Hello
I have two copies of final cut studio 1 for my two work computers. Somehow both computers are using the same serial numbers for both copies. I have read on the forum that I need to just delete the Final Cut Studio System ID and after I open FCP again, I will be able to retype another serial number.
The problem is that I am unable to find either a Pro Apps folder or a system ID on the computer that I need to change the serial number for. I even did a complete uninstall using FCP remover, but once I reinstalled it, it is still using the old serial number. Please let me know if there is something i'm soing wrong.
Btw, this computer is using Mac OS X 10.5.2. and I'm trying to install fcp 5.0.1.

After you uninstall, do a spotlight for "finalcut" and remove everything that has a "pkg" extension or"plist" extension.
That should get you pretty much taken care of. After that, check the Root and home directories Library under Preferences and Application Support for anything "Final Cut Pro" pr "ProApp" after dumping that and emptying the trash you should have to enter a S/N.
You can also search Apples website for Manual Uninstall directions for FCP 5, this will point you to any hidden items you might need to eliminate.
