Lightroom 5.7 Update For Windows
Dec 03, 2017 So I'm assuming that it's a simple question.as a license holder to Lightroom, am I able to update to LR 5.7.1. I've already tried to update via Lightroom, but it doesnt take me to the 5.7. So I'm assuming that it's a simple question.as a license holder to Lightroom, am I able to update to LR 5.7.1.

James, there really aren't two versions. If you download Lightroom 5.7.1 from the 'standalone environment' or if you download it via the Creative Cloud app, it is the exact same program. The only difference is how you validate your license. If you choose to enter a subscription-associated Adobe ID, you have access to Creative Cloud features - which for 5.7.1 is Lightroom mobile.

Sometimes when you install for the first time or after a long period of time, LIghtroom grants a 7-day trial to the mobile features. At the end, you enter your serial number and away you go. This may be what you are seeing. In any case you can serialize a Creative Cloud version by following the instructions at this link: While these instructions are for 6.x, I am pretty sure they will work for 5.x but I haven't tested that specifically. Rikk I think, actually I know, there was 2 separate downloads for LR 5. One for the CC version and one as a stand alone.
