Sorry another upgrade question Emagic Logic 6 Platinum to Logic 8

My question here is about upgrading. I have searched the forum and Apples site but have not been enlightened.
A few years ago I briefly used Logic as the front end on a PTs HD system I owned which I still have the dongle for. This was back in 2003. Im pretty sure it was then called Logic 6 platinum and it was before Apple bought Emagic
I no longer have those original disks but I have a hunch they wouldnt be compatible with the newest OS Is that correct?
So, if I go ahead and buy the upgrade how will the software know I'm upgrading if I cant load the old version...which I would rather not do anyway. If I have to produce a serial code that was held on a sticky bit of paper, I dont have that now, and the store I originally bought Logic from has since gone under.
IF I can upgrade, would I get the DVD's with the samples + Manual, or do they send only a disk with the programme.

Correct, you don't need the disks, and you don't need to install old software versions.
When you run the installer, it will ask for your new LP8 serial number, and will then ask you to insert your XSkey so it can check you have a Logic authorisation valid for the upgrade - then it will install LP8, and you will no longer need the key plugged it when running Logic.

  • Upgrading from Logic Platinum to Logic 8 - No files just the software

    Hi,
    I've had a few years away from composing music and have recently started again. I have a license and XS Key for Logic Platinum and want to upgrade to Logic 8.0. I don't need to move any old files over, just upgrade and start afresh. Can I just buy the upgrade pack and that will prompt me for my dongle and XS key?
    Thanks
    Ben

    You don't need to install any of 7 (or 8), it will just ask you for either an earlier serial number or a dongle.

  • ANOTHER UPGRADE QUESTION

    I've owned Photoshop versions 5, 5.5, 7, CS, CS3, & CS5.
    I usually skip a version unless there's something I particularly want, and as to CS6, the only “feature” that interests me, is “the” ACR upgrade.
    I thought about buying Lightroom for the ACR, & to use in conjunction with Photoshop; but I don't want to loose my upgrade privileges for Photoshop.
    I searched the Adobe site, & found info. on the allowance to upgrade from CS4 to CS6; but there is nothing specific about the future, & weather CS5 user's will be eligible for upgrade to CS7, or will be required to upgrade to CS6?
    Seems a bit hard-core bottom line to require upgrading to every version, weather “you're” interested in the “improvements” or not, to retain eligibility!

    The answer is an unequivocal yes.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html
    Starting with the CS6 cycle, you must be on the latest version of Adobe products in order to qualify for upgrade pricing to the next version.
    When CS7 arrives, you must be a CS6 user to upgrade. And so on.
    The new policy arrived out of the blue in 2011 and took everyone by surprise. Originally you had to be a CS5 or CS5.5 user to get upgrade pricing for CS6. Bit harsh.
    After some hardcore lobbying, on behalf of CS3 and CS4 users, from high profile, influential Photoshop users (http://scottkelby.com/2011/an-open-letter-to-adobe-systems/), Adobe relented and the only dispensation was for CS3 and CS4 users upgrading to CS6. Due to the timing of the new upgrade policy announcement (just before CS6 shipped), CS3 and CS4 users have now been given until 31 Dec 2012 to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade prices.
    After 31 Dec 2012, everyone who wants to upgrade to CS6 must already own CS5 or CS5.5.
    This is all for perpetual (traditional) licenses.
    Cloud customers paying their monthly fee get automatic free upgrades for all products plus early access to new features released mid-cycle.
    Not hard to see that Adobe is steadily pushing everyone towards the Creative Cloud.

    Yes, that point of view has been expressed by users

  • Sorry, another /t Question!

    When i run my code and have finished incorporating \t the correct way, thanks to cotton, captain morgan and the other fellow ^^; Everything looks fine except one part where \t does not align with the others.
    Heres the code and if you scroll down to
    Prev Balance: $
    Addition Charges: $
    What i have to do is line them up with \t, but Intrest for sone reason is off mark, Any other ideas?
    import java.util.*;
    public class Account
              public static void main(String[]args)
                   double prevBalance, extraCharges, newBalance, minPymt;//minPymt= minimum payment
                   double interest=.02;//interest is 2 percent.
                   Scanner scan =new Scanner(System.in);
                   System.out.println("Enter your previous balance:");
                   prevBalance=scan.nextDouble();
                   System.out.println("Enter additional charges");
                   extraCharges=scan.nextDouble();
                   interest=interest*prevBalance;
                   newBalance=0;
                   minPymt=0;
                   if(prevBalance>0)
                             prevBalance=prevBalance;
                             newBalance=interest+prevBalance+extraCharges;
                   if(newBalance<50)
                             newBalance=newBalance;
                             minPymt=0;
                   else if(newBalance>50 && newBalance<300)
                             minPymt=50;
                   else if(newBalance>300)
                             minPymt=(.20*newBalance);
                   System.out.println("Previous Balance:\t$"+prevBalance);
                   System.out.println("Additional Charges:\t$"+extraCharges);
                   System.out.println("Interest:\t$"+interest);
                   System.out.println("New Balance:\t$"+newBalance);
                   System.out.println("Minimum Payment:\t$"+minPymt);
    }Thanks again!

    \t will generally mean "advance to the next column
    that's a multiple of 8."
    So if you have
    12345\tZ
    123456789\tZThe first Z will be in column 8 and the second in
    column 16.
    I haven't looked at your code to see if that's what's
    going on, but that's my guess.
    If you want stuff to line up in columns, use
    String.format. (Or System.out.printf, if it exists).

  • Sorry - Another Memory question

    Hi everyone,
    Reading around here about upgrading memory - especially the "you can install more than the stated 1Gb" - I would like to take the plunge and get 1GB memory for my iMac (user-slot). I've been on the Crucial site and have seen this RAM module: - http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=B20F277EA5CA7304 - for what seems a reasonable £65. Would this RAM be OK in my iMac? - You see I also have an iBook (1ghz G4, 12 inch screen) - So if it doesn't work in the iMac I could use it in the iBook instead - Or if the 1Gb works fine in the iMac I would like to put my existing iMac's user-slot memory (512mb) into my iBook's free slot... If this plan makes sense to anyone??? - I would love to know from any of the experts out there if this plan is viable. Thanks.
    iMac 1.25Ghz G4 - 17"LCD   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   768Mb / 80Gb HD / SuperDrive

    Sounds like an excellent plan. I have 1.5Gb of Crucial RAM in my iMac G4 1.25GHz. (1Gb "Factory" and 512Mb in the "User" slot). I see no reason whatsoever why this shouldn't work. Crucial won't guarantee it to work in there though but they will for the iBook G4. 
    Here are the fitting instructions:
    iMac G4.
    iBook G4.

  • Over heating?sorry another fan question

    are these temperatures too hot? they are like this most of the time
    http://damon.clickgarden.net/fan.png

    First I agree your temps are normal and at the same time look fairly good to me. Second you do not have a problem unless your machine is crashing or shutting down. There are many factors that affect your temperature not just Application/CPU usage. One thing that I look at when judging how normal your temperatures are is the Ambient temp which indicates the air temperature inside of your iMac. In general if your iMac is in a hot environment your Ambient temperature will be much higher. Yours being 27 is quite average for a mid to upper 70's room temperature. You didn't say which iMac you have?

  • Sorry another silly question regarding the VCAP 5.5 related to the vMA

    If I remember correctly the vMA got dropped from the VCAP 5.5 exam however it is still in the actual exam lab available to use (feel free to correct me if I am wrong, my brain is pretty nuked at the moment from study). 
    My understanding is that if I invest some time in using the vMA it may be beneficial can I confirm the vMA is ready joined to a any domain and available to use in the actual exam/lab environment?  If so I will try to master it and do everything via it during the next few days

    You will most likely be using the vMA appliance during the exam.

  • Sorry - another masking question  o_O

    So -- I have a keyframed animation and I want to apply a mask to it, but I want the mask to be stationary (for maintaining a clean horizon line in this case -- pixelated mountains rising and lowering off in the distance). I tried both the Image Mask and the mask tool in the toolbar, but can't seem to get the mask to sit still.
    I tried looking through the backlog but couldn't figure it out.
    Thanks very much for any help.
    Evan

    Hrm -- tried that (both using image mask and the mask tool) but no luck. Am I perhaps using the wrong settings on the mask?
    I've linked to a screen, which hopefully clarifies things a bit: http://giantmecha.com/uploaded_images/mountains1.png

  • Sorry, another dumb question.

    When I first got my iphone 4s I was able to download a bible.  That was great.  Now I forget what I did to do that.
    I tried to get into the app store and could not connect to the app store.  Do I have to sign into Apple before I can access the app store?  I just cannot understand why sometimes something works for me and other times it doesn't.
    I got help here before and I tried to do it on my own, but I couldn't.  Thanks

    No you do not have to be signed into Apple to use the App Store.
    You must have an Apple ID account and sign in to that on your iPad. See Settings > iTunes & App Store, and login there with yor Apple ID.
    However, it sounds like you are have an internet communication problem in that you cannot reach the Apple web site or App Store.
    Can you reach other internet sites like http://www.cnn.com/ ?

  • EMAGIC AUDIO LOGIC PLATINUM- ANYBODY KNOW BOUT THIS PROGRAM?

    I recently purchased an Emagic audio logic platinum 3.6 software program without knowing Emagic no longer exists- my question is; is this program compatible with apple programs or am I outta luck and limited to outdated and discontinued accessories? I'm a musician, who is looking to learn this aspect of the music business and would appreciate your help, if you have experience with this program. Thank you- Tony in Las Vegas

    If you're still running System 8.6 (as per your signature), then Logic Platinum 3.6 sounds about right: It's from the mid-90s and is so far beyond obsolete that it can be deigned antique.
    If you bought the Windows/PC version, however, you're outta luck, because that will not run on a Mac.

  • I don't know where else to ask this: Quick Question about Logic Platinum 6

    Hi everyone,
    This question actually pertains to a copy of Logic Platinum 6 I own but I don't know where else to ask it, so here I am in the Logic 8 forum.
    I haven't touched Logic in a year or maybe two, and I just installed it on my computer and after attempting to start it up with two different XS keys (I thought I lost one so I have a replacement and I forget which one is the active one) it says "no XS key found" to both of them.
    I want to upgrade to Logic 8 but in the mean time I can't even get Logic 6 to recognize my XS key.
    Please help me out if you have any information that would be beneficial or know where I could seek help!
    Thank you!
    Colin C.

    When you plugin them in, are they recognised in System Profiler? Try differnt ports, connecting them directly and not on a hub. Try on a different computer if necessary.
    You can also try running:

  • I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

  • Logic express and pro 7 to logic studio 9 upgrade question

    I have logic express 7, logic studio 7, and just upgraded to logicstudio 9, but my serial number is not recognized. All my copies should be registered with apple already, so how should i best remedy this?

    Hi again and thanks for the reply.
    I tried to follow your instructions but isn't working still. I think I did something wrong. Here is what I did:
    1. Went to Midi Setup, double clicked on IAC driver and then checked the "device is online" box. It says its on Bus 1.
    2a. In pro tools, went to peripherals, at the synchronization tab I left MTC reader port: ANY and put MTC Generator Port: IAC Driver, Bus 1
    2b. Then went to the Machine Control tab, enabled MIDI Machine Control and set it to IAC Driver, Bus 1.
    3a. In Logic Express I went to preferences>Midi>Sync and selected listen to MMC Input and took Midi Clock off. I see where it says MTC but there isn't a place to make it the slave.
    I know I'm not doing this right because I hit play on Pro Tools and Logic Express just laughs at me
    Can you help me through this. I'm a novice with Macs and Syncing.
    Thanks again friend.

  • Another RAM upgrade question

    Hi everyone,
    I know there seems to be lots of RAM upgrade questions here but hey thats what forums are for.
    I'm looking to upgrade my macbook's RAM it's currently got 2GB (2x1GB)
    Is it possible to purchase 1x4GB and put that with one of my current 1GB sticks to create a total of 5GB?
    I would be interested to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it.
    Thanks in advance

    This will work if your MacBook is late '07 or newer.

  • Upgrading from Emagic Logic 5?

    Hey there,
    I recently moved from Windows to Mac, and therefore my old Logic Xskey suddenly looks very interesting again. Since Logic was unavailable to me for quite some time I moved to Cubase, but I never really liked it. Now I am on a Mac I tried to figure out how I can upgrade my old Logic 5 Gold license, but I can only see that there is an upgrade path from Logic Audio 5 to Logic Express, not to Pro or Studio. Is there a direct upgrade path as well, or do I have to get Express first and then move on from there?
    Regards
    Thomas

    I'm not sure where on the site they say this, but I do know that this is exactly what I did. I upgraded from Logic Audio 6 to Logic Express 7, skipping Express 6, using the upgrade package.
    When you buy the upgrade, you get the DVD with Logic Express 7, and after you install it, you need your XSKey to authorize it the first time. Then you put in the serial number that comes with it, and you're off, never to need your XSKey again, unless you want to use the EXS24 editor in Logic 6.
    Don't worry -- it will work.
