'Bad Robot' on the L Camera Forum has this quote from communication with
Leica Camera Software support:
............................................
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

..............................................

Cheers
Geoff
