For LR versions 1 to 5, each tri-monthly "dot" update was a download and installation of the entire application, so you could indeed go directly from, say, 4.4 to 5.7 so long as you had an LR 5 upgrade serial number. And registering the number with Adobe was merely an optional service, not a requirement. All this changed with Vs. 6.0 - the first version that required activation through a one-time login to an Adobe Account. All "dot" updates are patches on an already installed and activated LR 6.0.

Thanks for the info.
