  • Final Cut Studio 2 update, broken serial number

    Posted by Gil Gildner on September 15, 2008 at 3:31 am

    I have owned Final Cut Studio 2 for some time now, and it’s worked flawlessly. I’ve downloaded updates for it as they come out but never had a problem until now.

    I recently downloaded a bunch of updates (iTunes, Front Row, and something for FCP). And ever since then, FCP will not open. Soundtrack Pro, Motion, all the others will open, but FCP is asking me for a serial number. I have repeatedly tried to enter the serial number I have on my box but it does not accept it.

    This really had to happen RIGHT when I needed FCP rather urgently. Gah!

    Thanks for any help! I appreciate it.
