Is Logic Pro 8 Academic compatible with snow leopard?

I am having trouble getting Logic Pro 8 running since I've upgraded to snow Leopard. I was thinking perhaps it wasn't working because it is the academic version? I know that the regular retail Logic Pro 8 is compatible, so I'm trying to diagnose the crashing at startup problem I seem to be having with Logic and all my other music related programs since my OS upgrade. Thanks for any help.
