Logic Pro 9 - App Store - No Serial Number

Hi there,
Before we get started, this is NOT a discussion about a pirated version of Logic Pro 9. I have never, not now or in the past installed any pirated software on this machine.
I just downloaded Logic Pro 9 from the Mac App Store, and it downloaded and installed just fine. However... when starting the program up, it asks me for a serial number. This is a number that I do not have. It was not emailed to me, it does not seem to exist in any of the purchase history inside the App Store or my iTunes account.
Why in the world would they let me purchase a product that apparently requires a serial number, but does not provide one at the time of purchase?
Can anyone, please PLEASE provide me with a suggestion. I don't want to have just spent all this money for nothing.
Thanks,
Nannou

Check in  Root/Library/Preferences for a file named   com.apple.RegLogic******.plist.  The name may differ depending on which version of Logic or Logic Express was previously installed or if you had a partial install of the AppStore version.
That file HAS to be deleted.

  • Re-InStall Logic Pro X App Store Problems

    Hello All, I am having problems will Logic Pro X when creating a New File or Using Templates it crashes.  I have tried lots of things advised by many User web sites and searching the Web.  It now appers I have to reinstall the App.  Here lies the problem? When opening the App Store and my Purchases it tells me its installed?  Greyed out.  Do I have to now delete Logic Pro X to change this window?  If thats the case do I have to delete ALL of Logic Pro X and content which well could mess up Logic 9 I still use and maybe Final Cut X God...There files and floders all over the OS Main drive?
    There seems little in the way of backing up Logic Pro X with the installer for such occasions as I find mysellf in when using the App Store.  I do have a recent clone of my hard drive but it well could have the problem in a bad file etc..  We dont have a disk image DMG anymore nor a DVD CD disk to revert to?  Its crazy and whats puzzleing is I just download Mevericks with the insaller without it installing.  I can back that up and insatll it when I wish and thats free? So it makes know sence when you have paid for a App?
    Of cause maybe there's a simple explention and I have missed it?  Thanks for any advise help or experiences, you may all have to reinsall such Pro apps one day?  Cheers Don H

    Ok found the solutions to reinstalling Logic X from the App Store….
    1. First trash the App from your applications folder- command C + Command V paste to your desktop, then put it in the trash. You can't drag it to anywhere you get an Alias?
    2. Make sure you unmount any external HD in my case had Logic X projects on? 
    3. Then empty the trash.
    4. Go to the App Store and sign Out! Then close the app…
    5. Restart the computer in Safe Mode hold the shift key down? 
    6. Once your desktop is up power down again restarting the computer normally - your emptying the cache files etc. or so I am told.
    7. Once up and back to your normal desktop open the Apps Store - sign in and go to your purchases.  You may have to sign out then sign in again?
    With some Apple magic your Logic Pro X app should appear for INSTALL.  
    You will have to set everything up in Logic X again but hopefully you have a BK of your Key Commands?  Just import?
    It all appears a pain just to install Logic X again but it works.  Many of you may not need to go through the various things to get the App Store to work.  I did this with an Apple Logic X tech?  There well maybe other ways of skipping powering up and down etc.  At least you can reinstall and hopefully get rid of any previous bugs and problems?   Cheers Don H

  • Logic Pro App Store Download/Serial Number

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Logic Pro from the App Store and i cannot get into the programme because it is asking me for a serial number. It says refer to your packaging but i bought it online.
    Has anyone had this problem and if so, where can i find the serial number for my product?
    Thanks

    Yes, read the thread - the answer is right there!
         Remove any previous version of Logic Pro from your Mac and install the Mac App Store version. That will fix it.

  • HT2375 Bought Logic Pro in App store - Where do I find the serial??

    I can't finnish my installation of Logic after purchasing it in App store beacouse I can't find the serial - where do I find it?

    Just to clarity this answer for anyone else who should read it in the future..
    The version of Logic Pro from the App Store does NOT use a serial... It uses your Apple ID and Password during purchase or install to authenticate itself.
    Only the original Box sets of L7 or earlier (which also used a hardware key...) and Logic Studio, Logic Studio 2 and non App store purchased Logic Pro Upgrade DVDs/updates require a serial code to complete install.

  • I buy logic pro but i get no serial number to license it

    Hi, i buy last night logic pro in the app store . I download it and install it, but now he want an Serial number for licensing.
    i got no serialnumber!
    any idea?

    App Store apps do not require serial numbers. Did you have another version of this app installed before you bought the MAS version? Did you properly remove the previous version before installing the MAS version?
    If no, you will need to uninstall all of the current installation of Logic Pro and then download and install the MAS version again. Use an app remover, such as AppZapper, AppDelete or the free AppCleaner.

  • Logic Pro 9 asking for original serial number

    Hi
    Having Logic authorization problems.
    I just bought a new macbook pro. I cloned the harddrive my old macbook (running Logic 9 in OSX Lion) and then cloned to the new macbook pro.
    Whn I try to open Logic Pro 9 - it asks for a serial number. When I enter the serial number from my old laptop
    Logic asks for the "previous serial number or my XS key". I never had a XS key - Logic 8 was my first version.
    I guess I'll to dig up my old Logic 8 installation guide (who knows where it is these days?)
    Why won't the serial number form my macbook work on my new macbook pro?
    Any help is much appreciated
    thanks

    It is Recommended to do a Complete ReInstall from Original Discs when using Pro Apps and not to Migrate them...
    If your Logic 9 was an Upgrade from Logic 8 you will need the Serial Numbers for Both 8 & 9...
    I would suggest you delete the current version of Logic 9 on your MBP and Reinstall from the Logic 9 Discs...
    Then Run Software Update or go Here...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1014
    to download the Latest Update of Logic for Lion.
    I would also recommend doing a Permissions Repair and a Restart after deleting the Migrated Logic 9 and after the Reinstall from Discs...
    It may seem like a lot of work... But the Results will be well worth it...
    Cheers,

  • Logic Pro from app store with Logic Express installed

    Hi there!
    Does anybody know what happens if I install Logic Pro from the Mac App Store while Logic Express is already installed? Will this drag me derectly into dependency **** or can the two coexist?
    Because I really wouldn't want to wreck my working Logic Express Setup by installing Logic Pro...
    Cheers
    Volker

    Hi
    It should work fine, with the exception that opening projects via the Finder may open Express rather than Pro (easily fixed).

  • Update from app store asking serial number

    I proceeded to  a simple update of my aperture using the app store
    I use the app store in order not to have to manage applications, installation DVDs etc..
    What was not my surprise when aperture, after a minor update from app store, is now asking me for a serial number
    Can anyone tell me how I ca nrecover the serial number ?
    I m using the app store especialyl to avoid that kind of bs...

    You say you used the App Store to update Aperture, but how did you buy Aperture orignally? Was your Aperture version bought from the App Store or did you buy Aperture as a retail version on DVD?

  • Logic pro 9 copied from my MACBOOK PRO to IMAC crashes on serial number entered

    Please somebody help,
    1. I have logic pro 9 on my Mac book Pro.
    2. Ive got an IMAC and want to move it to that to work on instead.
    3. I copied the logic pro 9 app to a Hard Drive and then onto my IMAC, and then opened it on my IMAC and my IMAC downloaded 2GB of updates .
    4. It asked me for my name and serial number which i entered and is the same as whats on my Macbook.
    5. when i press enter it crashes ,,,and i cant open it?
    Anybody?

    In that case, contact Apple directly and ask for their help...
    Logic 7 had an XSkey as a physical dongle... so you must have had one of those if you started with Logic 6.... and Logic 8 came with the Logic Studio Boxed set so you must have a serial and physical disks for that.... even if it was an upgrade set... so if you are missing any or all of that then contacting Apple and asking for their assistance, is your only solution.
    Good luck!

    i have a trial version of final cut pro x. i purchased a serial number for it. where do i enter it?

    Not sure what you purchased but it wasn't a serial number. FCPX has no serial number. You simple download it from the App Store using your Apple ID.

    I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

  • I ordered Quicktime Pro. I have a serial number and and my ordered status shows that it was electronically sent. It is not in my download folder or in my list of applications. How do I get the download, if I have a serial number?

    There is no download as such. When you purchase QT 7 Pro, you are just purchasing a registration key that "unlocks" the QT 7 "Pro" editing features already built into the QT 7 Player but not activated without the key. Since you are listed as using the Lion OS, you need to check your "Applications > Utilities" folder to see if QT 7 is already installed there.
    If it is, then you will need to open the app, open the "Registration..." window under the "QuickTime Player 7" Menu and enter the "Registered To:" and "Registration code:" entries to activate the "Pro" features. Be sure to follow the instructions found on the web page I will post below.
    If it is not already installed in the "Applications > Utilities" folder, then you will have to first download and install the special QT 7 Player v7.6.6 software found on the download page which is linked to the web page containing both installation and registration instructions which is included below.

  • Anyone else had this issue when installing the downloaded Logic Pro 9 app?

    How long does this normally take to install? I purchased the Logic Pro 9 app coming close to 72 hours ago now and every since the iMac has been firstly downloading and now installing the content on its own. What's odd, is that it seems to have been stuck on the same process now for close to 24 hours which is 'Installing Logic Pro & Mainstage Essential Content'
    Surely the install doesn't take this long?
    My computer specs are:
    21.5" iMac: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo // 4GB RAM
    Logic Pro 9.1.7
    Do you think there is a risk of doing a computer restart and interuppting the 'install' - presuming thats what is still happening? The progress bar is moving but there's no estimated time showing on its completion. Ive tried, and i am however able to open Logic Pro and use instruments etc.

    Oh dear - it really shouldn't take so long, but of course it depends on your broadband connection. If I remember rightly, the first download of the 'essential content' took about 40 minutes over my cable connection, which is faster and more reliable than ADSL here in the UK, although I don't pay megabucks for the fastest service.
    Don't try and load everything at once - one package at a time - and if it appears to have come to a halt, it should resume the download rather than starting over (it did in my experience). You need to keep a pretty regular eye on the download status - setting it to download the entire content and expecting it to have all finished when you go back to it later may be a bit unrealistic.
    There aren't any magical solutions to any of this as far as I can see, I'm afraid - if you're really out of luck, you can sign into the App Store and download the .dmg files to a computer with a faster connection, if you have access to such a thing.

  • I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

    Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
    I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
    I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
    Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
