Logic pro 7 academic version upgrade

I think this question has been asked multiple times in the previous posts so sorry if that is true. I was wondering if I could update my logic pro 7 academic version to logic pro 8? It says on the box that academic versions are not eligible for upgrades so I'm holding off from buying the upgrade to logic pro 8. So do I have to buy the whole complete logic pro 8 package?
Bye for now

Here is my story... I bought Logic Pro 7 Academic at the beginning of '05 when it was still 500 dls. Later I bough the update to 7.2. for 50 dls. Last week I went to the Apple store and bought the Logic Pro 8 upgrade for 200 dls because the sales rep told me I could upgrade from the academic version. I don't know what to do with the upgrade I bought now that I know I can't use it, plus I already opened the box. With all the money invested in this software Apple should get me a retail copy of LP8 for free! (in my dreams)...

  • Really New Newbie!... Logic Pro Academic Version?

    I am a student at USC and I am looking into buying Logic Pro. They sell the academic version here for about $400. Now, what exactly is the academic version and how is it different? I heard that you might not be able to upgrade with it and you'd have to spend another grand to get the full version... HELP PLEASE!!!! Thanks...

    Hey Quinn welcome to the discussions
    EDU versions are the same functionality as full retail versions of the software however they are licensed to students and faculty at reduced prices for educational purposes
    as Apple locked the OTHER pro apps from having a EDU version as a starting point in a upgrade chain it is safe to assume that Logic will follow

  • Logic Pro Academic version demo period

    Hi guys,
    I've been helping out a school with the use of their logic pro setup and have come accross that they have 16 weeks left in the demo period for logic academic.
    They have purchased the full program and have the xskey plugged in and working fine, but apparently there is some other authorisation needed.
    Anyone else use the academic version and know about this?
    Cheers
    Dean

    It shouldbe fine. Its a bug with the Academic version. It might also ask you for authorization every now and then upon startup. Just quit and reopen. It works.

  • Logic Pro academic version

    Hey guys, I just purchased the logic studio and wanted to see how many times I can install it to my computers. I have a macbook and was planning to get a desktop which would be the primary user of the studio. I just don't want to put it on my macbook and not be able to put it on my desktop.
    Thanks for your help

    I just purchased the logic studio and wanted to see how many times I can install it to my computers.
    Two if one is a laptop and the other is a desktop, or one otherwise. It doesn't matter whether it's a regular or academic package.

  • After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding, do anyone have any ideas what problem it can be?

    After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding on certain moment, i tried to reinstall freshly and update to version 9.1.5 but problem same so at this moment version is 9.1.6. I tried 64bit too but no changes. And the thing is that i need studio and i need to sort this problem quick.
    Please everybody if you had same problem give me answer or any idea what to do
    Thanks

    The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
    But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
    You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

  • Can logic pro 9 be upgraded if i have the Express version?

    HI,
    Can logic pro 9 be upgraded if i have the Express version?
    because when i try to do it, ask me for my Logic Studio SNr. and i just copy my Logic Express SNr. and doesn't work !
    Is that normal?

    I'm not sure I understand the wording of your question.
    If you mean "Can I upgrade Logic Express 9 to Logic Pro 9?" the answer is yes, you can.
    When you get the upgrade, if you already had LE9 installed on your system, the installer will already know your existing serial number, and it will be asking you for your new serial number of the upgrade. If you are trying to put in your old serial number here, this won't work, it's the serial number of the upgrade it's asking for.
    If you are having serial number issues and believe you are using the correct serial numbers, then you'll need to contact Apple for help.

  • What is the difference between logic studio academic version and the normal version ?

    what is the difference between logic studio academic version from the other versions ?

    No difference... the Academic version cannot be upgraded to the next major revision.
    If you had putchased the Logic 9 academic version you get all the updates 9.0, 9.03, 9.1, 9.3...etc
    When Logic 10 rolls around you would have to purchase the application at full price, your version isn't elgible for the upgrade price.
    Same software as the retail version though.

    Have a read here https://discussions.apple.com/message/15701309#15701309
    Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

  • Just purchased Logic Studio Academic Version off ebay.  serial code is invalid. HELP!!!!

    I just purchased Logic Studio (academic version) off ebay.  It was only 200$.  When i received it, it was factory sealed and everything, and had the serial number.  However, when I entered the number it consistently gave me the "serial number is invalid".  I know its not any problems with how I entered the code, because I checked all my 0's and O's and 1's and L's.  I also entered it about 30 times.  I'm kind of freaking out.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Or am i just screwed?....

    You could call AppleCare or Customer Support...

  • Is there  any free update for logic pro x version 10.0

    Can logic pro X version 10.0 update to 10.1 for free ?
    How please !?

    Open the Mac App Store and click on the Updates tab; this is free, but you'll need to be able to log in with the Apple ID used to buy Logic.

  • Uninstalling Logic Express 7.2 after installing Logic Pro 7.2 Upgrade

    hi guys,
    my gf just bought me the logic pro 7.2 upgrade from logic express that i use and i have a quick question to ask..
    i have installed and updated Logic Pro to 7.2.3 -- what do i do with Logic Express app? do i just drag and drop it to my trash to uninstall it? I want to free up some space on my HD so will Logic Pro now work if i uninstall my Logic Express? If this is the case, then if i remove Logic Express from my HD by dragging the .app file into the trash is it safe to assume i will not delete any folders that will prevent Logic Pro from working?
    Thanks!
    super excited about upgrade!!!!!
    :-DDDDDDDDD
    sparco.

    Hey Sparco.
    I was wondering the same thing, as I've recently done this as well (bought LP after owning LE, that is). I was always wondering whether or not I needed it there, or even GB for that matter. I almost deleted LE/GB, until I realized that the programs themselves aren't taking up that much space. What takes up the most space are the sample libraries, apple loops (at least the non-midi ones), and perhaps some of the plugins. As far as I can tell, Logic Pro will install as a separate app, but it will share all of the file resources with LE and GB, and just add extra stuff on top (like the ES2, Scultpure, etc etc). I don't think you'd be saving all that much space getting rid of LE.
    Besides, having LE around means that you don't ALWAYS need the xskey. Perfect for anyone running a laptop.

  • I'm have problems Importing with the Adobe Premiere Pro (original version upgrade

    Thank you Eddy. I appreciate all the help and feedback I get from the website.
    Also, someone suggested I convert the Mpegs to AVI files first. What do you know about AVS Video Remaker download to use to convert it???
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Plug-ins unavailable after reinstalling Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade

    I have been running Logic Pro 7.2 which was purchased as an upgrade from Logic Gold with an Emagic XS key. Everything had been running fine until recently when I had to reformat my startup partition and reinstall everything.
    Reinstalling Logic Gold seemed to be straight forward. It booted up as normal with all Logic and third party plug-ins appearing in their drop down folders when selecting a plug in.
    I then proceeded to reinstall Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade only to find that all of Logic's AU plug-ins and third party plug-ins were no longer available to me within Logic Pro 7.2...?
    I'm absolutely puzzled by this. Can any anyone help me?

  • Logic Pro Academic Upgrades and Updates ?

    Since i'm a student i thought i thought it was a good idea to get Logic Pro 7.2 Academic version and it's only when i received it that i noticed the the mention on the box that this version is not elligible for upgrades.
    now i have not opened it yet until someone here can shed some light on this restriction. that way i can return it to the shop at school.
    what i would like to know is if i will be able to get the point updated (7.3, 7.4...7.9) until version 8.0 comes out. at the very least that's what i expect. then i'll have to buy the full version of 8.0 i guess.
    any ideas?

    The real problem with all of this is the cost of an upgrade. What I understand Apple to mean is this: the owner of an Academic version will get updates just like everybody else. The recent cross-grade (to 7.2) also had an academic price on it but was available to an Academic licence holder 'just like everybody else'.
    The real difficulty will come with whatever Apple considers to be an upgrade. There is no upgrade path from 7 Academic to (let's say) 8. In this case, everybody else will get to pay the upgrade price (whatever that might be). Academic owners will get to buy the new version at full cost (i.e., no upgrade price will be available - just the full price version unless you're still eligible to buy the thing at the (full) academic price (whatever that may be).
    There's the rub, Horatio.

  • Academic Version Upgrade

    We own a business, and I have a question of legality.
    We have an Academic version of MacroMedia Studio MX. We want to know if we are able to use that Academic version to upgrade into the Adobe CS3 Design Premium non-academic version. Again, this would be for commercial use -
    Will Adobe even let us activate the upgrade of CS3 DP off of an academic version of Studio MX?

    Here is my story... I bought Logic Pro 7 Academic at the beginning of '05 when it was still 500 dls. Later I bough the update to 7.2. for 50 dls.
