Serial Number in Final Cut Studio

I am having issues with Final Cut Studio. I bought Final Cut Studio and installed all of the applications on to my iMac but when I choose to load any of the pro applications it will ask for the serial number. I type the serial number in and then the relevant program will load - is there anyway that I can get the software or computer to remember the serial number so that I don't have to keep typing it in?
Many thanks,
Phil

The file "Final Cut Studio System ID" is likely corrupted.
Go here to delete it: Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/ProApps.
Launch one of the FCS apps, enter your serial again. Hopefully it will stick now.

    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.

  • 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."

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Trouble with serial number on final cut pro  6.0.6

    I've had final cut pro 6.0.6 for several years and I'm trying to transfer it to my new computer a macbook pro 10.6.6 and it asks for the serial number. I have one but it won't accept it. I don't know what to do.

    Just found this post on upgrading from PPC to Intel. Now I am confused. thanks
    "Of course you can! Whoever told you migrating from a PPC to Intel machine is wrong. You only need to be careful about your applications to ensure they are up to date or run on Snow Leopard. Intel based machines that run OS X have an automatic tool build into them called Rosetta, Rosetta allows PPC based apps to run on 10.4, 10.5 & 10.6. You do need to ensure that the apps you have that are PPC only will run on Intel machines. All you need to do is make a list of your apps, then check each vendors web site for compatibility. If they don't have a version that runs on Intel (almost all do) then you need to upgrade that software. It's not that difficult, you just have to be methodical. If you are running very old software then upgrade as your finances allow"

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

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

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 won't except my old serial number, what should I do?

    Final Cut Studio 2 installation software reports invalid serial number when I enter my serial number from Final Cut Studio.
    What am I doing wrong?
    My Final Cut Studio is an upgrade from an older version of Final Cut. Can I upgrade an upgrade?
    My computer is not connected to the internet, is this a problem?
    Please HELP!

    You don't need an internet connection to install Final Cut Studio.
    You will be asked to register the software, but you don't have to do this. Although a reminder to register will pop up about every 4th or 5th time the software is opened.
    When you use upgrade serial numbers, you usually get a warning that you need the number from a full licensed copy. Enter that and then the new serial that came with the upgrade.
