Lost Serial Number For Final Cut Express 3.5

Okay, here's the story. A long time ago (Like a year), on the left side of the finder window where library, documents, applications, etc. is, for some reason I accidentally dragged out the library icon. About a month ago I took the library icon from in the finder window into the left side of the finder bar. When I logged out and logged back in, my whole account had been reset. I was able to recover all my data, because it did not delete the data, it had only moved it. But all my applications were reset, including Final Cut Express 3.5. I have not used it since today. Today I tried to open FCE, and it asked me for my serial number. Since all my applications were reset, FCE thought this was the first time it was being opened. To get to the point, I no longer have the serial number. I looked for the information so I could get a new serial number (Support page URL http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861), but I could not find the information. If I can never find the information, I can never open the application again unless I buy a new copy. If anyone can help me in any way to fix this problem that would be VERY helpful. Thank you.

If you have lost the serial number the only thing you can do is contact Apple with some kind of proof of purchase.

  • Serial Number for Final Cut Express 3.5 upgrade is lost in melt down

    After a major melt down of logic board, internal and external hard drives I am trying to reload programs. I have loaded final cut express 3.0 and when I try to load my 3.5 upgrade it asks for a serial number. Even though I have the packaging it came in I can not find the number. I registered the software and would like to know if there is a location with Apple I can find the software I have registered and get the serial number from that. Or any other way to find it.

    Apple customer service was very good and had the serial number within 2 days. Thank you for the suggestion.

  • How do I recover my serial number for Final Cut Express?

    After upgrading to a new iMac and transferring software, Final Cut Express was no longer registered. How can I find my registration number? Does Apple keep these on file similar to adobe?

  • HT200276 HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO

    HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO ???

    It's on the back of the installation booklet. If you've lost that, and have some proof of purchase, it can probably be sorted out by contacting Apple.

  • Help Locating my serial number for Final Cut Studio?

    Can anyone help me in Locating a serial number for my Final Cut Studio??-- I dont know where the booklet "installing your software" is --i have all other disks and books-- i need to upgrade from FCP5.1 to 6.2

    The booklet is the only place where you can find the serial #.
    There is a file on your computer, but it is encrypted.
    You might be able to get the number from the splash screen (Final Cut Pro > About Final Cut Pro) but I have heard that it is not displayed in full in some releases. It certainly displays in full on the FCP 7 splash screen.
    Should none of the above help, follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861

  • Serial Number to Final Cut Express HD....

    Background: I purchased a new MacBookPro with a pre-installed version of Final Cut Express HD. Four days into the machine, and before I ever opened up Final Cut Express, the hard drive crashed and it was fatal. Apple replaced the first MacBook with a second one identical with Final Cut Express HD loaded. But, I have no serial number to open FCHD with. Where do you get the serial number? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    You should have received a box containing the FCE-HD disks. On the back of the 'Installing This Software' brochure there are two stickers with your FCE serial number.

  • Release product serial number for final cut studio

    i bought an imac. gonna take it back. installed final cut studio. how can i unlock the key for the next computer? do i have to contact apple to release it?

    You can uninstall all of the FCS components from the iMac before you return it by using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
    When you install FCS on the new computer, use the serial number that was included with the FCS package - it is on stickers affixed to the front cover of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software."

  • Serial Number for Final Cut Studio

    I just bought a new iMac and I am trying to install Final Cut Studio. I already had it installed on my old computer so the serial number isn't valid. Is there a way to transfer the serial number? I no longer plan on using the old computer.

    Delete it from the old computer, then install it on the new one.
    Bear in mind that if you have FCP 5.0, then it might not work on the new Intel iMac. It was designed for the older PowerPC computer. It might, but you might get an error about the AGP graphics card...meaning that it won't work without a little hacking on your part.

  • Cant find my serial number for final cut espress but have disk

    Can anyone help with this...

    Do you have the application installed? If yes, the serial number is in the splash screen (on recent versions). If not, you have to contact Apple. No one here can help you.

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS worth the money for Final Cut Express?

    Hi,
    I'm considering a new iMac 24, but not sure if the speedier on is worth the money.
    Currently I use a MacBook Pro 2.2 for Final Cut Express with a 23" cinema (mostly DV, some HD) and that works okay, but won't play back in real time when I composit video.
    Anybody know if the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS will help in that area?
    Thanks,
    KC

    The speedier video card is great for 3D stuff, but it won't matter a wink for Final Cut Express, which barely makes use of the video card.
    Keep in mind that Final Cut is using the CPU, not video card, to perform the editing, decoding, and encoding of the video. The only time the video card comes into play is during playback of the video, and any of the video options available for iMacs will handle that just fine.
    When you composite video, the hard-disk throughput will start to come into play. The dinky 5400 RPM disk in your laptop will adversely affect the performance of that.

  • How do  register for final cut express which came pre-installed? i'm being asked to provide a serial number - how is that possible?

    how do i find the serial number for software that was pre-installed on my imac? it's the final cut express software - which i can't use without the serial number .... help, please! d.s.

    When you purchase a computer from Apple with pre-installed software it comes with the OS install discs, the iLife install disc, and any other installation discs. You should have an FCE installation disc. The serial number should be on the disc.

  • Where is the serial number on final cut 4 express?

    Hello, I recently bought final cut express 4 today. When installing the program, I get prompted to type in a serial key located on the back of the software booklet. However, I cannot find the serial number. I've tried every number on the back of the software manuel and on the box and I still don't have the right key. Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks

    Hi
    In my box there was another box that opens and reveals the DVD disk.
    The other half of this also is a box - opens on the side.
    In this there was a small booklet and on it's last page (back-page) ther
    was two stickers glued.
    Top one FCE Serial no x 2 and under this Support ID no
    Serial no is X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXXX (Observe last one 4 digits or letters)
    If You as I have an upgrade - then You need the licence key from original - full pay version.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Serial code issues for Final Cut Express HD

    My birthday present computer came with Final Cut Express HD pre-installed as a little bonus from my dad, but I can't actually use it until I know the serial code to register it. I've looked everywhere but I have found no information on the Apple website as to where one finds the serial code for a pre-installed program. I actually have this same issue with Soundtrack and LiveType, so if anyone has any idea about where to look, that would be wonderful... in the meantime I will keep searching. Thank you.

    Even if the software comes pre-installed there should be disks with it. Are you sure it was pre-installed? I never knew Apple to do this in the US with pro apps products. They made bundles that came with computers, discount price if you buy a new computer, but never heard of them being pre-installed. Maybe your Dad has the boxes.
