  • changing serial number in FCP5

    Posted by E2sara on September 9, 2005 at 11:43 pm

    I bought two copies of FCP5 and accidently used the same serial number when installing them on two different machines. Is there a way to switch the serial number without reinstalling? I have tried to uninstall final cut and then reinstall, but it keeps reverting back to the old serial number.

    Thanks.

    Did you find out how to fix this? I just ran into this problem. I thought that deleting the package files would fix the problem.

    Go to /Library/Application Support/Pro Apps and trash the Final Cut Pro or Studio System ID. You’ll be asked for a new serial number when you next launch the application.

    All the best,

    Tom
