  FCS 2 asks for serial numbers on every load up

  Posted by Eriq Wities on February 27, 2008 at 4:57 pm

  I upgraded from FCS 1 to FCS 2. Now every time I open up any FCS 2 program, I get prompted to enter in my name and serial number. Has anyone ever seen this? Any way around it? Thanks.

  UPDATE:

  I read on this thread

  That it is likely to be related to my previous version of FCS 1 still on the system somewhere. Before I dedicate a day to wiping my OS clean and reinstalling everything, can anyone confirm that this is the solution? Does anyone have any ideas on a faster troubleshooting strategy?

  Go to Library/Application Support/Pro Apps and delete the FCP System ID. Then input your serial code after launching fcp again.

  that might work.

  That did the trick. Thanks Chris!
