Re: Re-install, can't find previous serial number.

Whew, I found a solution without having to wait til morning to ask apple for my serial # (though I'm curious if that's a way to retrieve it). I read, maybe somewhere in these forums a good suggestion that worked.

On a backup drive I had, fortunately, the older version. What luck! I booted onto that drive, opened fcp and in the menu "about fcp" i got the screen with my serial number.

Now, it's taped to the same box as my new install disks, along with the new serial number.

I really appreciate these forums, especially for these after hours predicaments.
