  • Installing FCP upgrade on new machine — do I need to install regular version first?

    Posted by Jordan Wilson on April 23, 2010 at 8:56 pm

    Hey,

    Working on a new iMac and have the sealed upgrade version of FCS3.

    Had FCS2 on an old computer.

    Here’s my question.

    Do I have to first install FCS2 on my new iMac in order to be able to install FCS3 upgrade version? Or can I just install the upgrade version and enter the serial number from the FCS2?

    Thanks!

    Yes. That’s all you have to do.

    No you just need the SN from the old version.
