Logic Pro 8 Academic Upgrade to 9?

I have Logic Pro 8 running on an iMac. It is the academic version. Can I upgrade from this to Logic Pro 9?
Thank you!

Straight answer No, you have to buy an academic version of 9.
Why they don't offer this, I have no idea.

Logic Pro 7 Academic upgradable?

Hello,
I am interested in purchasing the Logic Pro 7 software for my recently bought MacBook Pro (15.4"). I will be using my student status in order to make this purchase, and thus I'll have the Logic Pro 7 Academic version. Because of my computer being Intel-based, I'll also need the 7.2 Crossgrade, but from the notice on the Logic Pro 7 Academic web-page I understand that this version could not be upgraded.
I'd be very glad if you could explain to me why/if such upgrade is impossible, and then what is the recommended way to have a Logic Pro 7 on my Intel-based MacBook Pro using my student status.
Many thanks,
Nimrod Katzir

Yea...it's upgradeable but only in decimal increments. So you can get 7.1 and 7.2, but if Logic Pro 8 ever comes out, you will have to buy it.

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)...

Problem with Logic Pro 7 Academic Version

I've been using my academic version of logic pro 7 for about a year, and just recently it hasn't been starting up the way it used to. Usually when it launches, it says logic pro 7: academic version. But now it just says logic pro 7 and tries to run it as a one day trial of the retail version. I tried to get help over the phone but they were saying that they can't help me troubleshoot because they can only help out with logic studio. basically, they say to just reinstall it and if still have problems post it on this discussion. so here i am after the reinstall with the problem still occurring. some help please?

i just updated my xskey from the xskey updater in the utilities folder and it works now.

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

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.

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.

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?

Is Logic Pro 8 Academic compatible with snow leopard?

I am having trouble getting Logic Pro 8 running since I've upgraded to snow Leopard. I was thinking perhaps it wasn't working because it is the academic version? I know that the regular retail Logic Pro 8 is compatible, so I'm trying to diagnose the crashing at startup problem I seem to be having with Logic and all my other music related programs since my OS upgrade. Thanks for any help.

Hi
The Academic version is identical, so there should be no problem.
Sounds like it may be this (it can affect Logic 8 too)

Logic Pro 7 Academic????

Hello.
I really don't understand the difference between the full version and the academic one of Logic Pro. What's all about and why the price of academic version is about half then the other one, when they have the same features?
Thanks Toni.

both versions are the same the only difference is the proce they have the same features the only real difference is that you are not elegible to get a major upgrade like the current version to the next logic 8, all the "regular" upgrades like 7.1,7.2.a possible 7.3, you can get it without no problem, a big upgrade version like logic 8, 9 10, 20. etc.
you dont supposed be elegible to get the upgrade BUT the people in apple are very cool and they are really reasonable, if you explain that you are a logic user, apple used and even you use a apple underwear they problably will give you a deal like half of price or some kind of discount to upgrade from academic to 'normal" version.
good luck

Where I can find Logic pro 7.1 upgrade

I acquired Logic pro 7 software, which I use on PPC G4 computer with Pro Tools Mix++ system. I would like to find 7.1 upgrade. This was actualy free upgrade, Apple sold it for 20$ on DVD (shipping costs).

Indeed.. It was a paid update that was only available from Apple directly and Apple have now ceased selling it...
However, I did locate a Logic 6-7 upgrade which is actually an upgrade from Logic Pro 6 to Logic Pro 7.1.... though i have no idea what it would do if you tried to use it to upgrade from 7.0...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-PRO-LOGIC-7-UPGRADE-SOFTWARE-NEW-M9667Z-A-7-1-/370 832497211?pt=US_Image_Video_Audio_Software&hash=item565756da3b
Other than that, after a brief search around.. I didn't find a real 7.0 to 7.1 upgrade package anywhere and I know one of my clients took almost 8 months of looking about 18 months ago... before he located one himself... and he had to pay almost $100 for his..so be prepared for a wait and pay above the original pricing...
Might be better to upgrade to Logic Pro 8..... if your hardware supports it?

HT201541 10.1 logic pro x free upgrade but not for me ?

hi
have logic pro x
and it seems there is now a new upgrade , 10.1 .
i have no link for this upgrade , which does seem like a blessing at the moment as there seems to be many bugs that need fixing .
but still concerned i do not have the link all the same .
anyone else having this problem .
thank you in advance

Then in that case, do this..
Go to the Purchase tab in the Mac App Store
Check that you see Logic pro X listed there.
if you don't then you are not probably signed into the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic Pro X in which case go to the menu bar, Store > Sign out and then sign in again using the correct Apple ID
Once you see it there....
Go to your Applications folder and Delete the Logic Pro X app...
Restart your Mac
Now go to the Mac Apple Store app > Purchase tab and click on the download/install button to the far right of the Logic Pro X entry there... and it will download and install the latest version v10.1of Logic Pro X to your applications folder for free.

Logic pro will not upgrade

I have not used Logic Pro since upgrading to Lion and now it won't work. I have downloaded 9.1.6 and it states that I have not got applicable software installed. I have, its legal etc. I searched the web for 9.1.4 but cannot get a download copy. Has anyone got any idea or do I have to go to the Apple store?

Hi
make sure that you have your Logic Pro application in the Application folder (and NOT in any other folder within Applications) and make sure that the app is named "Logic Pro" with No spaces/numbers after the name.

Logic Pro 7.2 Upgrade issue/question

Hi,
We have been a Logic Platinum user since version 4, upgrading through 5 and now to 7.2 Pro However, I have come to an issue and wondered if anyone can please help me resolve.
As I have just upgraded our platform to a Dual PPC 2.7mhz running OS/X 10.4.9, I am unable to install my original full version of logic 5 Platinum, so I can install the upgrade to 7.2
It seems my original installation disk for version 5 will not mount under OS/X, giving a system permissions error or stating no system folder available. All was fine on our old platforms under OS 9 (which we no longer own). I left the OS9 discs with the old G4s, thus I cannot load a classic OS9 environment to attempt this way either.
At the time when Apple bought out emagic, I downloaded a cross platform 5.5.0 version which was supposed to also include an OSX version but now going back to the disk i burned, it seems there is only an .exe file, which is a PC only version, no OSX file in sight.
So.... can you please advise our best route to get our original version of logic platinum 5 installed under OSX so we can install the 7.2 update or point us in the direction of the download for the 5.5.0.dmg file for OSX, which would be even better.
A little frustrated at present, as if we hadn't of skipped Version 6, this would now not be an issue. However, what's done is done and version 5 served us well until it really not being capable of what we require, thus the 7.2 upgrade.
PS, We didn't chose to upgrade to Logic 8 Studio on the basis we didn;t need half the apps' included (e.g. Stage for live performance) and also, we thought 7.2 would be slightly less resource hungry. We chose to upgrade to Dual PPC, due to the fact we use M-Audio Delta 1010s and these are not compatible with the PCI-e slots in the Intel Dual core Pros.
If you need any information, please reply and request whatever is necessary to resolve this.
I look forward to hearing back from anyone with some information to relieve our stress, as the studio is currently non functional. As we are only a small family business, any missed custom is traumatic.
Many thanks in advance,
Deecee3112

Hiya,thanks for the reply. I've actually resolved it. The upgrade package to 7.2 didn't need the install of version 5 to be in place at all, just the authorised XSkey.
So the 7.2 upgrade package was actually the full install less the XSkey.
I feel a bit silly now, thinking about it, why would the core audio code from version 5 be used at all in the installation of version 7! ho hum, we learn something everyday.
cheers for the reply anyway, I'm happy at the outcome and can work again.

Logic Pro 7 Academic Productions

With LP7 academic, am I able to sell what is created with the software? If not, how can you tell if it was created with LP7 academic or not?
Papic

Or 7.3
As you point out, Apple is very loose with their terminology. Upgrades are not available for academic versions, but updates are. Remember, it cost money to go from 7.1 to 7.2 (a cross-grade). Maybe an upgrade involves the change in the first number after the decimal point and an update involves any numbers past that. Who knows.
We'll just have to wait and see what Apple considers to be an upgrade (as opposed to update or ???).

Installing Logic Studio (Academic) over Logic Pro 8 (Academic)

Hello -
I just purchased Logic Studio (9?) and have 8 on my computer. Will the install overwrite the significant files, or should I delete 8 before I install? Is there a doc somewhere which indicates where the files that aren't relevant to the new release (but were to 8) are so I can do some housekeeping?
Thanks!

To continue to use Applications that require Rosetta in Lion (such as Logic Studio 8), consider installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:
