Title: Lightroom gone?
Post by: petermarrek on January 31, 2010, 12:40:32 pm

Worked in Lightroom 2 yesterday (registered copy), today when I try to open LR, a message comes up that this is a Beta version and has expired.  All of my backup copies are the same What gives?

You sure you don't have multiple copies of Lightroom laying around...like maybe an older beta version?

Otherwise, if you want help, help yourself by providing basic troubleshooting info.

I called Adobe, their suggestion was to download a new copy and activate using my #s.  The strange part is that if this was a old beta version, why did it work for over a year? Peter

Now I must report that all of a sudden (today) I received the same message.
Your Beta Version has expired.
This is even though I have  a PAID VERSION with a serial number.
Their must be some sort of major bug in this program.

Three friends, all with authentic copies & registrations, report the same as of last weekend.

I just uninstalled Lightroom 2 and reinstalled it.
But I must state I did not have a Lightroom 2 beta running on this Mac.
But after uninstalling and the reinstalling all seems to be running ok. Go figure!

Fortunately I had a downloaded copy of LR on file, installed it and good to go although it is an older version. Will try to upgrade it later. It has not asked for license #'s yet. Peter
