Registering Logic Studio on multiple computers.

I'm interested in purchasing Logic Studio but am worried that if I do and install it on my Macbook that I won't be able to later install it on a Mac Pro(another future purchase). Any ideas if I could run it on both or if I would have to un-install it from the macbook and then move it to the mac pro? Thanks in advance.

Here is the End Users Software License Agreement for Logic Studio 8.
It states, in part "2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. This license does not allow the Apple Software to run on more than one computer at a time."

Using one copy of Logic 8 on multiple computers, how does it work now?

Now Apple has done away with the dongle, what's the system for using Logic 8 on more than one computer?
I have a laptop and a desktop (both still on Logic 7), i used to just take the dongle from one machine to the other, what can i expect to be doing when i upgrade to Logic 8? I assume you simply go online and register the machine you want to use with your serial number, is this correct? How long does it take? Can you do this several times a day if you want to?
Many thanks!

Before you install on each computer, put the dongle in first then run the installation routine.
You may install Logic Studio on up to two computers but you may not run it on more than one at a time. In fact, if the two computers are networked, you won't be able to run them on both at the same time.
Yes, you may swap as often as you like - there's no limitation, except that you must close down Logic on one before you start the other.

Is it possible to register quicktime pro to multiple computers?

If i previously purchased quicktime pro and registered it to my old computer, is it possible to unregister it and reregister it to my new computer without having to re-buy the software again?

I'm not a lawyer but what you're doing sounds reasonable.
If you've purchased retail software (say Photoshop) and bought a new computer you can move it over to the new machine. Why not QuickTime Pro?
The rules say one computer per Pro registration. Removing it from one and entering it on another is still just one computer.
Make sure it is for version 7. A version 6 registration will not work.

Install Logic Pro on multiple computers?

My situation is that I plan to install LP on both my Macbook, which I have now, and a iMac, which I have not purchased yet. I am always using my own Apple ID on my macbook. However, I won't be the only one using the iMac and hence we will probably create a separate Apple ID just for the iMac.
I've read a few other forums and what I've gathered is that LP functions like any other application in the sense that as long as the computer is logged into my Apple ID, I can download whatever apps I bought in the past for free. However, for this to work, does the iMac need to be always logged in to my apple ID? (because that's what I don't want...since other people are using the iMac as well!)
In other words, does this mean that if I purchase LP on my macbook using my Apple ID, I can go to the iMac, log into my Apple ID, install LP for free, then sign back into the other Apple ID (the one that LP was NOT purchased on)?
I'm just having a hard time understanding this because it doesnt seem right to me that such an expensive app would be so easily available through 'free downloads' through my Apple ID.
Alternatively, should I create a new apple ID on my Macbook, purchase LP, then when I get the iMac, sign in to that new apple ID and use it? However, if I do that, would LP be able to be used on my Macbook, then? If I log out and go back to my orginal Apple ID?
I'm very confused :/
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!

So what you're saying that I can have multiple users on the iMac logged into separate Apple IDs, and that I can use LP on my user account, yes? However, I have family members who would like to use LP as well on the iMac while at the same time not wanting to use my Apple ID.
You're right

Would the solution then be to have separate users - each user logged into different apple IDs (is that even possible?) - and then install LP on my user account through my apple ID and then make the application accessible to both users?
You can do that

Synching/manual add to multiple iDevices with multiple computers.

Okay, Here's the issue.
I own an Iphone, and multiple versions of iPods (3 different Nano versions and an old Ipod Photo).
I also own three PC's. One desktop, one laptop and one netbook. All run windows 7.
Why is it that it is so bloody impossible to share the three different libraries with the different equipment?
I have a laptop at my girlfriends, my desktop at home and my netbook for when i travel. Ideally I should be able to plug any of the devices that i own and have registered to my apple ID into any PC that is an authorised PC on my account and just drag and drop whatever i want.
Unfortunately this is not the case.
I always enable manually manage music upon first registering a device, as i dont particularly like the whole synch option. I'd just ratherdrag and drop albums as i fancy them, so why can this option not just be tied to each device ID within my apple account, thus when i use one of my authorised machines the setting will be valid and hey presto i can take media and put it on to any of my devices. Is this so difficult?
I also have a WP7 phone, and it seems microsoft can manage this without any problems!
What happened to "Apple, it just works"?
Obviously not in this case.
After quite a bit of googling this is also not an isolated incident as people have been complaining about this since iTunes 7! (this was the earliest mention i could find)
Apologies if this sounds like a rant, its something that has irritated me since i got my iPod photo in 2003!
I am also aware of the editing the itunes music library xml file and replacing the persistent ID workaround, but this is a real pain to play about with.

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two or more) computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

How to use iPhone with multiple computers on iTunes 11?

Both of my computers are Windows 7. I try to manage my music and videos on both iTunes. I used to be easy, like you just check the "Manually manage music and videos" square, and everything is fine... But after I update to iTunes 11, it just doesn't work. There is no resulting dialog box coming up where I can click "OK" after I checked square, and no matter I click "apply" below or "done" above, the iTunes asks to erase and sync with the iPhone. After it syncs, the "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. But if I move to another computer another iTunes, then it says I'm already syncing with one iTunes, and it needs to erase and sync with my iPhone again... and of course, the "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked on this iTunes... If I try to check that on this one.. it's the same story happened before... Basically, there is just no way I can use one iPhone on two iTunes 11, is it?

Register logic 8

How can register logic study if my iMac is not connected to the internet?

On my system (connected to the internet) I have the registration window pop up sometimes, but I can't register as the "Register Now" field is grayed out...
This doesn't seem to have any influence on Logic, but I find it strange.
Edit: I found the solution on another thread ("can't register Logic Studio after upgrading from Logic Pro 7"). I'll try it later and hopefully I'll get rid of that window for good

Manually managing music on iPhone from multiple computers

Everything I've read 'claims' this can be but I don't think the people who tell you how to do it even bother to see what happens. This is one of the things that really frustrate me about forums. It's the complete lack of thoroughness of the people who reply to a question without knowing the outcome.
It's a simple task. I want to be able to move music from multitple computers to my iPhone. When I go into iTunes and select the device, in my case it's the iPhone, and check the box to manually manage music and videos then click 'apply' I get a warning that everything is going to be erased from the phone. WTH!?! And no one on ANY forum who suggests this is the proper way manually managing music even has a solution to be able to do this WITHOUT erasing the phone.
C'mon Apple. It's a SIMPLE drag-n-drop implementation. How hard can it be? I'm not the least interested in syncing with some music library on the computer. In fact I don't even sync my phone with the iTunes Library. It's a waste of time because I can't even selectively sync music. It's either all or nothing. STUPID. I simply want to move music on and off the phone. You know, drag into the window to add and drag off to remove. And I want to be able to do it from any computer I want that's running iTunes. I shouldn't have to copy music from a different computer, carry it home and add it from the home system. That completely defeats the concept of portability. And if my home computer happens to go south for some reason then what? Even if I have all my music backed up, I have to wipe out all my music on the phone and start all over because I'm now using a different computer. Who was the genius that came up with that ludicrous idea?
Apple you really need to take a page from Sandisk and allow iPhones to be treated as external drives so we can drag and drop our music onto them. No muss no fuss. Simple and clean with no hair pulling. It's already established the you create some very pretty devices. Now let's work on improving usability. Because the way I see it, it's a bit backwards.

How do I make sure my Logic Studio is legally registered to me?

My partner and I are professional Musicians and I purchased my Logic Studio from a legit store online and have registered ity accordingly with Apple over the phone, so that I know its registered to me. My partner purchased his Logic Studio from someone on Craigslist, and I told him how important it is that he make sure to register his Logic in his name with the proper support at Apple. But when he called them to register it, they told hime he needed to register it online or pay for customer service in order to register it with them. Firstly, does that sound right? Why wouldn't Apple just register it to him while they had him on the phone, wanting to do that? I don't really see how registering a product to your name is the same as paying for technical support...? Secondly, we can't find anywhere online to register it? Where on earth do you go to register logic online?
Anyone with some answers that could help with these questions would be greatly appreciated. I just want to be sure our butts are covered when we put stuff out in public domain, that its all made on software that is legally licensed to us. There were some horror stories in Music Business class in college, and neither of us want to be "THAT GUY", if you know what I mean...?
Anyway, can anyone help shed some light on these issues for me please?
Thank you

Apple does not require registration of software online. It's sufficient to enter the serial number at first run. This assumes the seller provided the original purchase information including the box with the serial number.

The licence details depend on how you originally purchased Logic. The original (DVD) licence allows for you to have Logic installed on 2 computers, provided that you do not use both at the same time.
The Appstore Licence allows you to install on any computer that you own. See this article for a simple guide

I bought logic studio 8 used, how can I register it to my name?, I bought logic studio 8 used, how can I register it to my name?

I bought this Logic studio 8 from craigs list, the guy who sold it to me said he never registered the program but I asume he installed it in his mac which he also said that it crashed and that was the reason to get rid of logic since he is using a pc now.
He gave me the box with the serial numbers and prod ID as well as the manuals and dvds which I took and installed in my mac laptop so my question is, can I register this software to my name and how does this works?
I know you can only install it in a desktop and a laptop belonging to only one owner.

Thanks KiltedTim.
I know a person who usedit for couple of months and now he would like to sell it.
I want to know if anyone can use it in India. When I say "use" that means download apps and purchase music from the store.
I am asking this because that Iphone ll be registered in USA.

Use Final Cut Studio Academic on multiple computers ?

I bought Final Cut Studio 3 academic version for my Mac. However, I have another person who is helping me edit the film project. Is it ok to install the same s/w using the same discs and serial number on her computer as well ? Does the s/w licence cover multiple computer use ?

Here's the exact wording from the Software License Agreement (SLA):
"2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Apple Software (Bundle)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-branded desktop computer and one Apple-branded laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. You may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time. You may make one copy of the Apple Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on the original."

How can I de register my copy of Logic studio for re-sale

Hello,
How can I de register my copy of Logic studio for re-sale.
Its the latest version and I do not use it at all, I would like to de register it so I can sell it to someone who will have some use for it.
Thanks in advance

Think of this as your automobile.
Do you want just anyone running down to the local license registrar and saying "oh I bought this new car and I want the title now in my name".
You have to understand, with as many stolen devices as there must be floating around, the carrier needs some confirmation that previous owner intends for it to be moved. After all, it is their account.
Still said, I know for a fact that O2 has done this in the past, and still will. If I were you, I would call back and use the suggestions above in speaking with them.

Logic Pro7 - Logic Studio (8) for sale?

Hello everyone.
I'd like to share my dilemma with you.
I bought LogicStudio last week and wanted to update from Pro7 to 8. Well easy enough, I just needed to buy a bigger Hard Disc, because my old system disc was almost full. So I did that and then went on to finish one project in Pro7. After that I wanted to install 8!! However at the last hurdle the Pro7 dongle stopped working. None of my computers (i.e. G5, MacBook & iMacG3) is seeing the dongle anymore - it's basically BROKEN (I didn't wanna use the F word here)!
Went to the Apple store, but they don't deal with "outdated" software and hardware - could have saved that journey...
Instead I rang Apple care. Not only did I have to speak to someone who doesn't speak English very well, but also I had to learn that a replacement dongle will cost me £65 (€130). And I will need this dongle in order to install the upgrade version of Logic Studio (even if I didn't want to use Pro7 anymore).
Well I managed to speak to the supervisor at the call centre and his English was understandable. However my Pro7 was originally purchased by my ex-employer (a college where I used to teach Logic and Music Production) and I am not able to produce the original proof of purchase, which Apple wants to see.
As I can't afford the £65 (€130) to buy a new dongle I have decided to re-sell my 'brand-new' and 'un-used/registerred' version of Logic Studio for the same price I bought it for (£129 ovno) so then I can buy the new dongle and carry on using Pro7....
Bummer ! ! !

When you say you bought Logic 8, my guess is you meant you bought the upgrade from 7 to 8, which is alot cheaper but requires the dongle from 7 to install and authorise it.
So i understand your problem is -
you haven't used 8 yet but now you can't use 7, or upgrade to 8, because your dongle is broken.
That is a bummer - you could try selling the upgrade for the original price to buy a second hand 7, but this seems a shame, effectively selling a new version to buy an old one.
7 goes for between 50 - 100 of your english pounds on ebay.
I don't think you'll get the original price for the upgrade, but you could maybe raise £100ish...
Is £65 so much to raise to properly upgrade? Best bet I reckon.
