Trying to upgrade from Logic Express 7 to 8 and it won't do it!

I've had a copy of Logic Express 7 for a couple of years now but it was a "Not For Resale" version.
Will that interfere with my upgrade to version 8?

What I probably should have said was that I have been running a "Not For Resale" version of Logic Express 7.1.1 for a while now. I tried to upgrade to the new Logic Express 8.0 but it won't allow because the serial number that came with the "NFS" version is apparently not valid.
Do I need to go back to the original "Big Box" install and use that serial number or should I just re-install everything from the "Big Box"?

  • Upgrading from Logic Express 7.0 to 7.1 doesn't work

    When I try to upgrade from Logic Express 7.0.1 to LE 7.1 I get an error message saying the installed version is a later version than the upgrade I'm trying to apply.
    I have upgraded from OS X.3.6 to X.4.0 since installing LE 7.0.1.
    Any clues about what's going on with this time-warp problem?

    This is exactly the same problem I have had, despite down loading several times (just in case), and even using a different machine (again, just in case). Needless to say, the query I posted on the Apple Logic help site has not been responded to!
    Fortunately, Logic Express still works but it would be nice to be running the latest (functioning) version

  • Logic Pro Upgrade from Logic Express 8 + Lion. Please help

I have been told that logic 8 doesnt work on lion, but i need to install it before i can install my upgrade to logic 9. Can someone help??

    I believe you just need the serial and not necassirly the installation of 8 on your system.

  • Upgrade from Logic Express to the new Mac App Store Logic Pro?

    Hey there,
    So I recently bought Logic Express, thinking that sometime in the future I might want to upgrade to Logic Studio. Today Apple announced that Logic Pro is available in the Mac App Store for $200! Is there a way to upgrade from Logic Express to this version?
    Thanks,

  • The synth pad sound Warm Pad has changed after upgrading from Logic Express 7 to Logic Studio

    Hello!
    I have composed a lot of songs over the years using Logic Express 7, and my favourite synth pad sound there was a sound called Warm Pad (from the EXS24 Sampler).
    A half a year ago I upgraded to Logic Studio, mainly because I needed WaveBurner. Happily, all my songs sounded exactly the same after the upgrade, except from 1 sound: The synth pad sound Warm Pad. It still got the same name and location, but the sound was replaced with a very sharp and much more distinct sound (not warm at all, in my ears at least).
    I have tried to replace it with different synth pad sounds from the EXS24 Sampler, and the one I find to come most close to the old Warm Pad from Logic Express, is a synth pad sound called Pad 1. Still, I don’t think it sound exactly the same.
    So, in order to finish all my songs and make an album, I ask you for help:
    1. Do you know how I can get EXACTLY the same sound as the old Warm Pad Logic Express, with my new Logic Studio?
    2. Have you experienced the same with sounds, after upgrading from one Logic version to a newer one? And what have you done to find back to the old sounds?
    I will be VERY thankful for help, because I am not a genius in the mysterious (but yet exiting) world of synthesizer synthesis.

    I have the boxed version of logic studio.
    When you install, if you pick the "ad hoc" installation you can add the logic7 patches to your existing patches.
    I think running installation again you should be able to install just that.

  • Is it worth upgrading from Logic Express 8?

    Seems to do everything I need. I already own all the jam packs. What are the "must have" things that I will get for dropping $200? If it is worth it, I'll upgrade.Most of my recording is MIDI, some acoustic and electric guitars and vocals. I also would like to create sheet music.
    Thanks

    Well, if you're serious about wanting to achieve something, then an upgrade to Logic 9 from Express 8 will definitely be a good thing.
    I originally got into Logic using Express at version 7/8, but there really are a good set of features that have been introduced in 9 that are genuinely useful to most people.
    Features are only 'must have' if you think you need them for a specific purpose - the improvements are pretty basic, but enable you to work better - bouncing in place, creating a new sampler instrument from an audio region, for example, are great ways of doing what I want in a pretty more efficient way than I used to.

  • Upgrade from Logic Express 9 to 9.01 - Upgrade wont recognize my software although it is in the application folder. Any ideas?

    My Logic Express 9.0 is definetly in the Applications folder but the upgrade doesnt find it or says that it is ineligable. Any ideas?
    thanks,

    Hi
    Make sure that your Logic Express app is a) in the Applications Folder (and not in another folder inside Applications), and b) that it is named "Logic Express" with no numbers or spaces after the name.

    Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to OS 10.6?

    You need to use a retail DVD(phone the online Apple Store) and not a downloadable updater or a DVD which originally shipped with a Mac.

  • Trying to upgrade from logic 10.0.7 to 10.1. Help?

    Hello,
    I recently saw that logic has version 10.1 out now, and the you need maverick or later to run it.  I was running mountain lion and logic 10.0.7.  To get the upgrade I upgraded my macbook to yosemeti. But now after going to the app store, its saying I have buy logic 10.1 for 199.99.  Is this true? You mean I can't just upgrade?

    Hi
    Make sure that you are logged in to the AppStore with the AppleID that you used to buy LPX in the first place.

  • Is there any easy way to upgrade from Logic Express?

    I bought it last year because I couldn't afford the full version - then the full version was dropped to the same price and LE was discontinued. I'd love the security of having it attached to my Apple ID, and to upgrade now, but paying the same price again seems a bit much. Is there any way to upgrade?

    You are not alone in your predicament since Apple broke up Logic Studio and discontinued LE.
    If you want to make your next purchase via the App Store (which would be wise for future upgrades) I think you basically have two options:
    1) Even though it would seem like you're buying Logic again for the same price that you paid for LE, you would be getting a lot more in the way of instruments, plug-ins, and loops.  Sculpture, Space Designer, and all 6 Jam Packs for starters.  Not to mention that you would then be set up for updates and upgrades.  You may find this helpful in determining what you would be immediately gaining by buying Logic Pro 9:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4229
    Even though the document shows Logic Studio, if you just eliminate Compressor, Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro, and Waveburner you can still clearly see what you'll be getting.  If all this makes you drool  you can get LP9 now or . . .
    2) You could wait a bit longer and buy Logic Pro X, whenever that is released.

  • I tried to upgrade from FF7 beta to FF7 and now I have no Firefox at all

    I was using the FF7 beta. When I saw that FF7 had been released, I downloaded and tried to install it, without uninstalling the beta first. That may have been a mistake. It got partway through the install process and then asked me to reboot the computer. After the reboot, my FF shortcut no longer worked ("Searching for firefox.exe"). I used another browser to download the installer again and ran it, only to be told that I needed to reboot my computer in order for a previous install to complete. I rebooted; no change. Attempting to remove the existing installation in Add/Remove Programs has not helped, though Mozilla Firefox is no longer listed there.
    I'm using Windows XP and my standard user account doesn't have admin privileges. This hasn't been a problem for Firefox until, perhaps, now. I've tried running the installer from an admin account as well, with the same result.
    Is there anything I can remove manually to fix this?

    OK... I found a Mozilla Support article - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The%20program%20must%20close%20to%20allow%20a%20previous%20installation%20attempt%20to%20complete - which says deleting xpicleanup.dat will solve the problem; but I guess that's out of date (or the presence of that file isn't the only cause of the bug), because there's no xpicleanup.* on my machine. However, elsewhere in this forum - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786890 - I found a suggestion to install the new version somewhere other than the default folder. I did that, and it worked; and it even preserved my bookmarks, add-ons and previously-opened tabs. (If anyone finds this while trying to solve their own upgrade/install failure: choose Custom rather than Standard install, and just change the suggested folder name.)
    The only remaining sign of the problem is the icon in my Quick Launch area: if I try to use it to launch Firefox, I still get the error "Windows cannot open this file: firefox.exe.moz.delete". Having recorded that here for posterity, I'll be replacing the icon.

  • Upgrade to Logic Express 7.2 from Logic Audio 5

    Is it possible to use the LE7.2 upgrade to get from Logic Audio 5 (Big Box version)? The initial blurb on the Apple store suggests this is the case:
    "Upgrade from Logic Express 6, Logic Audio 6 or Logic Audio 5 to Apple's new Logic Express 7"
    The requirements include a free USB port for the XSKey, but the person at the Apple store didn't seem too sure either way.
    Any clarification most appreciated.

    Hi,
    I upgraded from Logic Audio 5 to LE 7 last year, and I THINK it worked like this: the XSKey was required during installation as "proof" that I had an official Logic 5. After installation of LE7, the XSKey was no longer required.
    Regards,
    Jaap
