Do I need to uninstall LR3 before installing LR5 upgrade version? Is it cleaner to uninstall LR3 first and install LR5?

You are going to like LR5 after using LR3. The prevailing idea in the photo community is to leave the older version on your computer until you have installed LR5. I always leave the "older" program on for a week or so after installing the update, unless the directions specifically say to uninstall first or right after installing the new version. Hope this helps

If my memory serves me correctly I'm pretty confident that it does, i recall installing 3.5 and it was extremely easy, and there was another space for the 2.5 as well.

First Question: There is a way to do a clean install with the upgrade version on an empty formatted hard drive. At windowssecret.com there are complete instructions. Second Question: You actually need to buy the 64 bit version

Yes. Perform your upgrade then.follow instructions to.open existing file...there should be no problem opening your 2007 file

I have never had to update any firmware. I just load the copy and duplicate, I have never had to do that on any of my machines and I have been doing it fora long time.

Don't think so, the box does not say this is an upgrade and you must remove old system in the installation process.

No you do not. It should run right out of the package. However, you will need to download several updates which are a bit time consuming.

True. I received an alert from Bad Elf recommending I NOT update my Operating System. They are working on a fix but as of April 24, 2015, they don't have it yet.

Ooops: read below for someone else's actual experience with this. My original post: I suggest that you research the consequences of the upgrade, before doing it. I read somewhere that, on 4.3, you can read & write to the micro SD card (if you install one, of course), but that you cannot write to it (while installed), once the upgrade has been performed. Subject to your verification and the wisdom of others. Just something I read after I had already upgraded. BTW, upgrade was pretty effortless, FWIW.

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.

It appears to be just the newer version. My LS10 still works like a champ so I really haven't been looking at an upgrade. It look like the LS14 has a lot of new features, ergo, etc... Good luck.

I installed the upgrade from FP and it went fine. I did not have FP installed and it did not ask for the program disk or the product key. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.

No disc necessary once you install it. When you update, you have delete the program and then download and install the update.

If you don't own an older version, then you have to buy the full version. When LR 4 comes out, you can upgrade at the lower price, but you have to start with a full version.

The unit will check for available upgrades, but you can do it yourself. Magellan has a web page that has updates. It is under the "support" tab and then you select your unit. The upgrades normally deal with problems, and if they don't impact me, I don't download them. For example, the latest deals with Japanese and korean languages.

I bought V4 earlier this year and it automatically upgraded to V5 when it looked for updates online. I haven't noticed any major differences since upgrading.

For me it was a great improvement since I upgraded from 2009. I especially like the fact that my information is only one file now. I did the Amazon download. Hope this helps.
