I use an imac. I currently use final cut studio 3. After approx. 2 maybe 3 weeks the software will stop working. It boots up to the registration screen. I will enter my name and the orginal serial number but it tells me the serial number is not valid. What is causing this and how can I prevent? If I unload software and reload, it works but will kick me out again after uses.
imac g5, Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Instead of re-installing, try just moving the Final Cut Studio System ID from /Library/Application Support/ProApps
You'll then be asked to re-enter the serial and all should be good.

Go to the following location: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Pro Apps.
Delete the file Final Cut Studio System ID.
The next tme you launch one of the apps it will ask for your serial number - hopefully for the last time.
If it happens again, something is causing that file to be corrupted, probably by writing its own data there.
Try the above anyway, it might just stick this time.
E: Pat got in first....
I think now the file is called ProApps System ID or something similar... When I tried removing that file, it (finally) stopped asking for serial numbers (when you upgrade, it's two numbers you have to keep handy -- what a pain!).
