Final cut serial number

How can I find original serial number for final cut studio? I am reinstalling upgrade on a ssd.

It should be on stickers located in or on the box or installation instruction manual.
You will need the serials for the original Full Retail and the Upgrade.

Machine suddenly asks for Final Cut serial number and won't recognise it -

I apologise that I havent posted for almost two years, and praise Shane Ross and the others who give their time so generously. Please could anyone help me? On my MacBook Pro 17" bought just 3 months ago I first installed Final Cut Studio, an upgrade version and it worked sweet on Tiger. I then installed Leopard and upgraded this past weekend to 10.5.2 , dashed out the door in Johannesburg to work in Dubai where client wants edits and DVDs. But when I attempt to open FCP or DVD Studio Pro I get a request for the serial number. It wont recognise the 5.1 original we had before the upgrades, when I get hold of an upgrade number it tells me thats an upgrade put the full one in. I have spent the day calling South African staff and pals there - what a fortune I've spent - and they have given me various serial numbers but no joy. My dealer is trying to get me a Final Cut Studio full pack number ...is it poss that Leopard has caused this, or Time Machine? Has anyone else experineced this issue, I'm pretty desperate and tomorrow if I aint fixed it I will have no choice but to buy another ( third!) copy of Final Cut, the full one in the hope that will enable me to work...
So grateful for your input
Pls ignore system info beneath, when I try to upgrade it site crashes...

Hi Bogiesan
thanks sincerely for responding. I first got serial numbers from the boxes at my office by calling them as you kindly suggested. It was only when they didnt work that I got my dealer to try full package serial numbers for later versions - the serial number for a full pack at our office, the latest one, was for 5.1, so I got a serial number for first version of studio, and for studio 2. both not working. I see Zak recommends repair permissions, I wil;l try that...I have also for the **** of it taken the macbook pro's battery out while I come down here to hotel business centre to use the net...because I am not with the machine I cant accurately answer your question re versions...but I do know that this past weekend I updated all software over the net...so if I recall the FCP is on 6.0.2 and Quick Time up in the 7.4s? But tghe very latest from Apple...
Its morning here in Dubai and shortly if nothing solved heading off for the local Apple Center, full of trepidation, cos metyhinks you and Zak probably know more than the guys there...

Final Cut Serial number not recognized on Apple website

Hello,
When I try to log into the apple site to get the pro applications update for FC Studio, the system gives me this error message:
"The serial number you entered is not valid. See the materials that came with your product for the correct serial number. Use uppercase letters when entering your serial number."
I have tried every combination (dashes, no dashes, etc.) and I still cannot log in. I have already registered my version of FCP with Apple and cannot find any clear way to contact a human being at Apple to discuss this problem.
My friend is also having this problem and he just bought Final Cut Studio 3.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Make sure you're interpreting zeros and Os correctly. If the SN has an uppercase o and you enter a zero, it will not accept it and vice versa. Unfortunately, Apple uses a sans serif font for the SN, which makes it difficult to differentiate certain characters.
You can call AppleCare at 1-800-APL-CARE and explain your problem. Maybe if you offered to fax your serial number page from the FCS package, it would help. That's what I did for a support client of mine one time.

Why is osx lion is requesting my final cut serial number

CS6 Serial Number not valid on any Computer

Hey there! :-)
I hope that somebody here can help me with a little problem concerning the key of my CS6 Extended. Recently, I got a new PC, so I deinstalled cs6 on my old one (the version I have is only for 1 PC). I tried to install it on the new PC then. Unfortunately, the key was invalid. Afterwards I searched a solution for the problem. The Support site told me to reinstall cs6 on the old pc and deactivate it manually via the application itself (Help > Deactivate > Deactivate Serial Number on this Computer). I wanted to do this, but then the key was also invalid on the old computer. That means I'm not able to deactivate any Key.
So finally: The Serial Number I've got is invalid on both Computers! Now I can't use Ps Cs6 anymore. If some of you already know this problem, please let me know what I can do.

only an adobe employe can help you with a serial number problem. i can tell you that almost everyone that has a serial number problem reads the explanation in that message 1 link and just skips right past the answer to their problem.
for example, your serial may be correct but unless you're using cds to install and you only own one adobe product, you're probably using the wrong installation file(s). of course i don't know that's true and that's why you need to contact adobe.

Final Cut Studio - no access to Updates..

hello,
I installed my copy of Final Cut Studio it runs well (except Motion2) but if I try to upgrade it to the latest FCS 1 version of the software the installer on the website asks me for my Apple ID - but I dont know which one I used for installing my company software - it's for sure not my personal Apple ID.
so how can I get info about the company Apple ID name that i might have used whe installing it originally?
please let me know - I still have to use FCP 5.0.1 - and there is a software update available even for FInal Cut Studio (not the 2nd version of it)
Please let me know - thnkas,
roman

Your Apple ID is the same one you use to log on to these discussions.
You enter that first to get access.
Then you need your Final Cut Studio number to download.
Have you tried using "Software Update" ?

Final Cut Studio 2 won't except my old serial number, what should I do?

Final Cut Studio 2 installation software reports invalid serial number when I enter my serial number from Final Cut Studio.
What am I doing wrong?
My Final Cut Studio is an upgrade from an older version of Final Cut. Can I upgrade an upgrade?
My computer is not connected to the internet, is this a problem?
Please HELP!

You don't need an internet connection to install Final Cut Studio.
You will be asked to register the software, but you don't have to do this. Although a reminder to register will pop up about every 4th or 5th time the software is opened.
When you use upgrade serial numbers, you usually get a warning that you need the number from a full licensed copy. Enter that and then the new serial that came with the upgrade.

Is there any way to still upgrade from final cut 5 to final cut 7 using my original serial number?

Hi there,
I had my macbook pro 15inch(2010 model) stolen a week ago. I was running on Snow Leopard, and I used Final Cut 5.
I am a bit out of touch with how much the technology and upgrades have changed (don't chastise me for it!), and have discovered that any new laptop I buy will come with the Mavericks operating system, which obviously won't allow my FCP5 to run.
I have also been told that I can't simply upgrade to a newer version of FCP, but that I would have to purchase the entire suite again, and that would mean purchasing FCPX, which I would prefer not to buy because of all the changes that it brought to the program.
First of all, is it standard procedure to have to purchase entire suites all over again once each new version is brought out? I was under the impression that once purchased, you could upgrade, seeing as you had made the commitment of spending the money in the first place. Apologies if this is a terribly daft question, but I would appreciate the assistance!
Secondly, if I don't want to upgrade to FCPX, does anyone know if there is a way to still upgrade to FCP7, either by purchasing it or updating it using my serial number details from FCP5? I bought it legitimately and I'm trying to find out if there is a way to avoid spending thousands all over again!
Your help would be appreciated:)

It been a while, but I believe you just need the serial number of FC 5 for the FCS 3 installer. If I were you, I would verify that over at the Final Cut Studio forum before purchasing the update disks.
I just checked Amazon and there is a $600 difference in the update and full versions; they list (one) unopened upgrade boxed set at $795 while an unopened set of the full version currently is proced at $1295 (a $300 premium over the price Apple used to charge!).
Something you might want to ponder: the question of how much to invest in a suite of software that is no longer being supported by Apple. Even though I'm able to run FCP 7 and its related apps largely without issues on Mavericks, who knows how long or well that will work in the future?
Also, if you're at all curious about whether the changes you mentioned in FCP X are value-added or not, you can always download the trial version and find out first hand. If you do, invest a little time with some of a few tutoirals offered by by a variety of highly regarded FCP X intructors. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Good luck.

I had final cut express 4 already installed on my new macbook but can't open it because it is asking for my serial number which is on the disc. I've put it in with and without dashes and dots and it won't accept it. What do I do?

I had final cut express 4 already installed on my new macbook pro at the shop but I'm trying to open it up and it wants my serial number. I've typed in the number on the disc labelled 'product serial number' but it won't accept it. The number has lots of dots and dashes in it and I've tried typing these as well, but to no avail. What can I do?

You do need the dashes.
Also double check that O & 0, I & 1 are not being confused.
The serial no. pretty much follows a three numbers then three letters approach.

After installing some updates on final cut pro 7 is asking me to enter my first and last names plus serial number which i dont have. how do i go about this?

After intalling some updates for Final cut, I m asked to put my first and last names and serial number which unfortunatelt i do not have. how do i go about this?

To add to what BenB advised, make sure you have proof of purchase when you call Apple for a replacement serial number.
For future reference, it is a good idea to keep all software serial numbers in a database or text document. Considering the cost of the software, keeping a list of serial numbers can come in very handy at times like this.

Final Cut Studio Keeps Asking For Serial Number

I use an imac. I currently use final cut studio 3. After approx. 2 maybe 3 weeks the software will stop working. It boots up to the registration screen. I will enter my name and the orginal serial number but it tells me the serial number is not valid. What is causing this and how can I prevent? If I unload software and reload, it works but will kick me out again after uses.

Go to the following location: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Pro Apps.
Delete the file Final Cut Studio System ID.
The next tme you launch one of the apps it will ask for your serial number - hopefully for the last time.
If it happens again, something is causing that file to be corrupted, probably by writing its own data there.
Try the above anyway, it might just stick this time.

HT200276 HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO

HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO ???

It's on the back of the installation booklet. If you've lost that, and have some proof of purchase, it can probably be sorted out by contacting Apple.

Release product serial number for final cut studio

i bought an imac. gonna take it back. installed final cut studio. how can i unlock the key for the next computer? do i have to contact apple to release it?

You can uninstall all of the FCS components from the iMac before you return it by using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
When you install FCS on the new computer, use the serial number that was included with the FCS package - it is on stickers affixed to the front cover of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software."
