Academic Version of Aperature

I ran the check up for upgrading Aperture 1.5 to 2.0 and computer passed so I went to Apple store and bought update. When I went to install my 1.5 serial number came back as invalid. I then realized I had the academic version. When I looked at email receipt from store it says no open box returns. I feel they are obligated to take return since their software check said ok. Nothing on box indicated you could not update from academic version. Earlier I had checked education site and there is no special academic price on 2.0. Am I stuck?
I really think since I bought my aperture last year there should be disclaimers or warnings on web site and spelled out specifically in what you need to upgrade. Is Apple getting like Adobe and rest of PC world? I now have converted from PC world and have 2 Macs. Maybe I made a mistake.
Should I abandon Aperture now and stay with Light room. Spend another 100 dollars if Apple takes back upgrade and buy full version or spend $200 to get CS3 for the mac (have PC version)?
This situation is just down right tacky!!

I had the same problem today; bought the Academic (for $250 in Jan. '06), and tried to install the 2.0 upgrade, and we stopped when I entered my original serial number.
Call to tech support today gave result that Academic 1.x isn't eligible for upgrade, must now buy full version. Called sales dept. to return the 2.0 Upgrade version, explained situation, and asked for some consideration - which was given in the form of $50 off the full version.
End result for me is I received $50 off 1.0 (when I was honestly eligible to buy Academic), and paid $150 for 2.0; I'm happy enough. Life's too short to rant about this kind of stuff; it's cool product.
It is messed up that a college student could buy 1.0 for $250 in Jan. 2006 and (if they wanted to) but had graduated would have to buy 2.0 for $200, ($450 total), but would get full 1.0 in Jan. '06 for $300 plus 2.0 upgrade now for $100, a $50 overall savings.

Academic version of Aperature, Same as Standard?

I have the ability to purchase the Academic version of Aperature which affords substantial savings over the regular version. Is it the same version as the regular and can it be updated. I have heard remarks about an inability to upgrade the Academic version.

By normal patterns of upgrade pricing, the Academic version saves money through two or three major upgrades. ($150 * 3 < $300 + $100 + $100. But of course there are no guarantees what the upgrade prices will be.)
But this moment is special: with Leopard out there seems to be reason to expect version 2 within months if not weeks. Not a good time for the one-shot deal of the Academic version. That's what I bought, and I'll have to pay out the same $150 (presumably) when v2 comes out. But meanwhile I've had about a year with version 1 (1.1, 1.5, 1.5.6), and I will expect to get at least two to four years out of the next one, so I'm not losing money until perhaps 2011--too far off to worry about.
So if you can wait, go for the Academic when v2 hits the stands. It might possibly be so close that for new purchasers of 1.5 would be a free upgrade, though I wouldn't count on that.

Academic version 3 question

how many times can you install the academic version of fcp 3 with the same serial numbers. its not working now and i think it may be because its been installed to the max. anyone know?

I would suggest you call the Applestore and order FCP 5.1. When three was written, os10 didn't even have a big cat name yet. I've been told that there are problems with it and 10.4.8
You should be aware that multiple installs on different machines is very illegal and apple can fall all over you if it wants to. Posting such info on Apple's website is just plain stupid. But hey, whatever.

Is it possible to upgrade from an Academic version of Logic 7.1?

I just purchased a new mac 8-core, went on installing Logic studio upgrade, but when it asks for the xskey it says 'this xskey is not elegible, please see upgrade requirements'. i've been using that key for many years and I don't understand whuy it's not working...Could anyone help me, please? I can't even find a support mail where to send my question to...

If it's an academic version, or a not-for-resale version, then these are not upgradable - ie, to move to the next full version of Logic, you can't just buy the upgrade, you have to buy the full version.
It's common knowledge that Academic versions of Apple's ProApps are not upgradable.
If in doubt, contact Apple.

Final Cut Studio 2 (Academic Version)

I am a teacher and we have ordered and received 4 Final Cut Studio 2 packages. It came to us as the academic version. I know you cannot get upgrade to future Final Cut Studio packages, but is that the only difference?
Does it have all of the other features that regular Final Cut Studio has?
Thanks in Advance

Does it have all of the other features that regular Final Cut Studio has?
yes.

I'm trying to upgrade 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro. When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0. it says I don't need them. When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade.

I'm trying to upgrade Logoc Pro 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro. When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 it says I don't need them. When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade. This all on the older MacBook currentlu running 9.0. But I need to upgrade to 9.1.7 to transfer it over tp the new MacBook w/ Retina display.

I think I just got it. I had the actual Logic Pro.app in a folder called Logic Pro inside the applications folder. When I moved the actual app out of the folder and into applications it worked. I am in the process of updating now. However it seems a little strange because that's how it installed from the discs - into a folder named Logic Pro within the applications folder. I would never have figured that out on my own. So thanks for those who posted solutions to other users similar requests.

How do I install Photoshop 6 on MacBook (Windows & Academic version)

I have been attempting to install Adobe Photoshop 6, made for Windows and academic version. The Mac system always asks me "which application to open this stuff with?" I don't really have an answer to that question. I've discovered a mysterious and cranky program named Disk Utility, in Applications/Utilities. I just am so ignorant about this. (I am a new Mac user, and a multi-media student and artist). A big reason why I bought this laptop, was so that I could do much artistic and photographic work with this thing! I've seen these things called "DMG" files. What the heck is that? Very frustrated! Any help from a knowledgeable Mac person, (knowing Adobe would be a plus!) would be VASTLY appreciated

You need to buy a Mac-Version off Adobe Photoshop!
http://www.adobe.com/products/adobesupportsOSX.html
Maybe you might also consider to start using a newer version off Photoshop!
It is not possible to run Windows applications on a Mac and vise versa!
The .dmg files are image files! Just like a .iso file on a PC. Most of the applications are packaged in these images. By double clinking on them OSX will mount them on your desktop. Then you can drag-and-drop the application to the Application folder on the Macintosh HD to install them. After installing you can unmount the image and delete the .dmg file. You can see them like virtual installation disk's! Disk Utility is just the application which handles the mounting and unmounting off the .dmg file's!
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem. Consider rewarding some points!

Final Cut Pro Academic Version Is not fully functional!

Could someone tell me if Final Cut Pro Academic is really functionally? I bought final cut pro academic and it appears that the program color does not work. The viewer in color doesn't work. Apple states that the only difference between academic and the normal version is that the academic version version is a non-upgradable version. But I don't believe this. I believe that you have to buy the standard version to get the full features. Could someone one tell me this is not so.

The academic version is Functionally 100% exactly the same. There are no differences feature wise.
The only difference is you can't use an upgrade with that serial #.

Uninstalling Academic version of Logic Express

I have an academic copy of Logic express on my Macbook pro and retail version on my iMac. I purchased Logic Pro 8 upgrade and just found out I can only upgrade my retail version. Any ideas on how to uninstall the Academic version from my Macbook Pro so I can install Logic Pro on my newer machine? I have tried trashing(to uninstall) the academic version and using the "upgrade" install feature from my retail disk. I have done this twice and after upgrading from the retail LE disks, I still see the academic splash screen. I haven't reid, but assume I won't be able to upgrade since the screen still indicates "academic". What files do I have to remove to rid my Macbook Pro of its Academic license assumption.
Digital Telecaster

So I don't REALLY know what I'm talking about, but my understanding is that when you install the Logic Pro 8 upgrade, you just need to put in the serial number of your Logic Express during the installation process. I'm just wondering if you even need to mess with trying to install LE on your MBP. What happens if you just do the LP install and put in your retail LE serial when prompted?
I'm curious to know, as I have an old version of LE which isn't installed, and I'm hoping I can use the serial for installation without actually installing LE on my machine.

I have an original logic academic version serial key, but when I enter it it is saying invalid serial key!!! Whats happening?, I have an original logic academic version serial key, but when I enter it it is saying invalid serial key!!! Whats happening?

I purchased an original Logic academic version, But now after the 9.1.3 upgrade it is rejecting my license key!!! Any help!!

I'm not 100% sure on an academic version's key but I don't think it should disallow an installation because it's been installed before. Are you sure you aren't flipping zeros 0 and O's.
Your previous installtion is not on another machine in the same network is it?

Just purchased Logic Studio Academic Version off ebay. serial code is invalid. HELP!!!!

I just purchased Logic Studio (academic version) off ebay. It was only 200$. When i received it, it was factory sealed and everything, and had the serial number. However, when I entered the number it consistently gave me the "serial number is invalid". I know its not any problems with how I entered the code, because I checked all my 0's and O's and 1's and L's. I also entered it about 30 times. I'm kind of freaking out. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Or am i just screwed?....

Does the academic version of Labview 8.5 allow running AT MIO 16e-1 DAQ board?

I just bought the academic version of Labview 8.5. I have an AT MIO 16E-1 DAQ board. I have installed the Labview software. Then I installed the Legacy NiDAQ 7.4. I put in the board and MAX recognizes it. Windows detects the board twice. The first time is installs automatically. The second time there is an error.
I can't find the instrument driver/VIs in the Labview functions pallette for the AT MIO board.
Thanks.

Hello Test11111,
In order to use Traditional NI-DAQ devices in LabVIEW you need to know the device number as given in the Measurement and Automation Explorer. Unlike the IMAQ or NI-DAQmx devices, Traditional NI-DAQ devices do not auto-populate in the channel controls or constants. The good news is that if the device shows up in MAX and the test panel works there then your device is working properly.
There are some Traditional NI-DAQ example VIs available through the NI Example Finder. To access these examples open LabVIEW and go to Help» Find Examples... Then in the top left select Directory Structure; the "daq" folder contains all of the Traditional NI-DAQ examples organized by device and function (analog, digital or counter I/O).
I hope this helps, and please post back if you're still having trouble.
Cheers,
Brooks

Logic pro 7 academic version upgrade

I think this question has been asked multiple times in the previous posts so sorry if that is true. I was wondering if I could update my logic pro 7 academic version to logic pro 8? It says on the box that academic versions are not eligible for upgrades so I'm holding off from buying the upgrade to logic pro 8. So do I have to buy the whole complete logic pro 8 package?
Bye for now

Here is my story... I bought Logic Pro 7 Academic at the beginning of '05 when it was still 500 dls. Later I bough the update to 7.2. for 50 dls. Last week I went to the Apple store and bought the Logic Pro 8 upgrade for 200 dls because the sales rep told me I could upgrade from the academic version. I don't know what to do with the upgrade I bought now that I know I can't use it, plus I already opened the box. With all the money invested in this software Apple should get me a retail copy of LP8 for free! (in my dreams)...
