Re-install FCP 4 on new Mac dual 2.3

I just bought a new G5 dual cor 2.3 and used the migration software which transfers most of the software from my old G4 to the new G5.
However, it does not transfer FCP 4.
I did a lot of search and found all the neccessary tweaks to get FCP 4 running on the new PCI graphic cards. What I did not find is the basic
'... how do I install FCP 4 on a new machine?'
Do I have to de-install it on the old one and get a kind of 'transfer-licence ID' and if so, how?
Do I just do a fresh install and poke in my licence number - but wouldn't it be a breach of the licence because I installed it then literally on two maschines.
Sorry, I really don't have a clue.
Thanks for help

I'd just install it on the new machine. Delete the app from the old machine and you've only got one install.

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

    If I've purchased an app like Pages or numbers on my iPad, will I be able to install on a new Mac book pro?  Never had a Mac before

    No. The Mac OS X and iOS versions of an application are separate products, and if the developer chooses, purchases.

  • FCP to new mac

    I am purchasing a new Mac Pro. Currently I have Final Cut Studio 5.1 (universal) which was offered as an upgrade about a year ago at a low price for those with FCP 4 (for PPC). When I install my 5.1 version on my new Mac Pro, will I first have to install the old original FCP to be successful in installing 5.1?
    Thanks

  • Installation of Older FCP on New Mac - Need Help

    Hi. Help.
    I just got a new Mac. I have an older version of FCP - it is 4.5 aka HD.
    My problem is that my 4.5 is an upgrade. I first got FCP when it was 1.2.5. Then I upgraded to 3, then 4.5.
    To install 4.5 on my new Mac (with Leopard 10.5), I have to install the previous versions first, then the upgrades.
    Guess what? I can't install the original 1.2.5, since there is no trace of Classic.
    I am not going to go out and buy a full brand new version of FCP, when I am eligible for upgrades.
    Is there a way that I can get Classic on my new Mac, even though I have 10.5?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike,
    By new Mac do you mean an new Intel machine or a used PowerPC machine?
    If you really mean a new Mac then you need to upgrade your version of FCP. FCP 4.5 is PowerPC based and is not supported on Intel machines. You need a Universal Binary version. The first UB version was 5.1 and it was available during the Intel switch as a Crossgrade, it is no longer available. You can purchase an upgrade for FCP though as long as you have the original serial numbers you do not need to install the old version first.

  • Can Final Cut Studio be installed on a new Mac Pro?

    My G5 PPC died.  The processor went bad.  It would have cost me around 2 grand to fix.  So I just bought a brand new Mac Pro thinking that would be the better investment.  Tried to install Final Cut Studio and it is not supported.  Is this true?  If so - this Mac is going back to apple for a refund and I'll pay the 2 grand to fix the old one.  I can't afford to loose years of past projects.  Not to mention I am in the middle of project and have no way of working on it. Any fix for this?  My trust in Apple low and my years loyalty may have to move to another system.  I thought it was just drama when a college said the end has come for FCP.

    FCP 5, 4.5, 3...no, they will not work on Intel Macs.  FCP 5.1 was the first version to work on those machines.  So if you have FCP 5 or earlier, no, it will not install.  Sorry.  And since FCP as you know it has been discontinued, you can't really upgrade to a later version that will open your projects.  FCX is the new version, and it is very different than FCP was, and cannot open older project files.
    Sorry man...when you hold on to old old software, and get new machines, it won't always work. This is true for any software, on any machine.  FCP 5 is over 6 years old...7! 

  • I can't open pages because it tells me that I need a new program. I have 08 and 09 installed on my new Mac bookair but 08 seems to be the default.

    I have a new mac book air and it shows that it has pages 08 and the newer version pages 09 installed, but it only opens in pages 08. Now pages tells me I need to update the progammbefore I can open pages again. Even documents that I have created only yesterday won't open anymore. Any ideas?

    I bought the computer and pages 09 via the apple store online and both programs were on the computer when it came. Up to the error message I hadn't even checked which one of the pages program I was working with.

  • Problem installing CS4 onto new Mac OS X

    Can someone please help me?!
    I have just tried to install my Photoshop CS4 Extended onto my brand spankin' new Mac computer and when I tried to open the application this message comes up:
    "You can't open the application 'Adobe Photoshop SC4' because it is not supported on this architecture". What exactly does this mean?
    I have the latest IMac so I don't see why this would be a problem.

    Hi Cherry!
    Usually this happens, when Photoshop CS4 was not successfully installed.
    Reinstall it.
    If the option to install Photoshop CS4 is not available, de-install it first. Either use the installer or manually remove the Adobe Photoshop CS4 folder.
    Cheers,

  • Cannot install FCP X on Mac Pro (2,1).  Graphics card issue.

    I have a Mac Pro 2,1 (2 x 3 Ghz Quad Xeon, 16 GB RAM, and ATI Radeon X1900 XT (512 MB)) AND I cannot install FCP X.  It says graphics card not supported. What do I need to run FCP X?  If I need a better GPU, what card is recommended for this machine?  It's hard to believe I can run the software on my Macbook Air but not my Mac Pro supercomputer...

    Radeon HD 5770 (as inserted into the current MacPros) will do it. Make sure it's the unit bought from Apple, not a big box store.
    Plenty of discussions about it, here's one:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2544029?start=0&tstart=0
    Your "super computer" is more of a super computer than mine, but it did start life in 2007. Things have moved on... your MacPro isn't obsolete, by any means... in fact your original graphics card is probably just about to give up anyway! Mine did last year (I had an older card in a MP 1.1) and am glad I changed it.

  • I have Aperture 2 in CD and want to install it in new mac mini

    Hi,
    I have Aperture 2 in a CD which I installed in my old "white" mac book about 6 yeas ago.
    I have now bought a new mac mini and I want to install Aperture again.  Of course the new mac mini does not have a CD port.
    Question is: how can I download Aperture 2 from the Store so that I enter the software serial  number and buy the required upgrades on top of it.
    thanks
    ratoslibres

    If it is new and is running Yosemite you cant run Aperture 2, it is not compatible and ill not run.
    In addition Aperture 2 is not available anywhere as a download. If you what to run Aperture you will need to purchase Aperture 3 from the Mac App Store.
    regards

  • Error: Product key has been revoked...after installing on my new MAC (employee download)

    I am having issues installing Premier Pro CS6 for Mac.   I purchased this via the employee program with a link to download. When I insert the product code after running the install program, it says that the product key it has been revoked and to contact Adobe. I have used it in the past so I don’t know why it says that after I have already paid for it. I bought a new MAC so that’s why I want to install it on this computer.  Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.
