Aperture Serial Number Location

Can anyone please help...
I have had Aperture V 1.5.3 installed for over a year on my computer, when i updated to mac OS X 10.5.4, Aperture would no longer open. It displayed "you cannot use this version of the application aperture with this version of Mac OS X". To update to Aperture v 1.5.6 (or whatever the new one is), is easy enough... however, my problem lies with my serial number. I do not have the CD casing with the serial number stickers.
Aperture is already installed. Is it possible to find the serial number somewhere on my computer? or do i have to call apple?
can someone please tell me if it is possible to locate already installed application (aperture) serial numbers from within your computer?
Thank you
please help

Any success? I have the same issue with a text edit file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<key>fName</key>
<string>.</string>
<key>fOrg</key>
<string> </string>
<key>lName</key>
<string> .</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Otherwise, how do I downgrade back to 10.5.3?
Thanks!

  • Asked for Aperture serial number every single time

    After re-installing Aperture on a new hard disk (the old one failed), I was asked for Aperture serial number every time I open the software.  How can I stop it? (iMac 2009, OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.1)

    You may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
    In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

    Serial number location other than disk drive door.

    Do you want your Mac's serial number? What model Mac? Click on the Apple in the top menu & select About This Mac. Then select More Info. The Serial number should be in the window that opens.

  • Where is my aperture serial number?

    I'm getting a prompt for my name and Aperture serial number from installation.   I bought Aperture from the App store and have none of the packaging the prompt asks me to check.   What's up?   After two years of using this application I now can't get at my photos.

    If you bought from the Mac App Store, the one you access using the App Store.. app then there is no serial number. The app authorizes with your Apple ID and should never ask for a serial number.
    If you bought it from the Apple on-line store which you access via the web browser then you would have been sent a serial number by email when you downloaded Aperture.
    If yu have been using the app for two years what circumstanses are causing you to need to be installing it now? Have you had a drive replaced or got a new system?  Any information you can supply will make it more likely that someone will be able to help.

  • Aperture serial number does not work

    I just got a Mac Book Air, my Aperture Serial number does not work. it tells me it is not correct. How can I use my software now?

    First how did you purchase Aperture and how did you install it on the Air? As the Air does not have a DVD drive it would help to know how you got the app onto it.
    Start with Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers and see if that helps.
    There is also Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers if you're not able to get your serial number working.

  • HT2584 Serial Number Location Mac Pro Notebook

    The Mac Pro is a 65lb tower computer. Its serial number location is correctly indicated in the article you cited.

  • How do I locate my aperture serial number?

    After installing Aperture 3 following a hard drive failure I can't remember where the serial number is located on the packaging. Anyone know?

    I know this doesn't help in your current situation, but it's a good practice. I keep a text file with all the serial numbers for all my software, and I type every one of them twice to make sure I have them typed in correctly.  I can pull up the serial number from Aperture 1.1 or Photoshop CS1. This is important because some vendors want your "legacy" serial number when you upgrade.  While I doubt that Adobe will ask for my CS1 serial at this point, I can show proof of ownership dating back to 2000 if there is ever a question.  Of course, this file has multiple backups.

  • Aperture Serial Number Issues

    I opened Aperture for the first time in quite a while today & it asked me to enter my serial number, which is curious, because it has worked for me on several occasions prior. I am shooting on location today, so I called my office, had someone read me\text me (like 14 times) the number - every time I enter it Aperture claims it's invalid.
    I followed the advice in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2001381
    And still I can't open Aperture. Any ideas?

    anyone have an idea about this issue this morning?
    Are you sure they were reading you the serial # for Aperture v2? Also, if you upgraded v1 to v2, then it might ask you for your version 1 key as well as your version 2 key.
    Another option: If you've got system backups, the serial numbers are encoded and stored in a file called "/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Aperture System ID"
    (tip for anyone else reading this, put the serial numbers into a text file and save in your Documents folder. Just in case something ever decides to erase them, or ask for them again.)
    I understand that 'illegitimate' serial numbers have been known to be invalidated by ProKit updates, but I'd be surprised if a legitimate one has got nobbled in this way - unless someone leaked yours.

  • How can I change an Aperture serial number?

    I loaded Aperture on a second machine and to be able to run both at the same time I need a second license. No problem there, especially with the price drop. However, how or where do I enter the newly purchased serial number?
    Thanks, Peter

    I own Logic Studio and have already had it loaded but changed the drive for a bigger drive and have to reload it. I have registered the software before and now that i have to load it again, can't find the serial number card or book or whatever came with it. Is there a way to retrieve a serial number from Apple? I don't find a link to do that...

  • Aperture Serial Number

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro.   I used the migration assistant and transferred all data from a Time Machine backup.   Everything seems to be working just fine except for Aperture.  It wants a serial number.   I still have my old computer so I opened Aperture, found the serial number and input it.   Aperture says that it needs the original serial number (Aperture 2), not the uprgrade (Aperture 3).    This apparently is only found on the original Aperture 2 box.  That box is in storage in another state.  I spoke to an Aperture specialist at Apple Support.  They said there was nothing that they could do, and that I would have to access that box in storage.  
    THIS IS ABSURD!!!   I have all Apple products and programs.  I have a cloud membership, everything is purchased and registered.  Why would Apple make it so difficult for me to use a product that I've already paid for and registered.?!    Of course they have my serial number on file somewhere, otherwise how could they validate that I was using the correct one?    What's the point of purchasing and registering the product if Apple can't even help me in a situation like this.  I just paid $1700 to Apple for new computer.  I want to be able to use the Apple programs that I've also already paid for.

    You're not really asking a question and your tone is a  off putting especially as you are talking to other users here and not Apple, but its December so what the heck
    Have a look at Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers for what you need to do to get a replacement serial number.
    In the past Apple has been very good at helping folk out getting Aperture going again. But if your attitude on the phone is anything like your attitude here good luck.
