Q: Blew out Final Cut registration (legit); number won't work, how do I get reset

For the second time in the last year I have upgraded my MacPro (to a newer tower), I just physically transferred my internal drives to the new tower (in a not well thought out test) and seem to have blown out my app registration (legit); how do I get my registration reset. 2nd copy of license installed on my second system, an iMac (and it's working). You'd think I'd learn, I messed up registration on last system transfer/upgrade almost a year ago; and to be honest with you i can't remember 100% how i got it reset then... but believe it was through an online support chat or a phone call, but now i can't even find a number on the Apple site that seems like the proper one.

Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    The serial number of a Pro App is mated to the logic board of your computer on install, not the drives - so when you move the drives, FCP sees that it is not on the same machine and asks to be re-blessed.

     

    If you have your serial numbers, you should be able to re-enter them. If you are missing your serial numbers, here is a Knowledge Base article that may help you:
