Q: Can't run Logic pro x on old 2007 macbook, now I can't open my old version of logic 8 without a serial number.

Hi people, I can't figure out how to get back to my old version of logic pro 8. I bought logic pro x but my old 2007 macbook running Snow leopard can't accept it. I thought I could go back to my old version of logic, but it won't open without a serial number which I don't have. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    The App Store doesn't allow the purchase of Logic Pro X on a machine that doesn't support it. You did use a different computer to buy it?

     

    The Logic 8 serial number was part of the package, one of the pieces of paper that came with the manuals. Your try to run Logic Pro X doesn't do anything to an existing Logic 8 or 9 installation. Nobody here can help you with a missing serial number.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes I have a newer macbook pro which I bought Logic pro x for. I tried to install it on my old macbook, because I use that as well, but it didn't accept it. I was using logic 8 with no problems until this, and now it wont let me in, just says enter serial number. I can see it is still there, in the applications folder. Is there any way to clear the data which is stopping me getting in?

    Many thanks.

    There is nothing to "clear the data", you _need_ to proof that you purchased Logic 8 at same point and that is done by entering your serial number. If you don't have that one any more, than you can not launch it.
