Can you use Final Cut software that you’ve bought used from someone else?
I’m new to Apple computers and software. I have an older power mac currently running Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro version 5. I want to buy Final Cut Pro version 6 from someone who doesn’t need it any more. Can I buy this software and install it on my computer if I have all the correct documentation? I would buy version 7 but my computer does not have Intel chips in it and I’m told it will not run version 7. Went to the Apple store and was told that “no” I couldn’t do this by one tech and “yes” you could do it by another.

I would think that it would be OK, as long as they have not used the license to upgrade to a newer version.
I wonder if it’s possible to de-register the product, so that you can re-register as the new owner. That way, you could buy the upgrades later-on. -
I’m not sure if this is the most current one, but it usually is listed like this:
