After Waves install, Logic asking for serial number unless xsKey plugged in

I installed Logic Studio and have been using it without dongle. After installing Waves Gold bundle and going through super paranoid copy protection maneuver, Logic now needs the xsKey dongle to run. Otherwise it asks for new serial number, then the original SN, which is of course the xsKey you must insert to proceed.
Does anyone know what needs to be done to correct this, short of dumping the Waves stuff and starting all over again?
Help!

It's unlikely to be Waves related I think. I'm running iLok Waves plugins here in LP8 without my XSkey connected. Waves has nothing to do with the XSkey, it either uses hard disk authorisation (old plugs) or iLoks (current plugs).
It sounds to me more like the Logic installation is screwy, if it's forgotten it's authorised. Try running some disk utils and verifying permissions, and if no joy, rerunning the Logic install and reauthorise.

  • Logic asks for serial number every time I start it...

    Hi,
    I've just reinstalled Logic Studio and it asks me for a serial number every time I start up Logic Pro if I don't have the old XS key inserted.
    It's the upgrade version and in the past i've just needed to insert the XS Key at installation, not evey time I use it.
    I'm using Logic Pro (lastest update) with Lion which Apple says is supported.
    Can anyone help?

    I had this issue when I upgraded. I resolved it by inserting the key before I started the upgrade and left it in there and then valdidate it with the serial. After that it never asked for the key again. If this is not working you might want to contact support and they probably provide a new serial key.

  • Can't access Adobe After Effects CC - being asked for serial number

    Hi there,
    I've just spent an hour on a very slow customer chat box, and then it cut off.
    The guy gave me one suggestion: delete the database file from AppData > Local > Adobe > OOBE
    It didn't work.
    So, I'm not sure what to do. I can't access my product as it keeps asking for a serial number, but I'm on CC so I don't have one, as far as I know.
    Very frustrating.
    I appreciate any help you could provide.

  • Problem installing CC - asking for serial number.

    Hello!
    I recently purchased CC and download it to a temporary laptop (until mine returns from apple lab). I now got my laptop back, downloaded the programs but I'm unable to open them without it asking for a serial number. It also notes that it's a trial version, even-thoughI'm singed in.
    Please help...
    Thanks!

    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

  • ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

    Hello All,
    I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number...  Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
    Many Thanks in Advance!
    App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

    Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
    1. Launch the App Store app
    2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
    3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
    4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
    5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
    6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
    7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
    8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
    9. Click "Install"
    After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

  • I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

    Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
    Regards
    Jason

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.
