Q: About Licensing

Hi everybody! This s my first message here...

 

I got a question about the license of my final cut studio! I bought the FCS 1, then I upgraded tu FCS 2 and then to FCS 3... So, Do I need the FCS 1 license? Or I can install it in another computer or resell? When I install the FCS 3 It ask me for the FCS 2 serial number, and never for the FCS 1...

 

Thanks a lot to everybody!

Final Cut Studio '09, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

    Hi

     

    No.

     

    Why do You think there is a cost diff on - Full new versions - and up-dates ?

     

    In all cases You need one Fully Paid version eg FCP 1 then You only need to pay for the updates. But if You sell/give away the Fully Paid version - then You legally don't own the right to use the up-dates either.

     

    Yours Bengt W

    Hi Bengt!

     

    The prices of two upgrades are equal to a full version, that's why I'm askng, and when you install the second upgrade, it ask you ONLY for the previous upgrade, never for the first full version... Are you sure about your answer?

     

    Thanks a lot!!

    You're probably never going to need those serial numbers again. There will be no upgrade to FCS (2009), and all future software will be sold via the App Store, which does not require a serial number only an Apple ID.
