Lost xs key

I bought Logic pro 7 when it was released. Later on when LP8 was released, i bought the upgrade and installed it WITH the xs key.
" days ago I formated my computer and as i was about to install LP8, Iinsert LP8 serial, and was asked to eather 1: insert the xs key or 2: enter the original serialnumber(from Logic7, I guess)
I have lost my xs key, and the only "serial" I got for Logic pro7, si a MPN-code and a support ID, -NO SERIAL NUMBER.
I contacted apple, and I can ether buy a new xs key or buy Logic express(to have a serial-number for upgrade).
As I´m traveling a lot, and I use Logic in my everyday work, I can not wait 2 weeks for getting a new xs key...
I already got all manuals and install-cd´s for LP7 and LP8, all I need is MY serial number or xs key.
I prefer the serial, as a new xs-key might be lost again and more trouble will come my way..
Any good ideas will be highly appreciated!
Thanx

I already got all manuals and install-cd´s for LP7 and LP8, all I need is MY serial number or xs key.
There have been many questions like this over the past few months. Here is how I understand it:
Logic Pro 7 ONLY uses an XSKey. There is NO serial number for Logic 7 because the dongle acts as your serial number. You will have to get another XSKey from Apple.
There were many people griping about this when Logic 8 first came out. Some people suggested that Apple should have a system where you turn in your XSKey and receive in return a serial number that would work, but nothing came of that. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait.
I contacted apple, and I can ether buy a new xs key or buy Logic express(to have a serial-number for upgrade).
I think someone at Apple gave you bad advice. I do not think you could go out and buy Logic Express, because you purchased the 'Upgrade from Logic Pro 7' package, which is DIFFERENT than the 'Upgrade from Logic Express' package. The only thing that is going to work is a valid XSKey from any of the packages supported by the upgrade, which are Logic Pro 6/7 or Logic Platinum/Gold 5/6. If you bought any of these packages used that came with an XSKEy that would work.
Good Luck!

    Going to need a lot more info on what your are trying to do and why you are doing it.
    Signing into an Apple ID is easy. Open whatever needs and Apple ID and sign in using the ID name, usually a email address, and the password associated with that name. you will then be signed in.
    And please refrain from the profanity.

    I lost password id apple and lost recovery key,how to reset my password

    Do you have another trusted device for two-step verification?
    See:  Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID   
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    What if I lose my Recovery Key?
    If you lose your Recovery Key, you can replace it any time:
    Go to My Apple ID.
    Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your password and trusted device.
    Select Password and Security.
    Under Recovery Key, select Replace Lost Key.
    When you create a new key, your old Recovery Key is no longer usable.
    and
    What if I forget my Apple ID password?
    You can reset it at My Apple ID using your Recovery Key and one of your trusted devices.
    Apple Support can't reset your password for you. To reset your password, you must have your Recovery Key and access to at least one of your trusted devices.
    if you have neither your AppleID password, nor your Recovery Key, nor a trusted device, not even Apple can help you to get access to your account.

  • HT5577 I lost recovery key and trusted device, how do I rescue my funds on account?

    Lost recovery key and trusted dev, and need to transfer balance on account how do I do this?

    You will need one of your trusted devices to be able to change your password : Apple ID: Can't sign in with two-step verification - Apple Support
    Nobody else should be able to download from a new device or computer unless they have access to two of your password, a trusted device, and your recovery key. You are sure that they are using it e.g. there are a number of phishing emails doing the rounds saying that something has been downloaded on an account and to click on a link in the email if it wasn't you that made it so as to request a refund (i.e. so that they can capture your password and payment details).
    If they are 'proper' purchases then you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

    Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.

  • Lost license key for Starffice 8

    I'm pretty sure you mean the Logic 7 XSKey. 8 came without key.
    but it seems that I have lost my key for Logic 8. As far as I remember, I did register Logic 8 (or even 9). Is there any way I could retrieve my key or validate my new install without extra costs?
    You'll probably have to pay for the phonecall to Apple support...
    May seem a little far-fetched, but could it even be possible to send Apple some proof that I really payed for Logic?
    Why farfetched? Seems commonsensical to me, and AFAIK you can do this. But I think you would get more definitive and detailed answers if you just called Apple Support.

  • I lost my key for Adobe x, how do I get a new one?

    I installed Win 8.1 on my computer and Now need to reinstall Adobe X.  I lost my key, how do I get a new one?

    The serial number, you mean? That's kind of an expensive thing to lose. If you registered, it will be in your account info on Adobe's web site. Hope you did, good luck!

  • Lost F11 key recovery

    Hi,
    I just bought an S10e in Switzerland with XP SP3 German version preloaded.
    I did a fresh install of XP SP2 Spanish version from an installation CD. I did (rapid) format of the disk partition as part of the installation process. After installation the new XP SP2 Spanish works fine. No changes in the disk partition, the hidden recovery partition is still there.
    The problem is now the "Press F11 for recovery" message during start up doesn't appear anymore and therefore I cannot recover the original factory OS installation. 
    Is there anything I can do get back the lost F11 key functionality or alternative so to recover the preloaded system?
    Thanks in advance,
    Luis

  • Got Firefox Sync but lost my Key how can i get my data back without delete everything ?

    My computer was deleted, i don't have any others devices ? How can i get back my information.
    Apparently, there is no solution, this is shame. Why in my account i can't get back my key https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ? This service is useless if when we have a problem (all devices stolen for example) we can't get back any information...
    I'm really disappointed, and so are others people as far as i can see. I have to start from the beginning all my bookmarks, so i will use Chrome from now. Thanks a lot Mozilla.

    Sorry, but you're using Sync incorrectly if you don't have any other devices connected to that Sync account.
    Sync wasn't intended to be a "cloud" storage device; it's intended to be used to "synchronize" a user's across multiple devices. Upon completion of the initial setup of Sync procedure, the user is shown the Recovery Key and is told to make a copy of that "key". There are buttons in the dialog window to "save" to disk or to "print" the Recovery Key. Unfortunately, too many users just ignored that message (or ignored it) and put themselves in the same position that you are now in - lost data and no way to recover that data.
    The Sync / Recovery Key is used to encrypt your data as it is being uploaded to the Sync server and then used to decrypt your data when it is downloaded to one of your devices. Without the exact Sync Key that the user's data was encrypted with, the user's data is useless scrambled bunch of 1's and zero's.
    Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync that eliminates the need for the user knowing their Recovery Key. The method that generates that "key" uses the user account name (email address) and the user password, so in the future user's shouldn't find themselves in the same position that you are now in.
    ''IMO, Mozilla provided too much security by having that 3rd security "key" (the Recovery Key), considering how many user's aren't using Sync as it was intended to be used.''

  • Locked out of Apple ID AND lost Recovery Key for two-step verification

    Hey guys,
    Firstly, as the title implies, this is a double-whammy of a problem, and obviously, it is very much my fault. The reason I'm bothering to post this, however, is to find out if anyone else has had this issue and where they are at with it.
    The story:
    I set up two-step verification on my Apple ID about a year ago as I thought it was a good idea. I wrote the Recovery Key down as it told you to, and put it in a folder full of other important documents. In a epic mental lapse, however, I now remember later throwing out that folder, forgetting about my Recovery Key. Ya, that is my fault, I'm and idiot. Anyways...
    Fast forward to a few days ago, and I all of a sudden received messages on all my devices saying that my Apple ID had been disabled for security reasons, and that I had to reset the account in order to regain access to it. Scary, but no problem, right? Well, after entering my Apple ID into iForgot.com, the first thing it asked me for was my Recovery Key. This is around the time I was banging my head against the wall in realization that I had thrown it away, but I was relieved to see the "Lost your Recovery Key?" option at the bottom of the screen. I was even more relieved to discover that I had what I needed to reset it: my current password and a trusted Apple device. The catch was that to reset it, I needed to log into my Apple ID to initiate it, which of course I couldn't do because it had been disabled, and the only way for me to disable it is, again, to enter in my Recovery Key. This effectively put me in and endless loop, without any apparent way of gaining accesses to my account. I did contact Apple about it, and I was ultimately told that the lock on my account was so tight, that not even Apple could gain access to it.
    I understand that this level of security is probably the whole reason for the two-step verification in the first place, and I again concede that it was extremely foolish of me for forgetting about and discarding my Recovery Key, but a few things still don't make sense...
    1. Why would they put a "Lost your Recovery Key?" link on the password recovery page when a password is needed to reset the Recovery Key itself?
    2. As far as I can remember, Apple, in their briefing of how two-step verification works, did not bring up this scenario, which is probably relatively common. They DO mention that they can't help when you don't have access to two of the three necessary things for recovery, but they never brought up the apparent exception of if the account is disabled, in which case having two of the three things needed is not enough. I don't understand how they couldn't have mentioned this scenario.
    3. Given the above thought, how could Apple not have some sort of special contingency for this type of situation? I profess my ignorance of how these types of systems are set up, but I would feel that there should be a special method for recovery in place if the account has been locked, and the owner is able to verify that they have the password and trusted devices.
    I didn't mean to make it sound like a rant. I ADORE Apple, but this system seems like it's less than perfect.
    Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so, is your situation similar to mine?
    Thanks for any response!

    Hey everyone.
    It's been awhile, but I wanted to share with anyone who is interested some general knowledge about this issue that I have learned while communicating with Apple support. Unsurprisingly, the issue is still unresolved, and I am under the impression that it will remain that way, but I'm still trying to get in touch with one of the senior representatives I spoke with a while ago who seemed to think that there might be a solution, so I suppose there is still a chance that things could turn out for the better.
    Here's the rundown:
    Anytime you are unable to sign in to or access your account because of "security reasons", your account is under what is called a "DS Lockout".
    A DS Lockout on an Apple ID can be triggered for a few reasons, such as when too many failed logins to the Apple ID (using an incorrect password) are attempted, or when a purchase is made that Apple believes to be fraudulent.
    Under normal circumstances, a DS Lockout only lasts for 8 hours, after which the lock is lifted and access to the account by inputting the correct password is re-enabled.
    This is where the catch for anybody who set up two-step verification is.
    According to one of Apple's security representatives, IF you have two-step verification enabled upon being inflicted with a DS Lockout, the 8-hour lockout period is extended indefinitely as an additional security measure (a feature, I suppose). Therefore, the only way to regain access to the account is by resetting the password, as waiting for the lockout to expire is no longer an option. And of course, resetting your password, as stated by Apple, is one of the situations in which you need your Recovery Key. EVEN IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE ACCOUNT'S CURRENT PASSWORD IS, the lockout prevents you from being able to input it as a means of authentication. You MUST reset your password in order to regain access, and you MUST input your recovery key in order to reset your password.
    So, that seems to be the gist of it. It does make sense, but here's my problem:
    Upon setting up two-step verification, Apple does warn you of many things, but they do not make any mention of this specific scenario. Indeed, it is very much my fault for loosing my verification key, but the thing is, I’m human, I make mistakes, and I know that I will continue to do so. One of the reasons I chose to take the risk of setting up two-step verification is because Apple explicitly stated that as long as I had access to two of the three required "keys" -- my Recovery Key, my password, and at least one of my trusted Apple devices -- I would always be able to gain access to my account. In other words, as long as I didn’t screw up so bad as to loose access to two of my keys, I’d be okay. Obviously, there is a huge exception to this case that, again, is not mentioned anywhere, hence all the confusion. Had I know that it was possible that it could come down to me needing a single, specific key to regain access to my account, I probably would have opted out of two-step verification, recognizing that as a busy college student who's constantly reorganizing and dealing with tons of forms, worksheets, and other various documents, it's not as easy to hold on to a slip of paper as it might be for others. I'm hoping that at some point, Apple adds a big, red warning to the setup process which reads something like:
    "In the event that your Apple ID is locked due to a detected security risk, your Recovery key will be necessary to regaining access to your account; knowing your password and/or having access to any of your trusted devices will no longer be enough."
    I really do appreciate how seriously Apple takes its security, but I think that there is still room for improvement. This should start with more clearly and fully stating the conditions of its security measures, as well as having its customer support be more educated on these conditions (they themselves stated that they had never been trained on issues revolving around two-step verification). Protecting someone's private information is important, but so too is making every possible effort to ensure that customers can't easily loose access to all the content and services that they have spent much time and money building up and using.
    As stated above, I'm still trying to get a hold of the Apple representative who initially assisted me, so if I have any additional updates, I'll be sure to reply to this thread. I hope that anyone who is going through the same issue, or is simply curious, finds this information to be useful.

  • HT204152 Apple ID Disabled & Lost Recovery Key (Two-Step Verification)

    If you use Two-Step Verification:
    If your Apple ID is disabled "for security reasons" AND you lost your Recovery Key ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST!  Speaking from a recent, nearly devastating experience, I hopefully will provide some relief to others in the same boat...
    After speaking to several customer service representatives who basically told me that without the recovery key, there was no way to access my account and everything would be lost forever, I finally spoke with a senior customer service representative that actually understood my issue (most thought I just forgot my password).
    As it turns out, my account was locked due to too many incorrect PW attempts (not exactly sure how that happened).  I was prompted to go to appleid.apple.com and when trying to log in, prompted to enter my Recovery Key.  I couldn't get further than that.  What I didn't realize and the other reps didn't tell me was after 8 hours, the account is unlocked.  I was then able to log in at applied.apple.com and verify my account using a trusted device.  I was then able to create a new recovery key (and print it out and put copies everywhere so this wouldn't happen again!).
    Lessons Learned:  1. Don't lose the Recovery Key again!  2. When talking to Apple Customer Service, ask to speak with a senior customer service representative.  3.  Wait 8 hours without trying to log in and your Apple ID is unlocked again.

    we all have had unsatisfactory results with entry level CS techs. Your advice to be assertive about speaking with a Senior Tech is sound and where I have ALWAYS found satsifaction. Methinks the proprietary Customer Service Knowledge Base may be running the same software as our forums - Terrible searching is a rule here. - the other two suggestions are very good as well - ÇÇÇ
