FCP asks for serial number after OSX 10.5.4 install.

We're using a dual PPC desktop Mac with FC Pro. Under OSX 10.3.9, worked fine. Installed OSX 10.5.4 and now, every time we open FCPro, it asks for a serial number as though it was just installed.
How can we stop this happening?

  • 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

  • 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 now asks for serial number after last update but app store doesn't provide one. What to do?

    After my latest update Aperture now asks for a serial number.
    This is a little strange as when you buy it from the app store you don't get one.
    Well not one you can see.
    So now can't use it. 
    What am I supposed to do?

  • Asked for serial number after migration to new computer

    I did a migration to a new MacBook pro from my old iMac and now Aperture is asking me for the serial number.
    I thought using the Apple migration would take care of the complete migration.
    This is the only SW that I have noticed that have this issue. All other of my licensed SW is working just fine after the migration.
    Suggestions?
    / Christer

    Enter the serial number. Not all software magically transfers serial numbers.

  • Creative Suite 6 now asking for serial number after minor updates

    I bought the full version of Creative Suite 6 on release.
    Just recently after installing some (but in typical Adobe fashion not all) updates, apps from the suite start up by saying that I am in a 30 day trial!
    I have to then press the license button and reenter my serial number.
    This never happened prior to the last few weeks.
    I tried asking about it on the online chat since Adobe's phone lines are jammed.
    This was very much like talking to a wall.
    Is this happening to anyone else?
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Yep, me too - there's a thread about this here too...

    2 out of our 4 iMacs running CS6 are reverting to trial status every morning - despite saying it's accepted the serial number properly, up it pops the next day again! Doesn't just affect Photoshop CS6, we had the same message after launching Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 too. Must be one of these updates that popped up last week, I do wish Adobe tested these things properly before rolling them out to paying customers!!
    SORT IT OUT, ADOBE!!!

  • CS3 Suddenly asking for serial number after 2 years of use.

    I have been using CS3 for two years on a daily basis and suddenly it is asking me to input my serial number as if I was installing it for the first time.  When I input my serial number it says it is invalid.  I am unable to access any application in CS3.  Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it.  This is my job.  I need access to the software that I paid for.

  • Asking for Serial Number after Apple Remote Desktop package installation.

    Hello guys,
    I just finish making a package of Sketchup 6, it works fine and everything but is asking me to enter the serial number and this is after i have already enter the serial number before i made the package......correct me if I'm wrong but i thought that when u make the package it would keep that information, I know i copy all the files and checked the permissions many times so I'm not sure what is it that I'm doing wrong, can anyone help me pls and thank you in advance.
    ~X

    Some software keeps it's serial number in a hidden file that can be very difficult to locate. If you're not including that file in the package, that would explain the problem. You might want to ask the developer of the product about this; they might be able to help you with a workaround.

  • Acrobat Pro asks for serial number after update while being part of CS4 package

    Hello, frustrating: I installed CS4 on a new Mac as the old one wasn't fast enough anymore. I deactivated the package (Master collection) on the old one, and activated it on the new one.
    Everything works fine. Then there was Adobe updater, updating Acrobat pro. No problem.
    But when it launches, it asks for a serial number. And my CS 4 number doesn't work on this. Weird, it seems the Acrobat pro isn't linked to the master collection anymore ? But we did nothing
    with the software, just ran the update as suggested by Adobe updater.
    PLEASE HELP! as we cannot use Acrobat Pro now and we need to use it!!!
    thanks

    Hi,
    I suppose you have installed Creative Cloud Desktop App, or Latest Adobe Application Manager (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773).
    You can also try following steps:
    Launch the product
    On Trial Screen click on License this software
    On Sign in Screen, click on “Not My Adobe ID” (if displayed), else click on signin (do this even if it shows a valid ID).
    Sign in with your Adobe Id
    Software should now be lincensed.
    Can you please share your adobeID and mail oobelib.log and amt3.log from %temp% on Windows, or /tmp in Mac, if it is still not working to [email protected]

  • Install OS Updates, then FCP asks for serial number.

    Since i'm the one who originally installed and entered the serial number and have projects saved, Im wondering if I can somehow get beyond the box that prompts for my name and serial number. Why is FCP so ignorant to software updates? How do they not know that sometimes software updates occur? . i did not install a new OS system, I just selected the option to install and restart when computer told me to. I'm out of the country working and those materials are back home.
    How do i get by this? I don't want to hear that I need the serial number in order to open the program. It has to be logged or saved somewhere where i can retrieve it since I've been opening it everyday for months. Please help ASAP.

    In the interest of supporting other users who may come across your thread while searching the forum with a similar issue, please post your solution.

  • Launching Photoshop CC from dock asks for serial number [was:what is this?]

    What is this? I just want to use photoshop on my laptop using the same license I use for my desktop. Please help

    Hi.
    photoshop CC
    Laptop = OSX 10.8.5
    Desktop = OSX 10.8.5
    Launching photoshop from dock. It asks for serial number. I enter serial number copied directly form my account with adobe.
    Error says "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC."
    I'm confused as to why Photoshop worked before on my laptop but now it does not. Did something expire? Do I need a separate serial number for a different computer (ie. my laptop). I don't understand.
    Thanks.

  • Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

    I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

    I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line.  There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password.  That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
    I am now on line and happy.  Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for 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.
