    [heimchen] “Do i have to install 10.3.9 and then the bundle and then update to Tiger ???. Any quick help appreciated.”

    Nope, do a clean install of Tiger, run Software Update to update everything in the OS and Quicktime. Then install FCP Studio.

    If the old serial number is giving you a problem, call Apple for help on the installation. I’ve installed both my copies of FCP Studio on the two machines here (one upgrade copy, one full copy) and installation was normal on both.

    Not sure what you are dealing with, but I recently updated my G4 to Tiger and FCP Studio and it all seems to work great.

    I started by “emptying” the startup drive during the boot of of the DVD install disk and then installing 10.4. I then updated to 10.4.1 and then I started the install of Studio.

    Since I actually removed the former boot disk and installed a new dirve, there was not trace of the former FCP HD, DVDSP 3 and Motion, but after starting by putting in the one serial number for the entire Studio, it prompts me for the 3 latest serial numbers. Historically, when updating from an earlier version of an application, you would need the original serial numbers from the first full purchased version.

    This installer wants the serial numbers from the latest apps – FCP HD, DVDSP 3 and Motion 1.0
