How do I re-install Logic with a new registration?

I purchased my friends G4 which already has his Logic 8 software installed. I own Logic 7 with the dongle as well as the Logic 8 upgrade. I would like to change the registration from his to my codes so that I am eligible for software updates.
Is there an easy way to change the registration short of re-installing the entire Logic 8 package?
If I must re-install the entire package will my key commands/3rd party plugins be overwritten?
My computer is a dual 1.42GHz G4 with Leopard

Thanks for the tips. I actually found serial reset thread and got Logic 8 re-installed yesterday with the proper serial.
As for the performance of Logic 8 in Leopard, setting all of the problems and functional idiosyncrasies of Logic 8 aside the dual 1.42 G4 is doing well on the medium sized projects I've used it for, including a handful of commercial spots and 3 songs for a Disney TV series. I get a lot more performance out of L7 in Tiger, and I still use L7 for any work where I have a client present but I love the new look of L8 (and the transpose up/down 1 octave key command!) so it's hard to go back. I especially don't want to go back because I know the Emagic guys are hard at work in Germany on the next rev of Logic, and it will only get better and better.
I have four 17 space racks filled with midi and outboard gear , external mixer, etc., so I'm using a ton of midi with about 25-30 tracks of audio per project. On my big projects I have to freeze tracks even in L7.
If I was not such a dinosaur and went totally in the box I would need a much faster computer.
I hope that answers your question.

  • How can I install logic 9 on new mac 10.8

    how can I install logic 9 on new macBook pro 10.8?
    My Cd rom shows Logic 7 and on the old mashine (MacBook white 10.6) I have Logic pro 9.
    My MacBook pro 10.8 does't accept the Cd Rom...

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....

    Yes
    The licence details depend on how you originally purchased Logic. The original (DVD) licence allows for you to have Logic installed on 2 computers, provided that you do not use both at the same time.
    The Appstore Licence allows you to install on any computer that you own. See this article for a simple guide

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such a reason.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

  • How do you clean install CS6 on a new PC Win7 64bit system?

    How do you clean install CS6 on a new PC Win7 64bit system?
    I think I've upgraded all th way from Version 7.

    There is no problem. If no previous, activated software is detected on the system, the upgrade installer will simply revert to its secondary mode and request to input the old serial in a second step for verification. Unless you do some exotic crossgrade/ sidegrade stuff, this should work with no problems whatsoever.

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

  • How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

    I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
    I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
    I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
    Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
    Thanks so much!!!!!!

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
