Unmount the Costco Canada Export Plugin disk when you are done.

If you are installing the new package on a computer where you had an older version (prior to 2.6.0) of the plugin installed, you should remove the older installation first. Run Lightroom, go File > Plug-in Manager and then remove the plug-in from the list. Then close Lightroom and proceed with the installation as explained above.

In some situations when you had an older version of the plugin installed previously, the plugin may be disabled in Lightroom Plug-in Manager. Launch Lightroom and go File > Plug-in Manager... to bring up the Lightroom Plug-in Manager. Locate the plugin name in the list of installed plugins and make sure it is enabled. If you see that the plugin is disabled, expand the Status panel on the right and click Enable.

Applying the license and activating the plug-in

Once you have installed the plugin, launch Lightroom and go to the Plug-in Manager, go File > Plug-in Manager... Select Costco Canada in the list of installed plug-ins on the left hand side. The Plug-in Info panel will be displayed on the right. Click Activate Plug-in. Enter your first name, last name, and the serial number then click Activate.
