Re-Installation on new Mac Pro - Serial Number not working

I purchased Logic Studio as an upgrade to Logic Express 7. Now I am attempting installation on a new, different Mac. The serial number prompt says that my Logic XS key is invalid.
Because this was originally an upgrade from Logic Express, does that mean that I have to install the old and unnecessary Logic Express on the NEW machine? That seems really dumb.

And, yes the answer is install Logic Express 7.

  • Mac Pro Serial Number Not Detected

    For Some Reason My Mac Pro Early 2008 doesn't have a serial number in its system info. This is a image of the system information.
    As You Can see the serial number isn't available. By the way this Mac Pro was bought on Ebay so I am not 100% sure that the previous owner didn't tamper
    with the inside components such as the logic board. I have tried to get the serial number back but it never works so I need to see if anyone else has this issue or is able to fix it. The issue also isn't with Yosemite because on Mavericks it didn't show either. Me myself didn't preform any upgrades to it either accept the fact that I put a 80gb external hard disk into the mac pro. The NVIDIA graphics card and the 6 gb of ram came with the computer. As I have heard about similar issues to this I
    believe this issue happens when the logic board is upgraded or something like that. I hope that someone can get to me soon and maybe help me figure this out.

    As long as there are no reports of this unit being stolen, and you can show that you bought it, and they can research the old numbers, they should be able to give you a serial number. The genius Bar may be able to do it.
    I doubt if the software to do it is available anywhere, and if it is, it's stolen property of Apple.

  • My Mac PRO (serial number  edited by host )has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

    My Mac PRO (serial number    <edited by host>) has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The serial number doesn't tell us anything. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and tell us the first two lines of the window, where you should see MacBook Pro and a line below, which indicates the model you have:
    That's what I see on my Mac. AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so if you see Early 2011 MacBook Pro or newer in that line, you can use AirPlay Mirroring. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    If you want to upgrade, make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Then, open the Mac App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
    If you don't want to upgrade, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot

  • Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

  • Serial number not work

    Hi, I have a new computer now. I had Photoshop on my old computer and I do not deactivate it. My serial number not work on my new computer and old computer is unavailable. What have I do to activate Photoshop? Thanks.

    The license is for two copies of Photoshop by one user on two different computers that can not be used at the same time.Contact Adobe customer service by phone.  Only they can help you.
    They will deactivate both copies of Photoshop.

  • Why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
    If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

    Elton Adobe which web browser are you utilizing?  Are you signed into http://www.adobe.com/ when you attempt to contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.
    I would recommend utilizing a different web browser and contacting our support team directly as suggested by KGlad in message #6.

  • House move + new Mac Pro = install no longer works

    I recently moved across town and in the process streamlined my computers. I've migrated using migration assistant from a 2.0Ghz iMac to an 8 core Mac Pro. In the physical move I brought over my Aperture 2.0 upgrade disk, book and serial # but seem to have misplaced my 1.0 full retail version. I thought I had stuck the 1.0 serial number inside the 2.0 book but did not. *I figured that the migration assistant would be able to copy over aperture 2.1.3 and enable it for use. Sadly that wasn't the case*. Now I'm stuck with a full 2.X install on my Mac pro that is not activated for use along with all my photos.
    Luckily I've kept my iMac and can use Aperture on it.
    *Does anyone know how I can get my 1.X enabling serial number out of a 2.X upgrade install so that I can re-activate 2.X on my Mac Pro?* Short of that I'm looking at buying a copy of 1.X on ebay.....
    +I should add, I am not asking for serial numbers and please DO NOT POST them in this thread.+

    Just for future reference - I couldn't find my Final Cut Studio v1 serial number, but I had my email receipt from when I ordered it. I called up Apple support, went down the path for software and managed to get someone in licensing that when I faxed over my invoice and photocopy of my disk, generated me a new v1 serial number.
    So if push comes to shove, if you can prove ownership/purchase Apple will provide a replacement serial number.

  • Captured QT on Kona Card. New Mac Pro Computer will not play the clip.

    Hello everyone.
    I bought the new Mac Pro 2.26 & transferred my films to it.
    I no longer have the Kona Card that I captured my footage on.
    The old G5 would play them without the card.
    This clip just plays Black, but the size of it, 5 gigs shows.
    Error message: Does not support Codec?
    How do I change this file into a different codec?
    Regards
    Bonnie

    Hello Shane
    I upgraded to FCP 7 when I bought the New Intel.
    (I did not want to upgrade because of this very reason, but I could not render or export my timeline on the old G5. The HD files were too much for the little G5.)
    The Kona Capture was at 10 bit RGB.
    The bizarre thing is, is that all of the other clips that were captured, play.
    I thought maybe the file was corrupt, so I opened my back up external drive, & it is doing the same thing.
    This is why everyone tells you not to upgrade when you are in the middle of a project!
    If I have to, I will rent a desktop w/a Kona Card.
    Thank you for your help
    Regards
    Bonnie

  • New Mac Pro (quad) does not shut down!

    Hey guys
    I've just taken delivery of a new Mac Pro for my home music studio, and have loaded up various software such as Native Instruments Komplete, BFD3, Sympobia etc... and Logic Pro X.
    In the last two days, whenever I shut down the Mac Pro, it goes to a grey screen (light grey) with the mouse pointer still visible, and then just freezes and doesn't proceed to power off.
    Before I provide further information, does anyone have an idea of what might cause this behavour and anything I should be trying to resolve it?
    Cheers and thanks,
    Mike

    I don't know what might be causing that but one way to find out is to set your Mac to start up and shut down in "verbose mode."
    To turn on Verbose booting, at the Terminal type the following:
    sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
    Disabling Verbose booting is just as easy:
    sudo nvram boot-args=
    You'll see the various steps the Mac runs through to boot and to shut down. When it hangs, you'll be able to see what point it's hanging at.
    BTW, did it behave this way before you loaded up all that software?

  • Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

    I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

    Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment?  If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.

  • Purchasing additional download bundle, serial number not working

    I got an email last Wednesday that said I was out of downloads. I followed the link, purchased some more and received an email from Adobe with a serial number. When I put the serial number in it says that "serial number not valid".
    I've gone through 20 layers of customer support at Adobe and nothing has been resolved. I tried the serial number agian this morning and still got the serial number is not valid.
    I need to get to the right person at Adobe.
    Thank you,
