Serial number issue after Mountain Lion clear install.

Hello.

I have a problem with Aperture 3 (v.3.4), evry time I'm rebooting OSX (Moutain Lion) Aperture is asking again for serial no.

I have Aperture 2 + Aperture 3 upgrade serials no.

After puting them, Aperture is working fine until next restart of OSX.

Already fixed database and removed aplication settings and still the same issue.

Please advise.

iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Aperture

You may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file.


To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.


  • Quit Aperture.
  • Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
  • Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
  • Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.


Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp



Use the Finder's "Go" menu



Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
