I'll only leave this up for a short period, but here goes ......
So the other day, a friend's laptop had a charging issue.
He took it into an Apple store and they fixed it really quickly.
He was very happy.
Then he went to open FCP and the serial number was missing.
About a year earlier, he was working for a chap who had just bought 5.0.4
and that person loaned him the disks so he could work from home.
But that didn't help him right now and he was a little freaked out.
Then he called around and someone said "have you tried Serialbox.com"?
So he did and after some poking around and trial and error ...... IT WORKED!
Just sayin'.

Thu, March 20, 2008 - 11:53 AMI guess they checked to see if the serial number matched my "friends" name ... and it didn't, so they reset it. They also did it to my friend's QT Pro as well. This happened when my friend's laptop was in for repair. I'm not really mad at them, because although the FCP was legally bought, it was not bought by my friend.
My friend found a workaround. :) -

Re: Sneaky Apple.
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 10:31 PMDon't want to start a war here, but a lot of us paid good hard cash for FCP and are competing for jobs with people who want software for free. I know it's expensive, but Express is more affordable and legal. Same with Photoshop Elements. I had to start that way until I could pony-up the $$ for the full version. If you are a student, there are significant discounts for the student version. -
