Logic Express 8 License - 2 computers?

Is that possible to install the Logic Express in two iMac, one at home and one at the oficce?
Two iMacs instead of one desktop and one laptop.
I tried to find the terms a conditions of the license but any success...

Hi,
I asked the guys this at the apple store as I needed to buy it for business use - and they said the licensing restrictions are really open on this version and you don't have to buy two just one...
Hope that helps

Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
Not fair.

You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

How many computers can I install Logic Express on?

Simple question...can I buy one copy of Logic Express and install it on both my Macbook Pro and my new iMac when I get it? I can't see anywhere on Apple's site any info on the software product licences. I also need to know the same information for Final Cut express.

Christian,
Thanks for that, I was beginning to think I wouldn't get an answer to this question. I will be using only one of these computers for music production at a time so that will be fine. I will probably use the iMac at home and the Macbook Pro when away and I didn't want to have to buy two copies.

How many computers can I install Logic Express?

I'm wondering on how many of my current Macs I can install one license of Logic Express on.

Mac game loaded with logic express, now its asking me for license key

My macbook came loaded with logic express 3 years ago, been working completely fine. Until today, where upon opening it asks me for the registration key which, if I don't, will not allow me to use the program. I don't have a registration key because I didn't purchase the software separately, and why it is asking for it now (after 3 years of usage) is beyond me.
Thoughts?

You should have the key with your documentation & install disk. However, if you haven't got it with your MB, call apple support. They are the only ones who can help you.

Can you install logic express on more than one computer

can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac.
Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

If I buy Logic pro, how many computers can I install it on?

if I buy Logic pro, how many computers can I install it on? will the spp-store let me download again if get new computer?

The license agreement for the DVD version of Logic is different... and only allows for you to install it on two computers (Specifically one desktop and one laptop) In additiont you are supposed to only actually run Logic on one of them at a time and not both at the same time...
So in your instance, you should, according to your license agreement, remove Logic from your older Macbook in order to install it on your new MacBook Pro....
However, if I were you, I would contact Apple to confirm this as there is some discussion as to if this license agreement is still in force or if Logic, once it is updated via the App Store Update routines in Mountain Lion, then is covered by the App Store agreement which allows unlimited installs of Logic Pro on any computer you own...
It's a very grey area... and there is nothing stopping you from installing Logic on all three Macs except for that license agreement as the physical check that used to be present in Logic Pro, to prevent you using it on more than one Mac at a time, was removed a while back... so read into that, what you will.
Again, to be absolutely sure, legally speaking, contact Apple and ask them for guidance... (and if possible get it in writing from them, if they give you the go ahead to install and use Logic Pro on a third computer)

Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
Thanks
Rounik

Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?

Uninstalling Academic version of Logic Express

I have an academic copy of Logic express on my Macbook pro and retail version on my iMac. I purchased Logic Pro 8 upgrade and just found out I can only upgrade my retail version. Any ideas on how to uninstall the Academic version from my Macbook Pro so I can install Logic Pro on my newer machine? I have tried trashing(to uninstall) the academic version and using the "upgrade" install feature from my retail disk. I have done this twice and after upgrading from the retail LE disks, I still see the academic splash screen. I haven't reid, but assume I won't be able to upgrade since the screen still indicates "academic". What files do I have to remove to rid my Macbook Pro of its Academic license assumption.
Digital Telecaster

So I don't REALLY know what I'm talking about, but my understanding is that when you install the Logic Pro 8 upgrade, you just need to put in the serial number of your Logic Express during the installation process. I'm just wondering if you even need to mess with trying to install LE on your MBP. What happens if you just do the LP install and put in your retail LE serial when prompted?
I'm curious to know, as I have an old version of LE which isn't installed, and I'm hoping I can use the serial for installation without actually installing LE on my machine.

How to identify Logic Express 7 retail vs. academic.

I wondered if there is a definitive way of determining whether a copy of Logic Express 7 is the ugradeable "retail" version or the academic version. My copy says "retail" on the CD package and does not have academic on the splash screen My local apple store says they cannot tell unless I have the price from the original invoice (which is long lost). I am looking to upgrade to Logic Studio.

Then you +do not+ have the Academic license, you have the Retail.

I want to sell my copy of Logic Express. How do I deauthorize/deregister it?

How do I deauthorize or de-register my copy of Logic Express to sell it?
Is that even allowed by the software license?

Did it come with Lion on it when it was new? If not you will have to do what is discribed above except you must Repartition the drive as one partition, not just erase the Machintosh HD partition, and then reinstall the original shipping version of OS X. The reason to Repartition as one partition it to remove the Lion Recovery HD partition. You shouldn't leave that on the system.
If it came with Lion poreinstalled when new just use the recovery HD partition or the online Internet recovery system to erase the drive and reinstall Lion OS X. To use either of those at startup hold down the Command+r keys, For the built in Recovery HD, or Command+Option+r keys (And hold them down until you see a globe on the screen) for the online Recovery system.

Logic Express - Logic Pro

Hi guys. I purchased my MacBook Pro + Logic Express around 2 years ago. I heard a rumour recently that because i bought Logic Express i can now upgrade to Logic Pro for free via the App Store. Is this true? or am i being really gullible/hopeful?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't upgrade to Logic Pro for free. If you open the App Store and try to download Logic Pro, you will see that it will charge you the cost of the application. Also, note that the license of applications bought in a DVD can't be transferred to the Mac App Store without purchasing them

Since logic express is discontinued, can i get the updates from logic pro for free?

logic pro was recently priced at 199, effectively replacing logic express. it seems as though apple should allow logic express users to get the additional functionality of logic pro withought buying the entire product again.

@Blueberry - lol I wonder if you'll sing the same tune if they discontinue logic pro and then force you to buy "logic studio" for $500 (current price 2012). See this guy's comment on the product page of the online store:
"I have been producing music on logic since before Apple acquired it from the previous developer.
I purchased Logic Pro 7 from Apple for $1000, and i have since spent another $500+ in "upgrades" to get to the current format of logic Pro 9. Shortly after my reluctant upgrade from 8 to 9, Apple released a promotional price of $300 for the entire program. That is just a little more than I paid to upgrade. Still no discount for upgrades though. In short loyal long time customers have now paid over $1,500.00 to get a $300 program. A slight kick in the pants for its Pro oriented customers. As a pro user you can add 7 computers, 4 iphones, 3 ipads and some ipods to that shopping cart as well.
In that time I have watched Apple drop Key production features out of Logic in order to make room for programming codes that dumb down the DAW interface and create undesired glitches within the frame of what was an excellent platform from Emagic.
Now that Mac has solidified its abandonment of the professional grade market by dropping the mac pro and pretty much all R&D for Logic as well, I find myself more and more disappointed with logics performance. Another product that has let go of functionality for aesthetics.
I have, in fact, spent well over 40 hours reverting and reformatting my system back to Snow Leopard (very difficult as Mac firmware no longer supports reverse compatibility) but also reverting logic to a version of LP9 that is stable within that operating system. I had to do this as there is no version of LP9 that works properly in any operating system after SL.
OS 10.6.8 + Logic 9.1.6/7 is the most stable combo that will run on intel based Mac. Trust me.. I tried the rest. I would prefer to go back to logic pro 7 but once again No reverse compatibility.
Hopefully the 2software developers... Yes two... still working on logic will at least make it stable again so we can finish our mixes and move to another software manufacturer.
Sorry Mac but after years of total loyalty you left me and the Professional market out in the cold."
So - I already paid about $200 for logic express and now I have to pay $200 more for something I never wanted?

Question about Selling Logic Express 9

I gave my macbook pro away as a gift and am now going to sell Logic Express 9.
I realize I won't get much for it, but how do I go about selling this regarding registry transfer?
thanks for any help!

You can start by checking the EULA (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf), but basically you just need to make sure that LE9 is deleted from the MacBook Pro and you give all the installation discs, manuals, and serial numbers to the buyer. This is the proper, legal way to do it.
Registration is optional and doesn't really play any legal role in purchasing or transferring a license. Having said that, if you have registered LE9 and the buyer tries to register it after purchasing from you, Apple will have questions. If you think the buyer will want to register LE9 then you will have to call Apple support to confirm the sale & transfer. Again, registration is optional and not required for a legal sale/transfer of a license (as long as you delete your copy).
