Unable to access original serial number

Hi
I've got Logic 8 and Logic Studio Upgrade.
My macbook white died after 6 or 7 good years and I now have a new MBP and trying to to do a fresh install of Logic.
Unfortunately it's asking for the original Serial No (Logic 8) which is in storage in UK and I'm living in Dubai, UAE.
Both products are registered with Apple in my name so does anyone have any idea of a way round this?
Can't seem to find a way to contact Apple through the website any more as presumably they should be able to help?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi Bob The Brit,
I believe the reason why you are getting the validation error is because you have purchased an upgrade license and on the other hand I am not able to find an upgrade license under your account. Best bet is to contact our support and they should be able to get the best option for you.
Contact Customer Care

  • Access Original Serial Number after Upgrade

    Hi guys, in a bind here...
    My Mac Pro needs to be wiped and all my software will have to be installed.
    My problem is that our editor has been let go and he stole our FCS 2 and FCS 3 upgrade disks and packaging.
    I still have FCS 3 installed, so I can access one of the serial numbers in the "About Final Cut Pro" window, although I'm not sure if that would be the original serial or the upgrade.
    Is there a way for me to find both serials inside of Final Cut? That way I can just borrow someone else's disks and then use my serials to reinstall?
    Thanks...

    Touche. But I'm afraid you took my comments personally.
    Sure, we kept them under lock and key. However, we assumed that they were with all of our other software in our locked file cabinet when we let our editor go. Now, 2 months later, we've discovered that they aren't there. Mistakes happen, no need to rub it in.
    I assumed there would be an easy solution...
    For anyone who needs to know, Apple has sent a new serial number for us. However, they were going to charge me $100+ for replacement disks. I'll just use my friends' disks and my new serial number.
    Lesson learned!

    I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

    If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5.  If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version.  Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

    If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
    I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

  • HT1338 i am unable to get my serial number right after updating my logic pro

    i am unable to get my serial number  for pro logic right after updating the software

    If you bought the boxed set of Logic Studio 2.0  which includes LP9, then you cannot  download it. You must use the disks that came as part of the boxed set... to install from.
    If you bought the App Store version of Logic Pro 9 then go to the Mac App Store App,  Sign into the Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LP originally, look under the Purchase Tab and you shouldl find LP9 ready and waiting for you to download and install.

  • Can't find original serial number - have update numbers, can't open Aperture on new mac

    I just bought a new apple pro and moved over aperture from my imac.  When I try to access aperture on the tower, it asks for my aperture 1 serial number which I cannot find.  (I have the update number.) I no longer have the box.  I registered when I bought my first aperture, and that number must be in my system. I still have the imac.  Where can I find this number?

    The information may be in your Apple Store account.
    Just today, I was in the same situation and having received Aperture 1.5 as a gift, I could not provide a proof of purchase (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861).
    The AppleCare representative sent me to my Apple Store account (store.apple.com - "Account" is at the top right) since I had bought the Aperture 2 and 3 upgrades online.  There, I clicked on "Downloadable software puchases" and I got the list of software including the serial numbers. I entered the v3 upgrade serial number first and then the v2 upgrade and it worked -- even though I did not have the original serial number for v1.5.
    Hope it helps.

  • Message: "Please Enter Your Original Serial Number"

    I have Aperture 3.2.2 running on my Mac Pro. I have in the past purchased Aperture 1, then 2, then 3.
    I then did the updgrade to 3.2.2
    I have the serial numbers of 1 & 2 and the serial number for the 3.2.2. I have the three install disks but unable to locate the one for 3.0.
    Using SuperDuper I have backed up my Mac Pro to my MacBook and the 3.2.2 was duly transferred over.
    However, when I try to start Aperture 3.2.2 on my MacBook, I get a window requiring me to enter my serial number.
    I enter the serial number I have for the 3.2.2 upgrade, but it is refused and I am asked for the original serial number - which I take
    to be the 3.0 ... tried the 1, 2 & 3.2.2 numbers all to no avail.
    I can't recall how I installed 3.0 as I have no disks here on file, although it is obvious I couldn't have used the upgrade disk if I didn't
    have 3.0 legit on my MacPro.
    Tried to contact Apple to straighten this out but unable to get a live person on the line.
    Your assistance would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Ron

    Usually you should install Aperture from the original media, but if you do no longer have the install disk, try these links:

  • RELOAD ORIGINAL SERIAL NUMBER??

    Just got my MacBook Pro back from service (Logic board replacement) and I am now being asked for the Serial Number for my original Aperture 1.5 purchase before I can use Aperture. Since I am on travel, I do not have immediate access to the original serial number and the receipt that I have from two years ago does not have the serial number available. Any ideas??

  • We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design Standart. What's wrong with my key or why won't it validate?

    I bought the CS6 Design Standard student and teacher edition over amazon. I activated the product on my adobe account and got a serial number. But when I install the package and enter the serial number I a message saying "We are unable to validate this serial number for Creative Suit 6 Design Standard. Please contact Customer Support."
    Does anyone know what is up with this? I am sure that the problem isn't anything along the lines of making mistakes when typing in the serial (tried it multiple times, used copy paste to reduce chance of error). It's also not any problem with me lacking an internet connection adobe to validate the serial.

    Serial number questions can't be handled on the forums. You'll need to talk to Customer Support either by phone or web chat.

  • "We are unable to validate this serial number". I purchased this product when a serial number on the back of the box.

    I have a Mac. I purchased a adobe photoshop elements 12 program in a Sam's Club Store. When I tried to install it the program said We are unable to validate this serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12. Please I need your help as soon as possible to resolve this issue and then, use my purchased product.

    then you are using the wrong number or there's a connection issue.  your serial number is 6 groups of 4 numbers.

  • Please enter your original serial number, or insert your logic XSkey

    I just re-installed Logic Pro on my new Mac, but upon launching, it asks me for serial #.  Apparently, I'm using the "upgrade" serial, so after I put in the number, it says "Please enter your original serial number, or insert your logic XSkey".  I've searched my big Logic 8 box, but all I have are manuals and disks, with no serial #.  I can't find the old dongle either, since I've been using without it on my previous computer.  How do I get past this?

    Thanks for that post Bee Jay,
    Just tried doing this, didn't work, after closing logic and re-opening without the XSKey it brings up the same 2 boxes, first to insert my upgrade serial and then the original serial. I really hope there is going to be an upgrade to fix this problem as otherwise it looks like ill be stuck with XSKey after all.
