I also contacted leica, here is the reply.... Dear Mr. David. Thank you for your interest in the Leica system. Recently Adobe has introduced the new Lightroom version LR3. We are still in the process of communicating with Adobe regarding the deployment and availability of LR3 for Leica. We kindly ask you for patience as we are certain to be in the position to offer an adequate solution as soon as possible. Please note that the licence numbers issued for Leica S2, M9 and X1 are currently valid for Adobe Lightroom 2 only! These licence numbers cannot be used to download any Lightroom 3 versions from the Adobe website! We kindly ask for your understanding. Mit freundlichen Gruessen / kind regards ..............................................
