How do I determine whether a serial number is still good?

I have two serial numbers for Final Cut Studio, and one of them has been used. How do I determine which number is still good without installing the software?

You can't. The only way you can tell if a serial number is already used is if you try to launch FCP and another machine on the same network already has FCP open with the same SN.  If the other machine isn't on...or not on the network, then FCP will launch fine. This is how you can install one copy of FCP with one SN onto two machines...a tower and a laptop...but use only one at a time...per the license agreement.

    Find your serial number quickly
    You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past.  The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box.  If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

  • My computer was stolen, how can I track down a serial number?

    Hi All-
    I'm in need of some assistance.  My Mac was stolen during an apartment burglary.  It was a gift from a family member who doesn't have any type of receipt.  I apparently didn't register my Mac either, my iPad and iPod yes, my stolen laptop of course not.  My insurance company is requesting the serial number or some sort of proof of ownership.  Any ideas how I can track down the serial number? 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Have the family member who made the gift contact the place of purchase if possible. Most business records of computer sales have info like serial numbers

  • How to change the status of Serial number

    Hi Experts,
    Would you please help in solving this problem.
    How to change the status of Serial number?
    I have material stock in a storage location: recieved from Intercompany through outbound delivery, when PGIed material document is created when I am checking the serial numbers of the recieved ones status of the serial numbers are ESTO, I want that into AVLB.
    How can we do that?
    Regards
    Sri

    Hi,
    Go to IQ02 on Header tool bar you will find edit(2nd option on header tool bar) => edit manually=> Click from Customer=> and then to Stock you will find the expected results...
    Generally Serial number Status use to change along with the movement of material linked with that serial number... So if you are changing serial number with manual trasaction then please remove all the details from IQ02 like plant storage location Batch and master batch so that i will not provide you error while doing next transactions.

    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.

  • How do you add an additional serial number to TestStand logfile name?

    I have two boards that are tested as a pair and I would like to have the log name show both serial numbers for tracking purposes. The logfile name is currently set up to show the serial number of the mainboard.  I put the second serial number into a StationGlobal after it is scanned it in. How can I add the second serial number to the logfile name?
    Thanks

    Hi vocollect,
    I have found a Community Example that demonstrates how to modify the report name in Report Options. The pictures may not show exactly what you see If you are using TestStand 2012, but the steps are essentially the same. I hope this helps!

    Not very good office/employee management... but if you DID know who, and you had his/her Adobe ID, you could go to https://www.adobe.com/account.html for a list of activated programs
