Change FCP Serial Number?
For about three months, I've been toying with FCP Studio 2 on another one of my systems and final bought a second license. The deal is, I really don't want to uninstall the entire package simply to change the serial number - Does anyone know a way (like deleting prefs) which would require me to enter my new Serial Number?
Please save me the hassle of installing 5 DVD discs. Thanks, -C |
its probably easier re-installing than wait on the phone for apple support to find out the answer.

Yes, there are a couple of hidden files that need to get deleted (at least that's how it used to work). They are in the System/Library/Application Support stuff somewhere.
If you use terminal, you can use the 'ls -al' (without the quotes) to see the hidden files and info about them. 'cd directory_name' will change directories for you (cd and ls are the mainstay of the terminal if you're unfamiliar - Change Directory and LiSt). If your directory names have spaces (like "Application Support"), either escape the space with a backslash (above the return key on the right side of the keyboard - the other one that everyone calls the backslash is actually the forward slash -- so annoying ;) ) or encase the name in single quotes... example: Code:
cd 'Application Support' Specifically, I believe it's this one: Code:
/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut Pro System ID |
Excellent!

This was totally what I needed. All you have to do is move the Final Cut Studio System ID file from the desktop. Here is what the window says:
