  • change serial number?

    Posted by Liam Lawyer on June 25, 2007 at 3:15 pm

    Greetings all!

    Got an odd one for ya.. does anyone know how to change the serial number associated with final cut pro? I accidentally used the wrong one during the install so now I have 2 machines with the same serial number on my network and only one will work because of that..

    Do I need to reinstall all over again (uhg!)?

    Thanks!

    – Liam

    Go to Library/Application Support/Pro Apps and delete the FCP System ID. You’ll have to put in a new one when you launch the application.

    All the best,

    Tom

    I had the same problem and this solution worked. However, FCP is prompting me to enter the new serial number every time I restart. Do I have to reinstall the entire Final Cut Studio package?
