It's not deactivation that is the problem. The problem is that the activation does not stick. When I look in the Windows Registry, I see that the hard drive migration has generated an orphaned SID structure, which may be where the problem is. If my suspicion is right, the License key

Thanks P.J. The only reason that keeps me from playing with editors like RawTherapee, DxO, C1 (or Corel AfterShot, for that matter), is that they are not good DAMs. The true strength of Lightroom is exactly that. It combines good archiving, basic raw file editing, and good integration with

Jostein, I just have to say it: the best advanced editor available is Photoshop. After recent Mac OS X updates started to erode my CS5 enough to be troublesome, I finally gave in and subscribed to CC. It has been, for me, worthwhile. Lightroom integrates better with Ps, both are speedier, and Ps

So I bit the bullet and reinstalled Windows from a clean and scrubbed drive. Lo and behold, all Adobe license numbers stick, and Lightroom runs smoothly with the original database. There's still the issue of the ageing GUI of Photoshop CS6, but now at least I have time to reflect and perhaps

CS6 has a problem? Or the latest version of OS X has a problem with CS6? If it's the latter, I expect it will eventually get fixed. Apple, for all their faults, does occasionally listen to their users. Rarely maybe, but it does happen. I'm still using CS6 with no problems, but I'm a Windoze
