Purchased Studio Logic on eBay, no serial number or printed documentation

Hello All,
I recently purchased Logic Studio from a seller on eBay. I was able to install the software just fine. At the time of installation it did not ask for a serial number. However, I recently installed the latest updates and it is now asking me for the serial. My problem is this: there was no printed documentation included in the original packaging.
I have contacted Apple support and basically they told me since I purchased the software from a third party, they can't do anything. I have also tried to contact the seller, but have yet to receive a response.
Does anyone know of a different route I can take to try and recover the original serial number? Or is there a way to obtain a new number? I have the original box with the proof of purchase...if that even means anything.
I've searched the forums and didn't find anything covering this specific situation. I apologize if this topic has already been covered.
Any help/info is much appreciated!
Thanks all, and Merry Christmas!

There are a couple of things that are weird:
1. The Logic installer doesn't request a serial number, if the serial number is already on the system. I assume you had some kind of a previous install.
2. If Logic requires a serial number after a software update, it seems the serial number on the system was no longer valid, e.g. because it ended up on the stolen serial number list.
3. The original box contains a bunch of printed documentation, a booklet about Logic, one about MainStage, and a couple of smaller ones. Also included is a piece of paper that has the serial number on it. I think actuall a couple of times in form of stickers.
Seems like a clear case of contacting the seller. Without the serial number, you don't have a valid license of Logic.

  • I have a purchased version of FrameMaker 10 - box, serial number, heck, even the CD sleeve, but no CD. Is there a way to download FrameMaker 10 so that I can install it and apply my serial number?

    I have a purchased version of FrameMaker 10 - box, serial number, heck, even the CD sleeve, but no CD. Is there a way to download FrameMaker 10 so that I can install it and apply my serial number? It would be nice if you had a service like Battle.net, where you apply your serial number to your account and your software is always available to you. (I realize the cloud direction makes this possible going forward, but older software would be helpful.
    Thanks for any help you can provide

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

  • Why is logic asking for a Serial number

    Why is logic asking for a Serial number.

    It means you've had another "Version" on your drive before.
    The App store version does not require a serial number unless it sees certain files that indicates a previous installation of Logic.

  • Updating to Studio from Pro w/o serial number.

    I have somehow acquired a CD box with the update to studio but I downloaded pro 9 from the app store. When I try to install Studio it asks for my previous serial number which I do not have as serial numbers are not neccessary when purchasing from the app store.
    Can anyone help at all with this problem?
    Cheers,
    Neil

    Hi
    If you have a Logic Studio upgrade (either from Studio v1.. Logic Pro 8, or Express etc), the installer will be expecting the *original* serial (from the version you are "upgrading" from)... which you probably do not have.

  • I need to reinstall logic 8 but lost serial number

    I have had to wipe my hard drive and now need to reinstall logic 8 before i install Logic 9 upgrade, but I have lost the serial number for 8. What should I do?

    Hi
    If you intend to upgrade to Logic 9, you should not need to actually install Logic 8 (unless you want to).
    You will need the 8 Serial number in either case if you are using an upgrade installation disk set for Logic Studio (2).
    Apple may be able to help regarding lost serials:

  • Logic asks for my serial number every time I reboot the computer.  Anyone know what gives?  I restored the program after a hard drive crash and now I need to enter the serial number every time.  Why doesn't it remember the code?

    After a computer crash I had to reinstall the whole system using Migration Assistant.  The User ID is NOT the same as the original computer.  And now every time I reboot the computer and load Logic the program asks me to enter my Serial Number with a "Licensing" window. Why can't the copy protection see that I have already done this?  Am I missing some Pref file, or is it in the wrong location?  The program works fine once I enter in the number and insert my Logic XSKey (from an older update).  Thanks.

    Hi!
    Do you run automap 4.8/4.9? If so, then the chance is that automap is the culprit for slow undos/redos on LPX 10.1. Delete the Novation controller in the LPX controller surfaces. You find it under preferences/controller surfaces. If that is the solution for you, then uninstall automap. You find the uninstaller under applications-automap.
    Good luck!

  • PS Elements 13 - purchased box DVD, but the label serial number only has 18 numbers and not 24.  Only a pin on the sleeve. Stuck!

    The chat line is down for the Chrismas Holiday and I'm stuck.  Cannot locate the 24 digit serial number to register the product to use it.  Any advise?  I've got the DVD for a MAC that I purchased for $89. from B&H Photo online.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you bothered to do any research at all? Not every app was upgrade to 5.5. Those that weren’t will next be upgraded to CS6.
