What do I do if my Logic Studio Serial number was stolen, box and all?

So, my box for Logic Studio that I've had since 2010 was stolen, as well as my old computer...and external hardrive where the serial number was backed up. Can apple verify it is me via email, social security, anything, or am I just kind of screwed, and can't use the software I paid for?
Just wondering for a solution, because it has everyhting to do with my lively hood and feeding myself.
I know that these requests are probably a bane of Apple's, but I am willing to verify my information by whatever means necessary, as I would like to just use the software I have paid for. Is there really no protocol for "everything I owned pertaining to technology got stolen"? Life happens, and so did mine, it was out of my control and I find it fairly unjust that I cannot use anything I used to be able to, now that I finally have a computer again after 2 years.
Thanks, anything helps I suppose.

Something that seems to come up time and time again....
...is when someone loses their serial number for whatever reason.. the last thing they seem to want to do or try.. is to call Apple
Whereas, that would be the very first thing I would do...
Odd huh?

  • Lost Logic Studio serial number

    I have lost the box containing all the disks and serial codes for logic studio yet I can prove I purchased it via paypal etc but my question is how do i go about recovering the serial code or getting a new one from apple?
    any help is greatly apprreciated

    On your mac click Logic studio on the top left corner and click about. It should show the serial number there. If this does not work, take it to your local apple store.

  • Mainstage always crashes before even start after I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. Doesn't matter if I use 32bit or 64bit mode. What to do? I bought Logic Studio 9 as a hard box at a retail store (including Logic Pro 9, Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro, Compresso

    Mainstage always crashes after I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. Doesn't matter if I choose 32bit or 64bit mode. I sent all the error reports to Apple but no help from there. I heard rumours that Mountain Lion creates the problem. With Lion I had no problem. Logic Pro runs without issues. So what can I do now? Do I have to reinstall Logic Studio and then download all the updates again? Hopefully not.. Any advice? Thanks to all! Ben

    Try delete the mainstage preferences
    from USER/library/preferences   com.apple.mainstage.plist
    even if you are running mainstage 2.1.3 and not 2.2.2  it should work with mountain lion

  • Logic Studio Serial Number Deactivation

    Hi all,
    I have searched the Apple Support Communities and Google to try and get a answer to my question. I have also tried the Apple Online Support (and they suggested that I call their technical department, that are now shut!!!).
    How do I deactivate the serial number on Logic Studio? The reason is that I currently use Mountain Lion OS but it's become a nightmare (constantly freezing and really slowing down), so I am going to go back to Snow Leopard as this was the most stable OS that I have used. I haven't done a time machine back up (and I didn't have Logic when I was using Snow Leopard anyway).
    I want to reinstall Logic Studio once I have installed Snow Leopard onto my Macbook Pro, but am concerned that if I don't deactivate it properly that I will have issues as the serial number will already be allocated. If I was to uninstall the software, would that automatically deactivate the serial number? If so, how can I uninstall it properly (It's not like Adobe software where you have an uninstall folder/option within the applications folder)?
    I have tried the help within the software, but to no avail, and I just want to have Snow Leopard back on my machine as the bugs and lack of stability with Mountain Lion are driving me crazy!
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick reply .
    So... If I was to erase my hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, then reinstall Logic, does this pose any issues with the licence? Would I have to make Apple aware, or can I just reinstall Logic onto Snow Leopard, no problems?
    Thanks

  • Logic Studio Serial Number not accepted for Logic Studio 9 updates

    I just purchased an upgrade from Logic Express to Logic Studio 9. I wanted to download the updates to current versions from http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/download/, but my serial number wasn't accepted on that page. I've checked the numbers (I copied them from the registration dialog just before pressing return - yes, the letters are all caps). Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

    I've seen lots of people posting about their serial not working yesterday, and experiencing it myself with my own serial.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2297318&tstart=0
    I'm guessing their gateway server that authorizes the download by verifying your serial number had "issues" yesterday, probably caused by demand. I'm sure Apple posted the direct download page because of this.

  • HT2375 Retrieving Logic Studio serial number

    My harddrive crashed recently and I didn't have my Logic application backed up.
    I still have the install DVDs but not the box with the serial number.
    Does Logic automatically register online when you first install it? Is there a way I can retrieve my serial number?
    ps - it is the Academic version.

  • Is it possible to tell what OS is on the device by the serial number on the box?

    I just got a BB curve and it has OS 4.3. I want OS 4.5 but I have a mac so I can't load it. I also went to several sprint stores and they couldn't update my BB for me.
    So, I am wondering if you can tell what OS may be on the device (i.e., the date of manufacture) from the serial number. If you can, does anybody have any idea what to look for in the SS number or how to interpret it? I'm thinking of going back to the store where I bought mine and replacing it with a new one with a later serial number and I want to make sure that I get one with 4.5.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You'll have to do the update on a PC. However once you update to 4.5 you can make use of the wireless upgrade feature

  • Can you figure out from a G4 logic board serial number what it is?

    Can you figure out from a G4 logic board serial number what it is? for example if it is single or dual processor support, and the speed, i know you can check the case serial number in the apple site, but can't for the life of me figure out the logic board serial number, if any one could help identify what G4 it comes form that would be great, Can you figure out from a G4 logic board serial number what it is?

    many thanks

    Hi, Forrest!
    The Chipmunk site was my first thought when I read the initial post, but although it returns a manufacturing date of the fourth week (Jan) of 2003, I'm not sure that's even accurate, since Chipmunk couldn't return any more info than that.
    I wonder if an Apple Store Genius would/could look it up for him...

  • Finding Logic Pro Serial Number w/o Install Disk

    I installed Logic Studio Version 9 a long time ago, and until now, have had no problem moving the application from computer to computer. However, after recently migrating all my stuff from a Macbook running Lion to an iMac running Mountain Lion, I can't open Logic. It asks me for a serial number I've long since lost track of, from an instal disk I no longer have. Is there any place within the installed software itself to locate the serial number?

    I lost my Logic 9 serial, i had moved house and we were flooded out about 6 months before i lost it and had to chuck a lot of paperwork out that was caught in the water.  I wanted to put it on to my new mac, and like a fool i had uninstalled it from my older iMac so was left with nothing but the disks.
    Contacted Apple and they were no help whatsoever for me, i was really annoyed with them, complained and hit a brick wall where they couldn't offer to help as i could find no receipt either, never offered to check their system for me.
    Luckily i had put the serial number in my old iMac box, which i didn't discover until a few weeks later, along with the receipt.
    I was so pleased to find it!   ...but i do resent Apple a little after my dealings, really felt hung out to dry.  As LP9 had just appeared on the app store at the time i did wonder if they were trying to drop any 'old school' boxed LP9/Logic Studio enquiries.
    If they do provide you with a new serial, i beleive there's a fee for it too from my correspondance so it may be worth checking out what that is first, and whether you're best putting that into Logic Pro X. 
    Also, if you have Logic running on any of your old machines i think you can go to the About menu and it's displayed on there.

  • Logic 9 Serial Number Not Valid

    I recently backed up my computer and did a complete OS reinstall (starting from stratch and not using the old image due to old corruption files). I then decided to manualy copy over Logic Pro 9 files from the backup drive to the new image. I went to open Logic and it asked for my serial number. I typed it in and then it decided to crash on me. Well no big deal, I probably didn't copy all the files. So I deleted as many files as I could find and then proceded to reinstalling Logic 9 from my Logic Studio disc set. Entered name and the serial key during the beggining of the install and it says "Serial Number Not Valid" and asked me to type it again and gives me the same message. After 3 failed attempts, it closes the installation program. I have tripple checked my spelling in the key and have checked forums regarding this problem. I have already attempted to move the ID files in Library/Application Support/ProApps to the desktop; no change. Any input would be nice. Thank you.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 on a MacBook pro 2012.

    Was your copy of Logic Studio 2.0 (the one containing LP9) a full version  or an upgrade version?
    If it was an upgrade version you need to enter your original LP8 serial first.... and then it will ask for your LP9 upgrade serial...
    If it was the full version, contact Apple directly and ask for their assistance.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    or use the online webpage to obtain a replacement serial number...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note: Once you have successfully installed LP9.. you must upgrade LP9 to the latest version 9.1.8 before you run it, via software updates... as you are running Mavericks...

  • HT1349 I don't have a MAC, I have an HP pavilion a706n so I don't know what the serial number is. The HP serial number was accepted and neither was my itunes serial number. Does anyone know where to find the serial number?

    I am trying to find the serial number that is required by itunes for troubleshooting. But the trouble is, I don't know what it is.
    My computer is a HP (not a MAC). I have the itunes serial number. Before loosing my almost 5000 songs I was using an
    older version of itunes. I thought if I upgraded to the new version that I would get my itunes back. When I noticed the songs
    were gone was when I was taking saved items from my documents into a new 500G hard drive I bought yesterday. After
    loading a bunch of stuff it (not any itunes) I went into itunes and ALL of my songs were gone. What happened? What should
    I do? & Where is that serial number they are talking about?

    Hi Susan,
    Not sure why your post ended up in the Apple Server section but here goes.
    By default your music should be located in one of the following locations
    which you can see by clicking on My Computer
    Windows XP - C:\ - Documents & Settings - Username (your name or your login name) - My Music - iTunes
    Windows Vista/7 - C:\ - Users - Username - My Music - iTunes
    it's unlikely your music has been wiped and more likely that iTunes can't find the library file that tells it what music is in your collection and where it's located. This can happen if you renamed or moved one of the folders above to something/somewhere else. Another idea is to do a search and look for files in a format used by iTunes such as .mp3 or .aac which might show you where they are.
    Hope that helps
    Beatle

  • I was recently given Adobe Premiere Elements 9, it keeps saying the serial number on the box is invalid. What can I do?

    I was recently given Adobe Premiere Elements 9 from a friend who no longer uses it and knew I was interested in it. but when it comes to installing it, it keeps saying the serial number on the box is invalid. What can I do?
    I have tried entering it all different ways. I'm not dumb I know which one is the serial number this isn't my first Adobe product. Any help would be welcomed.

  • I recently bought  Lightroom and installed on one of my computes. I wanted to instal the program on another computer I have, using the same serial number I already bought and I'm not alowed as it says that the SN is not valid. What shall I do?

    I recently bought  Lightroom and installed on one of my computes. I wanted to instal the program on another computer I have, using the same serial number I already bought and I'm not alowed as it says that the SN is not valid. What shall I do?

    It is possible that you downloaded the Creative Cloud trial of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, this will not interfere with your catalog, preferences and personal files.
    Download the appropriate version from the link below and install, your license key will be accepted and everything will be fine.

  • What revision is my 5G iPod? Will Serial Number tell me?

    My local Apple store just replaced my 5G ipod (one of the early ones) because it kept re-booting. My question is, how can I tell when the new one was made? What revision is it?
    It's serial number starts with 2Z631 and it's model # MA147ll.
    btw, Cheers to the Apple Genius for not giving me a big hassle or acting like it must be my fault (though he did say he hadn't heard of this problem before. Are they trained to say that? Do they ever read the forums?) Anyway, kudos to Apple.

    Two corrections:
    1. The Model # is A1136, not MA147LL, which I guess is
    the "Part #."
    2. My grammar stinks. There shouldn't be an apostrophe on the "it's."
    Thanks.
