Why is Logic pro (downloaded from mac app store) asking me for a serial number?

I recently bought this mac and haven't had any previous downloads on it. I've managed to download and install logic pro as well as the 2GB "essential" add-on. As I clicked to download the additional 19GB of extras it asked me for a serial number that it says would be on my packaging. I obviously don't have this. I quit logic and tried to open it again and it is asking me for the serial number just to get into logic. Really stuck on this one.

It's compatible. Note that there's an App Store (for iPhones, iPads and iPods touch) and a Mac App Store (for Macs, available since Mac OS X 10.6.6). Just open the Mac App Store and purchase Logic Pro 9

Can't download a previously bought Logic Pro 9 from mac app store

Hello,
I have just bought a new Mac mini, and I tried to download LP9 from the appstore (I had already bought it), but I can't find it in the "Purchases" tab.
I tried to get it from https://www.apple.com/fr/logicpro/ but when it launchs the mac app store says it's not avaible in my country...
I payed for it, so I'd really like to use it.
As I need it for tomorrow, a little help would be appreciate!
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If I'm not wrong, Logic Pro 9 isn't available anymore for download. Anyway, first check if it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928

Downloading Logic Pro 9 from Mac App Store

What exactly will I be getting from the Logic Pro package available on the mac app store? How exactly does it differ from the full studio version (everything minus MainStage ?)
I am following David Nahmani's Logic Pro 9 book ... does the mac app store version contain have all the jam packs and loops (if not, how does one download/access the extra content?)
I was ready to go through Nahmani's book, but couldn't even access the "Trip Hop" loops in chapter one in the version I have...thinking about getting the mac app store version if it's all inclusive.
Thanks

The Appstore version of Logic Pro is the same as that in the Studio version, but you do need to download all the Additional Content from within Logic (see the Logic Pro menu).
The Studio package included MainStage, Soundtrack Pro (now discontinued), Waveburner (discontinued), Compressor (now available separately on the Appstore), plus a bunch of other bits and pieces.
The Nahamani book includes some 'extra' Appleloops to cater for those without the full set of JamPacks

Hmm.... so you already have the "Logic Studio" version, with all the content installed????

Is there a way to download Logic Pro 9 from the app store, as I have already purchased the Logic Studio CDs?

Hello!
I purchased the Logic Studio CD set in a retail store two years ago or so, and I was wondering if there was a way to have the app store recognize this purchase so all I need to do is download Logic Pro 9 from the app store when I get my new iMac (without a disc drive) this month?
Thanks much,
Elliott

Hi
Short answer: No. You cannot convert "DVD" licences to Appstore ones.
I'd suggest that you:
Make Disk Images of the DVD's on your current Mac, and use those for future installs
Make use of the "Remote Install"/DVD drive sharing feature
Buy and External DVD drive

Where is my download from Mac App Store

I just purchased Logic Pro 9x from the app store, and unfortunately, it did an install, which I did not want to happen...anyway just a few questions:
1. Typically where are the downloaded files incase I need to install again for some reason
2. Typically where are the collection of instruments that downloaded when i started the program
3. I was under the impression that I would run Logic 8x and Logic 9x separately. Is this not the case?
4. Am I to assume that once I purchase something from the App store, I can download it ANYTIME I need to....forever?
Sorry for the questions that might seem obvious to many of you. I am a Windows user, who only turns on the Mac Pro to do music.......
Thanks in advance for your help...!

Most apps from the Mac App Store (MAS) are downloaded and installed as a drag & drop app into the Applications folder. There is no further installation needed and authorization of the purchase is authorization of installation.
Large apps may be downloaded as an installer app that appears in the Applications folder and opens automatically soon after the download completes, however it proceeds no further in the installation process without your authorization to do so. You may elect to quit the installer and run it later. These installers often self-delete after they have completed the installation. If you wish to install the app again, you will need to either make a duplicate of the installer before you run it the first time and store it or redownload the installer as needed in the future.
I believe that if you right click over the app's icon you will see a contextual menu that offers Show package contents as an option. Choosing this option should reveal that the app has associated folders, typically plug-ins, presets, etc. The instruments may be in one of those folders.
Usually a new paid upgrade to an app does not replace the previous version of the app. So Logic v8 and v9 should be able to exist as individual apps in the Apps folder. But there is no guarantee that OS X would not become confused by this or that the apps for some reason may not try to share their associated resources. A minor update, however, ( v 8.6 -> v 8.7) does replace the previous version.
Apple constantly tells folks to make back up copies of their apps because there is no guarantee that an app will always be available for download in the future. And the app available in the MAS is usually only the most recent version. Previous versions then become unavailable for future download. And newer versions may be restricted to only run in the most recent version of OS X.

Hi there, I am having the same problem, but with Error 13 instead. I can see apps I've downloaded in my purchased apps, but when I try to install them that's when I get the error message. See attached image!

Although there will be many here that will sympathise with your situation, this is a user to user forum. Apple don't come here. The store (if you go to apple.com) now do real time chats. Failing that you'd need to call them to sort your issue out.
Hope this helps

How can I copy installation/setup files of an App downloaded from Mac App Store?

I just purchased and downloaded Xcode on my Macbook Pro and now want to install the same on my MacBook Air and iMac but I don't want download them again and again. Isin't their anyway by which I can copy the installation/setup files of that App and paste it on another Mac and use my iTunes account credentials to verify the App with Apple servers, so that they know it's legit install. And also keep the copy as backup so that, I can install that App again after I format my computer or use it for future use.
I live in a third world country and aren't blessed with high speed and unlimited bandwidth connection.

The Mac App Store remembers all apps you purchase with your account. Apps you purchase and install from Mac App Store can also be copied to an external hard drive, USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, or backed up via Time Machine.
If you save a copy of an app to removable media (such as an external hard drive) or file share, simply drag the app back from its storage location to your Applications folder. When you open the restored app for the first time, you may be required to sign in with the Apple ID account that was used to purchase the app.

Cannot accept, was downloaded from Mac App store

cannot accept,updated flash player/adobe since it was downloaded from Mac App store

What exactly means "cannot"?

Would I be able to re-download a purchased app (Logic Pro 9), from the app store, if it has been replace by an upgraded version (Logic X)?

I've purchased Logic Pro 9 for $200 on the app store. I've invested time and moneny into plugins and creating music with this DAW. Ever since Logic X replaced the previous version, I've been worrying about whether or not I'd be able to re-download my Logic 9. When I go to the "Purchased" tab in the App Store, it says that the app is unavailable. I'll be going to college soon and I want to take my Logic 9 from my iMac to a MacBook Pro. However, when the time comes to move to the MacBook Pro, would I have to spend another $200 for a version that I don't want?

Your purchased copy of LP9 that you bought from the Mac App store.. should appear under the Purchase Tab so long as you have signed into the Mac App Store using the original Apple ID you used to purchase it in the first place....
If it doesn't.. simply sign out of the Mac App Store via the menu item Store/Sign Out.. and sign back in again using your original Apple ID and it should then reappear....
Also remember.. not to click on the LP9 icon itself in the entry under the Purchase tab.. but the download/install button to the far right of it's entry under the Purchase tab... and don't try to download it anywhere else in the Mac App Store as you will then get that 'Unavailable' message...

Why isn't OS X Mountain Lion not downloading from Mac App Store?

Hi all,
I have recently downloaded the OS upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store for £13.99, and it is't downloading. Since purchasing I have received the bill from Apple outlining I have purchased the item. But nothing has happened as yet. I have looked under purchases in the Mac App Store and it just shows the progression bar...
79.3 MB of 4.37 GB - Calculating...
I have restarted my IMac many times and still nothing!!!
What can I do?? I have the icon for Mountain Lion in the dock but the only options available I can see are... Pause, or Cancel Download.
Please help!!!
I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Thanks in advance

It looks stuck, and at this point, you probably ought to cancel the download and start it over again. (No worries about paying again... once you buy something in the App Store, you own it for as long as it stays in the store and can re-download it all you like.)
Also, before you consider installing the upgrade, note that there are some things you should do:
1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
6) Install the upgrade.
Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

Is logic pro 9 from the app store compatible with my Mac pro?

I have a Mac pro 5.1. Logic pro 9 is available at the app store. Usually they are for IPads or IPhones. Is Logic Pro 9 compatible with my Mac Pro?

It's compatible. Note that there's an App Store (for iPhones, iPads and iPods touch) and a Mac App Store (for Macs, available since Mac OS X 10.6.6). Just open the Mac App Store and purchase Logic Pro 9

Error message when trying to download from Mac App Store

When I try to download an app in the Mac App Store I get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. Error Unknown." Sometimes it says: "There is an error in the Mac App Store". This has been going on for a couple of days now. I have tried signing out of the Mac App Store, logging out of my User Account, and then signing back in, as has been suggested in other threads. But that did not work.
Suggestions?

Here is an update and more information: I actually have two MBP's. One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012. I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently. This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012. I have authorized both computers.
