Final CUt Studio 2 will not run on my Mac Pro & Macbook Pros simultaneously

I was under the impression that the licensing contract for FCPS2 allowed for the software to be installed and run on a desktop and a portable machine simultaneously. Am I wrong? I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 legally, and have installed it on my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro, but if I try to open one of the FCS apps while one is running on the other computer, I get a protection error message and have to shut down the app. Does anyone know a workaround to this other than shutting off airport on one of the machines?

Yes, you are wrong.
The license allows for the installation of a copy on each machine but they can not run simultaneously. The intention is to allow users to work with a laptp while away from the main editing machine. If you need the capability running two copies at the same time, buy another copy.
Good luck,

  • Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?

    Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?  If not, is there a work-around if I have to revisit work done in FCS 3?

    I have it running on the latest NON-Retina MBP. And a good friend of mine has it running on his Retina model. Works fine.

    If you need to revisit them...that's why you install FCS3.  That's really the only reason I have that on my system, to revisit old projects, and to deal with clients who still use FCP 7.
    You really should look at moving on though...not sticking with FCP7. It's 4 years old...two years since it was EOL.  Adobe Premiere Pro CC is a very good FCP replacement...although I don't like their "rental" method of paying a subscription to use it.  Or you can buy Adobe CS6...but that just lacks enough to make it not quite tempting for me.  Premiere CC is spot on...but **** if I don't hate that subscription model.  But there's also Avid Media Composer.  But that doesn't do a lot of things that I used FCP and Adobe for...

  • Final Cut Studio 2 - not on Mac Mini?

    I moved away from Mac towers around 12 months ago as I just didn't need the power and the Mac Mini has served me well since then, even running Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro etc.
    However, a worrying section of the spec requirements for Final Cut Studio 2 is 'An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)'
    That basically means if you have a Mac Mini you are screwed, right? Therefore if I want to run Final Cut Pro 6 I need to get a tower? Crikey, that's bad news if that is the case...
    As an aside - why the **** don't Apple release a 'Mac Middle' - a mini tower with space for two Sata drives and perhaps a maximum of 4Gb and a single Core duo. That way the Mac Pro is protected for the high end but the pro apps are far more affordable and worthwhile on a cheaper platform. Just my 2p worth!

    Go to the individual applications page for detail and read the specs VERY closely. If it says it needs a video card or processor of a certain level - well - that's what it means. In years past, some hacks have been made but who knows if that is possible in the next generation. I certainly would not count on it.

  • What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro

    What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro that does not support power PC anymore

    You need to install Rosetta from a OSX 10.6 install disk.
    FCS2 is intel native, it is only the installer that requires PPC support.

  • Will Color run properly on a 2010 macbook pro 15 i7

    Will Color run properly on a 2010 macbook pro 15 i7.
    Color minimum display requirements are 1680-by-1050 resolution or higher; dual displays are highly recommended. The Macbook Pro 15 i7 comes with 1440 X 900.
    What does this means, I won't be able to run Color?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks!!

    You can always launch the application and see what happens. Otherwise we'd still all be banging rocks together and making grunting sounds.... oh, wait a minute.
    Anyway, a 15" 1440x900 won't be very much fun. There is a hack that will allow COLOR to run on a sub-requirement display, but it strains the system resources in a major way, plus the user interface does not scale -- all the radio buttons and dialogues will be almost unreadable. The other deal is that some on-board GPUs are not compatible with COLOR at all. Most laptops are nVidia, and there are other issues around that.
    FT/COLOR was designed with an absolute minimum 17" single screen (1920x1200) in mind, more preferably dual screen (DVI, not FireWire), one or both of which should be 23", and -- * to achieve useable productivity* -- dual screen plus an HD-SDI Video I/O card (eg Kona3) to display calibrated material on a grade monitor.
    That's who the developers originally had in mind, and priced the stand-alone offering accordingly.
    FTHD was $5K+, and the 2K version, which you now get packaged with FCS and is actually now capable of 4K, was around $27K+(support contract).

  • Working with Canon 5D MarkII H.264 Footage in Final Cut Studio - 5, Not 6

    I'm new to this whole posting thing, but I'm hoping I can get some help. I'm just now starting to try to edit video footage from my Canon 5D Mark II in Final Cut, but I do not have FCP6, I have FCP5. I'm starting to realize this may be a problem, as it does not seem to have any sort of 1080 30p setting for video.
    So...what I've done so far is to down convert to 720 p30 (I guess) using MPEG Streamclip, and then work with it that way. But I'm losing a lot of nice information, right? (Wrong?)
    Obviously, I'm very new to the whole HD thing, so please go easy on me. I'm just hoping that there is some way that I can edit the lovely 1080 30p footage in Final Cut Studio Version 5, and then output a looped 10 minute video via DVD Studio Pro.
    Anyone??
    I appreciate any guidance.
    - dawn

    Strangely, that is just not one of the options that shows up for me - I get the huge list, but no 1080p 30. In fact, no 30p anywhere to be found except for the 720 p30.
    I wonder if there is something I can download?
    I keep running into posts telling me I have to have version 6 - there MUST be something I can do in 5!! I hope, I hope...

  • Final cut studio does not load up

    I am running my final cut studio 5.1.2 on a macbook pro
    2.16ghz intel core duo. 2 gb of ram.
    My problem is that all of a sudden final cut does not launch, not even a splash screen. I simply click on either the project I am working on or from the appocation folder and does not even open up. I trashed my preference, repaired disk permission and even reinstalled. I all created a new user account and the same problem occurs. I wonder if I need to do a complete
    re-install, meaning wiping everthing out including dvd studio,motion,etc
    and then re-install. Any suggestions. I was currently working on a HD project
    when this happened.
    Also could there be something in the permisions folder or reciepts that I should be looking for? Please help I got a client coming in one day

  • Final Cut Studio 5 not updating in software update

    I have final cut studio 5, which I upgraded to from FCP4 through their update program and 199.00. When I run software update, no updates show up for any of the pro applications.
    When I had FCP4 on my old computer, the updates used to show up and I could install all of them directly from software update. I know that their are updates, cause I can manually download them off of the apple site, but they never show up in software update. does anyone know why this would be happening?
    Could it be a confliction due to some sort of registration issue? or does apple just not use software update as a means of updating the pro applications anymore? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I am running version 5.1 It just dawned on me that I have all of my pro apps in a folder called "final cut studio" does software update seach the applications folder to see if certain apps are installed, a if so, would this be why it isn't seeing it and not showing the updates?

  • Trying to install final cut studio and not recognizing serial number

    I am upgrading from final cut pro 5.1.4 with final cut studio 2. When I enter the studio 2
    serial number it asks me for my original serial number from 5.1.4 and it tells me it's not
    a valid serial number. I have checked over and over with my manual and the serial number
    on the software in the computer and it still says the same thing.
    Please help me thank you.

    Well we are not together anymore but he was my boyfriend at that time. He was trying to do something really nice without realizing many things about purchasing something like this.
