Logic Pro free upgrade?

Is it free to upgrade Logic Pro when a new version is released? I want to buy Logic but I don't want to waste $200 if a newer version will be released within a few months that I would also have to buy. Thanks for your help.

You might want to call Apple on that one, this is a User forum, we would only be speculating. Everyone knows a new version of Logic is coming out, probably in the next few months but honestly, no one knows when and if they did they can't say. Usually if you purchase the softer and a new version comes out in a certain time frame the upgrade would be free... but I don't think anyone knows how long the free upgrade window is going to cover.

Installing Logic Pro 9 upgrade on a different Mac than the one that Logic Studio 8 is installed on.

I have Logic Studio 8 installed on an OLD Mac Mini (10.6.8). It's not really worth the hassle to upgrade hardware (and the hardware that can be upgraded in that Mac Mini is limited). Am I entitled to the Logic Pro 9 upgrade to install on my brand new Macbook Pro using the serial number from Logic Studio 8 on the Mac Mini? Or do I need to purchase the full version of Logic Pro 9 to put on the Macbook Pro? The new Macbook Pro has never had Logic Studio 8 installed on it. (In fact it won't install because the Macbook Pro is running 10.7.2.

You can purchase the Upgrade and install it on your New MBP...
Just have the Serial Number from LP 8 handy for when you are asked for it...
After the install you will need to run Software update to get the Latest version of Logic 9 for Lion..
Or you can Download it from Here

Logic Pro 9 upgrade is taking forever!!

Hi, what could my problems be? I just installed 10.6.3 and did the combo update to 10.6.4. Now I just bought the Logic Pro 9 upgrade and it is taking FOREVER!!!! Over 6 hours and it is still not done!! Why is this so slow? My machine is a Mac Pro dual 2x2.66Ghz with 8 gigs of ram. OSX 10.6.4 with 4 brand new WD cavair black drives. I am ready to quit this installer. This is ridiculously wrong?

Uh oh! Is there anyway to test to see if it's my optical drive? Now I try the install and it takes a long time then... just says install failed after about two hours of installing. I now have Logic Pro installed but the audio content DVD's and jam pack I don't think are installed. I tried just installing only them, but the installer gives the installation failed message.

I'm struggling to install Logic Pro 9 upgrade on Mountain Lion

Way back we bought one of the last pre-Intel G5 in order to do music processing. We also bought Logic Studio v6 or 7. Then we upgraded to Logic Studio 8 and later decided to use a macbook pro instead of the G5. So far so good. We then upgraded to Logic Pro 9 and can run this on Lion on the Macbook Pro.
My partner is now working away and takes his Macbook with him, so we want to set-up Logic 9 on my macbook pro which is running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Once this is done we will take it off his machine, so not pirating in any way.
I have managed (at great length) to install Logic Studio 8 on my machine using Pacifist, and I can open it and create projects etc... I now want to install Logic Pro 9 on this machine but I get a message saying that a qualifying copy of Logic or MainStage was not found on the disk. To complicate matters, we can't find either the logic pro 9 disk or an image copy, so I downloaded from the following link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
which I found in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4948612
I have already spent many many hours fiddling with this, does anyone know how I can get around this problem?

Im using LPX and have found it to work well.... and no less stable than LP9 in terms of general stability. There are some bugs but given we are still in the early stages of development, that is not surprising and is no different to how it was with LP8 and 9 in their early days. I should add I haven't come across any "showstopper" bugs that affect my own personalo workflow and method of using Logic... just a few niggles and minor annoyances... that for the most part can be worked around if they haven't already been fixed in the 3 updates that have come out since initial release.
I have had no real issues with importing LP9 projects into LPX other than of course, the lack of 32bit Plugin support in LPX which means LP9 projects that contain 32bit plugins.. will not fully import into LPX. The midi/audio data imports ok.. the 32bit plugins will be missing however... if you don't have equivilant 64bit versions installed. For me, this issue has been very minimal simply because almsot all the plugins i use, have already been updated to 64bit versions over the last few years.
There has also been an issue with certain parameters in the track/region Inspector after import into LPX, containing weird values.. I have only had this issue once out of maybe 40+ LP9 Projects and in this one case i simply reset the values and all was well. Other users have reported different levels of how often this occurs.
Note: Once a project has been opened and then resaved in LPX the LPX version cannot be opened in LP9 as project compatibility is only backwards and not forwards.
If you cannot find your disk and serial..(which you will also need) Contact Apple as they may be able to provide you with replacements disks if they have any left. Bear in mind if, as it appears, your LP9 is an upgrade from LP8 you will also need your previous LP8 serial as well as your upgrade LP9 serial to properly install Logic on a new Mac. Once installed you can and in fact must... then update LP9 to 9.1.8 via software updates in LIon or Mountain LIon... for Logic to under those OS versions.

Why does the logic pro 9 upgrade not work on OS X 10.8.4 ?

Just decided to upgrade to logic 9 from my 8 (an upgrade from 6!) but I also have Protools on my computer (dont hate). Tools 11 needs 10.8.4 but the logic 9 update refuses to work with 10.8.4 ...BTW pro 8 is still working well on my system, but 9 has some additional cool featurs etc
Additionally an upate to Logic X loses all my 32bit plugins so...I am staying with 8/9 for a while ..any help to get 9 functional??

It is the installer that's quitting, or Logic Pro when you try to launch it? If the latter, download all the available updates, either through Software Update or the standalone downloaders;
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#logic%20pro%209
and apply them before attempting to launch Logic. That might work better.
Regards.

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.

Logic Pro 9 upgrade anomaly

I've just performed the upgrade to Logic Pro 9 from Pro 8, using the Logic Studio V2.1 Upgrade Pro box (brand new sealed product).
During the installation process, after entering the correct serial number for the upgrade, I didn't get the dialog box asking me to enter the serial number of my earlier version of Logic; the installer went straight to the Custom Install pane.
On first launching Logic Pro 9, I was asked to register online; no problem. After quitting Logic 9, I thought I would try launching Pro 8; when I did the dialog box appeared asking me to register the 'new' software - instead I clicked on register later and it seemed to launch and behave normally.
My question is: should I be concerned that the installation process didn't go exactly as specified in the manual?

So, you are missing that card from your Logic Studio 1 (LP8) box then...... unfortunately.
They are too easy to misplace.... I know I lost mine for a while and then found it by pure chance when i was moving. Since then I copied the info and placed it in Notes on the cloud so no matter what I have a copy...
Anyhow, hope you get a replacement one fast...
Cheers..

Perhaps it's my fault because I don't follow online discussions closely to track the rumour mill about release dates of updated software, I just decide I want to upgrade and do it.
No.. even the guys at my local Apple Store only found out about it 18 hours prior to release when they received updated sale info on the product.. and as far as I am aware the rumor mill didn't provide a release date either in advance... so don't beat yourself up over it because you wouldn't have known in all likelyhood... no matter what research you did in advance.
The reality is.. in terms of announcing products in advance.. Apple like some other companies, are always in a no win situation.
One form of that no win situ.. that occurs is as follows...
Announce LPX 7 days out and the guy who bought LP9 8 days out will complain.
Announce LPX 14 days out and the guy who bought LP9 16 days out will complain..
Announce LPX 30 days and and the guy who bought LP9 31 days out will complain..
There will always be someone they frustrate.. no matter how far in advance they announce it... because there is always a cutoff.. and someone will always be on the wrong side of it.
Now.. Should they have offered a refund for someone who purchased LP9 30 days or less from the date of LPX's release? Well, in my opinion.. absolutely they should have.. and to begin with, unofficially, the CSRs did I might add....until that was stopped by "higher management" because the unofficial refunds were breaching the Terms and Conditions of the App Store Agreement... and possibily setting a precedent which they didn't want set..
But as far as annoucements ahead of time.. I sort of get why not... and again, don't blame yourself.. There is no way you could have known in advance unless you were on the Dev team for LPX that is!

Logic Pro X upgrade

Hi,
I have tried to install 10.1 twice. It shows that it was completed 100%. I restart my computer and I am unable to
find the updated version. I am using Safari and Logic Pro X, but I do not see the update. Has anyone
had an issue with the upgrade?
Thanks!

Typically this means you have another copy of Logic Pro X either on your system drive or on an attached external Hard Drive..... and it's that copy thats been upgraded.
That or you are not running Mavericks 10.9.5 or Yosemite... which is now the minimum OS X requirement for LPX 10.1.
Solution?
Upgrade OS X if needed.... and try again..
or...if your OS X is the correct version for LPX 10.1
Locate the extra copies (Don't forget to check your trash!) and rename them or delete them and try again
Or...failing that...
1) Check under the Purchase tab in the Mac App Store which should show LPX listed there.... if it's not listed, you are not signed in to the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you purchased LPX in the first place... so sign out via the Mac App Store menu option Store/Sign out.. Restart your Mac, Launch the Mac App Store app... Go to the menu option Store > Sign in and sign in again with the correct Apple ID....
Then...
2) Delete the copy of LPX in your Applications folder
3) Empty trash....
4) Restart your Mac...
5) Go to the Purchase tab in the Mac App Store, ensuring you are signed into the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LPX in the first place... and click on the Download/Install button to the far right of it's entry there...
6) Now a new copy of LPX (which will be currently be 10.1) will be downloaded and installed into your Applications folder... and run LPX from there to check you now have the latest version.

Logic Pro 8 upgrade MAJOR PROBLEM

I bought a powerpcg5 and have been using Logic Pro 8. I dont have any original packaging since i moved and i lost it. My brother tried pirating Logic Pro 9 and it removed my Logic Pro 8 registration information which caused me to lose my serial. I try opening Logic 8 and it asks me to register and enter the serial number which i dont have. I am in dire need as i run a studio. I need help ASAP!
-Thanks

Logic Pro 8 upgrade MAJOR PROBLEM
There was never a problem since you tried to upgrade from a pirated copy of Logic 9
Why did you even think this could go well?
I dont have any original packaging since i moved and i lost it.
Did you check Lost and Found?
I am in dire need as i run a studio.
Yet, you let your brother load a pirated copy of Logic 9.
I need help ASAP!
You really don't need help.
Why is it that when I see POSTS like these that the person registers the same day.

Windows 10 Pro Free Upgrade

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1038404-windows-10-imaging-question
Have a look at that thread. Chris posted a really useful infographic on licensing.

Hi,
We have a number of HP PCs with Win7 Pro pre-installed. Can anyone advise if these are covered by the free upgrade to Windows 10?
I've received the upgrade reservation notices on my personal Windows devices, but obviously not on our work devices, so how will it work in a corporate environment?
We use WSUS.
Thanks,
Graham

Logic Pro and Upgrade to Mountain Lion/New MacBook Pro

At some point in the near future, I plan on buying one of the new MacBook Pros (non-retina display). I currently have the mid-2009 model, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15-inch, 4 GB of RAM. Not this is terrible, but I would like to take advantage of the increased processing power with newer MacBook Pros because I constantly use Logic Pro for many different projects.
My question is, how do I make a smooth transition from one piece of hardware to the next? For many of the audio files and such that make up all of the different instruments in Logic Pro, I'm not even completely sure where they are all installed. Some files are in one directory, some are in others. Not to mention plug-ins and things of that nature. Any advice?
