Move Adobe To Another Drive
Last week I wrote about how to point the, and someone asked about moving the catalog and previews too. I thought that would make a great post for this week. Thanks, Stephanie!Now, don’t go moving your catalog around just for fun. This would only be if you had a pressing need, such as you need to replace the drive it is currently on, or maybe you had the catalog on an external drive, but now you want to move it onto your internal drive. All things being equal, you will always get better performance from the catalog when it is stored on an internal drive versus an external drive (especially if that internal drive is SSD).Ok, here’s how to make the move simply and safely:Step One: Go to Lightroom Catalog Settings General (under Edit menu on Windows).Step Two: Click the Show button on the General tab of the Catalog Settings to open the folder containing your catalog in your file browser.Step Three: Quit Lightroom. If prompted to, click skip for now (unless you haven’t backed up for a while, in which case you might want to run that backup).Step Four: Copy the entire folder containing the Lightroom catalog (.LRCAT) and its associated preview caches to the location you want it to be stored (pick a locally connected internal or external drive).Step Five: Once the copy operation is complete, double-click the catalog file to open it back into Lightroom.
This way you can make sure all is working fine, and the new location will be included in the preferences. Then update your.Once you are 100% certain the copy of the drive is secure and functioning correctly you can go back and safely delete the original catalog (and its associated preview cache) from the original location. You will then move forward with the catalog in the new location.
Hi Ann Marie,If you opened the catalog and did not find what you expected, then it suggests that you opened the wrong catalog file. Copying the catalog file to a new location and then opening that same catalog does not result in losing anything that was in the original catalog file. Just like copying a Microsoft Word document from one place to another does not lose a paragraph of text, but if you open a Word doc and find content is missing that you thought was there, it is likely due to the fact that the wrong doc file was opened.So, you need to go back to where the original catalog was located, open that, and see if it contains everything you expect it to contain. Great article – thanks! My issue is that the C drive on my desktop, albeit SSD, is only 250GB (whereas my traditional hard drive – the “D” Drive, is 3TB) and I’ve got a ton of photos in LR, so the catalog keeps growing to the point I’m searching for what’s filling up the C drive.Followed your tip, after I’d copied the entire catalog to a dedicated space on the D drive. Relaunched from the lcat and she came up just fine.
Next, I went with your suggestion of modifying the default catalog preferences where it now says the actual new location on the D drive. Was able to free up 57GB. Hi RobI really enjoy all your tips; I find them very informative, and I’ve been using Lightroom since version 3.You wrote, “All things being equal, you will always get better performance from the catalog when it is stored on an internal drive versus an external drive (especially if that drive is SSD).” I assume you were meaning especially if the internal drive was an SSD. What if the internal drive is a spinning drive and the external drive is an SSD? Do you think that would that speed up Lightroom?
Adobe Products must allow install into other drive locations. Make a note in a config file or registry key where the product has installed. Hire programmers with some experience. Not just some kids out of college who have learned how to click their way obediently through MS Visual Studio.C Drive is the only installation option for Adobe Pro CC and Adobe Pro 2017.
With external SSDs getting cheaper, could I get a “cheap” performance boost that way?Thanks for your insight. <a href=”target=”blank” rel=”noopener” data-mce-href=”src=”border=”0″ alt=”” data-mce-src=”/></a>. <a href=”target=”blank” rel=”noopener” data-mce-href=”src=”border=”0″ alt=”” data-mce-src=”/></a>.

We suppose that you want to move Adobe Acrobat DC to the new computer but puzzled about how to transfer Adobe product license to another computer without installation disks, CD or serial number. This tutorial will show you how to transfer Adobe Acrobat DC from one computer to another and find serial number to activate the Acrobat DC application on the new computer.
How to transfer Adobe Acrobat DC from old computer to a new one
Generally, Adobe allows users to install and activate Adobe programs on two computers. However, you cannot use it on both computers at the same time. If you need to install the software on any additional computers, you must deactivate one of the other computer licenses. Only if Adobe Acrobat's license is freed up, you could activate Adobe Acrobat on a new PC.
Step 1: Deactivate Adobe Acrobat from the old system.
To deactivate a Acrobat DC app, start the app and choose Help > Sign Out (your Adobe ID).
If you cannot access the previous computer on which you installed the app, if it was stolen, was lost, crashed, or locked, you can deactivate the device from your Account Page on Adobe.com.
To deactivate Acrobat XI/X, Creative Suite 6 and earlier, launch the app, choose Help > Deactivate.
Select Deactivateor Suspend Application in the next window. When you suspend activation, you can no longer use Acrobat on this computer. However, you can activate it again on this computer any time you want.
Step 2: Find Adobe Acrobat serial number.
If you purchased the Adobe Acrobat from Adobe website, you can find it online by accessing your Adobe ID account and sign in with your Adobe ID and password. Select My Products and Services. Click the arrow next to Adobe Acrobat DC to view the serial number.
Note: If you cannot see it listed there, you might be able to retrieve it from the old system usingProduct Key Finder. See how to find serial number for Adobe Acrobat on computer for your reference.
Step 3: Download the installation file from Adobe website and install it on the new computer.
If you've lost your original installation file or disk, you can download and install a free trial of Acrobat from Adobe official website ( https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/acrobat ) onto your new computer. To activate a subscription version of Acrobat DC, launch the app and choose Help > Sign in enter your Adobe ID and password, and then you are ready to use Acrobat DC.
If you have a standalone, non-subscription version of Acrobat DC, you need to enter your valid serial number, it will convert to a full and permanent version of Adobe Acrobat.
Information in this article also applies to any edition of Acrobat, including Adobe Acrobat XI, Adobe Acrobat X, Adobe Acrobat 9, etc. As well as other Adobe products, including Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc.
