QT Pro 6 Key needed at DVinfo.net

Stylianos Moschapidakis · June 3rd, 2005, 01:05 PM

I'd like to purchase a Pro 6 Key that would unlock my QT Player 6.0.1 but Apple doesn't seem to be selling 6 Keys any more. Any ideas as to where I could find a Pro 6 Key that would work with my version of QT? Thank you.

(BTW, I do not want to upgrade my QT Player.)

Thank you.

Interesting problem... QT Pro 6 was included with FCP HD 4.5, Motion 1.0 and possible other programs. Do you have any of these? Or perhaps you know someone who has upgraded to FCP 5, Motion 2 or QT 6 who might give you their old copy?

I will give you the rights to my 6.x license as I use 7.x now... Should be perfectly legal too. Anyone know otherwise?

From the Quicktime Pro 7 license on Apple's website:

Guys, thank you both for replying. Mark, thank you for offering to help me out. A friend of mine just upgraded to QT 7 and so he gave me his Pro 6 Key. Thanks again.

How does a user get QT 6 (whatever versions) as Apple only posts the newest version- how do we go back and get the older versions?

Well that was the point of Stylianos' original post: you can't buy QT6 keys from Apple anymore. If you have Motion 1.0 or FCP 4.5 then QT6 and a pro key were included on the original disks however.

If you want the standard (no pro) version of QT 6.5.2 you can also download it here:

http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...cktime652.html

Earlier versions of QT 6 are here:

Also, if you need to downgrade from QT7 to QT6 you can use this reinstaller:

Finally, if you puchased a QT Pro key but it isn't working any more, you can retrieve it using the procedure outlined here:
