    Hi,

    I have a licensed FCS2 installed in one of the edit suites. One of our editor unknowingly installed his personal copy in the edit suite he is using but used the same licensed i installed. Since they are in a network, either one of them can be used because it doesn’t allow to use the same license.

    I have a new FCS2 license now but during installation, the window to enter the license is not there. How can i enter the new license? I tried to uninstall but when i reinstalled it, it’s the same thing. How can i completely uninstall it.

    Thank you.

    Trash the Final Cut Studio System ID in Library/Application Support/ProApps.

    All the best,

    I had to uninstall the other day.

    People here at the Cow said to me that it’s easier to just removing everything and re-install everything. You can’t just do one program since they are all “connected.”

    To cleanly uninstall, i downloaded FCS remover. It was fast and easy. Then reinstalling was simple.
