How can I change an Aperture serial number?

Try changing the content of the file /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Aperture System ID.

(30872)

Yeah, go ahead and delete that file (or, just moving it somewhere else would also work).

Aperture should then ask you for a serial # the next time you launch it. Add the new one and you're good to go.

Hi,
Any chance you could confirm if this worked - I need to do the same thing!

No need to wait for his reply. It's a simple matter to test it yourself. Just move the file someplace safe if you're unsure so you can move it back if you have a problem.

Umm, yea - good point! 😀

This does work fine - I had a volume license for Aperture, which I was no longer covered under. Bought my own, trashed this file, launched Aperture and it requested new serial numbers - none of my data was damaged or altered.

Have both computers on, and capable of seeing each other through your network. Start Aperture on one machine, and when it runs, then start Aperture on the second machine. The second copy should ask you to install a valid Aperture license serial number.

Thanks, this was driving me crazy. My husband installed into on my computer so I could see if I liked it. I loved it and bought a copy but couldn't figure out how to remove his serial number. Worked like a charm.

I own Logic Studio and have already had it loaded but changed the drive for a bigger drive and have to reload it. I have registered the software before and now that i have to load it again, can't find the serial number card or book or whatever came with it. Is there a way to retrieve a serial number from Apple? I don't find a link to do that...
