Ahh, one more thing guys, this may be part of the problem with apple. I remember that Apple offered an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5.1 from a previous non Intel/Leopard incompatible version of their Pro apps.

It was an online upgrade purchased through the online Apple Store. If I remember correctly, I had to return the previous software media, before they would send out the 5.1 upgrade pack.

So even if I deleted the ID file, I’m dubious whether the serial no I have will work, as it was an upgrade??? hmmm, the plot thickens!!

Thanks again for everyones help.

Thanks everyone for your time. Unfortunately, I bought a USB case for my old int HD and now use it for my tunes, so I don’t have my old system anymore, only the time machined copy, so I’m unable to clone anything.

Could I partition a section of my current 500gb int drive and reinstall FCP, without having to wipe the entire drive? If I can’t do that, I think it’s the end of road jack 🙁

Thanks a million Walter.

As I’ve got a hefty 500GB drive, could I uninstall all my pro apps, and partition the drive (there’s 300GB free) and re install the pro apps on that drive???

Or would I need to start from scratch, which would not be fun.

Thanks in advance
