS, you'll probably have to reinstall it so that is matches the new components.

Yes, as long you download 2015 version from web site and use your serial number from this one there is no problem at all, I did it for my pc's

I would say as long as you uninstall from the old PC, then you should be perfectly ok to install on a new PC. I'm pretty close to needing a new computer, so I'm going to test down the road. If not, I will just purchase a new license. Thank you.

I don't think so. You have to go online to register the software within 30 days. If you don't, it loses some or all of its functionality (I'm ashamed to say I haven't done so yet, even though it's been longer than that since I installed it). Anyway, I suspect that once you register it on one computer, you probably won't be able to do so again for another one. Hope this helps.

If it's an upgrade version you have to have a version of logic already on your computer

I would try advancing the upgrades no more than 5 yrs each time till you get to 2015. 2015 said it could only upgrade files for the past 5 yrs. I had 2007 so I went to 2011 and then was able to upgrade to 2015 so you might want to try 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2015. Or you could try the cheaper way and nstall Quickens in a new location and see if you can start a new file but you probably won't be able to upgrade the old ones.
