I just upgraded my laptop to one of the new i7 macbok pro and installed logic pro 9 on it. Now Mainstage asks for my serial number 95% of the time I start up the program. Logic works fine and does not display this behavior. For one day I started logic first then used Mainstage and it didn't ask for the serial. I thought it was fixed but today it asks for my serial everytime I open up Mainstage 2.1.1 One of the times it asked for me to register with Apple and send them my info. I have already done this yet I turned on airport to send it again. This did not help.

Why does it continue to need the serial number everytime I start up. Why the erratic behavior conserning this issue? I only have logic pro 9 installed, Soundtoys plug-ins, and Melodyne. This laptop is to be an audio only machine for stability.

Mar 11, 2011 I thought it was fixed but today it asks for my serial everytime I open up Mainstage 2.1.1 One of the times it. Mainstage asks for serial number everytime. MainStage 3 Sound as great on stage as you do in the studio Mainstage 2 serial number free. Turn your Mac into a live rig. Transform your keyboard, guitar, or vocal.

That's why I want airport off. Could that be causing the problem? It ***** I'm having problems even on a stripped down, no internet, brand new top of the line Macbook pro.

Extremely frustrating after spending my life savings on one of these laptops Any help would be extremely appreciated!! Todd Macbook Pro 17 - i7, Mac OS X (10.6.3) Posted on May 2, 2010 7:46 AM. I don't know what serial box is but if is a place to get serial numbers to steal software then yes, you are correct in your assumption, that is NOT my case. I purchased Logic Pro 9 and I purchased all THREE of my macs. I worked my tail off to pay for this software so it angers me to read a response like that. Why did you even take the time to respond?

The reason I have to ask the question is because obviously there is a bug in Apples software and it continues to ask me for my serial every time I load it up. It is extremely annoying since I paid 500 for Logic and I just paid over 2 grand for a mac book pro. I'm going to call Apple now since no one on this forum can help me. Except to insinuate that I stole my software. Forums are such a waste of time.

May 3, 2010 12:39 PM. Someone at the Logic Users Group actually posted a helpful response to my issue and now it is solved. All I had to do was repair my permission in DIsk Utility. I didn't even think about doing that since it is a brand new computer and I have only install Logic and a couple plugins so far on it. I'm posting my solution here in case it helps someone else who encounters a corrupted preferences files immediately after installing the Logic Pro Suite.

Once I repaired my Disk permissions everything is running smoothly. Todd May 3, 2010 2:10 PM. Thank you for the apology Valgreen. I was obviously in a bad mood since things weren't working out so well with the brand new laptop. Native Instruments - Nki Patch(one At A Time).

Here is the update to my situation: Repairing my permissions did not solve the problem actually. I realized after some time now that it is dependent upon my iLok being plugged in or not. If I do not have my iLok plugged in then it asks for my serial number. If I have it plugged in, then it starts up without problems. Does anybody know why this could happen?

This is still a problem. I thought it was solved before but it came back. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn Pal Skype. Iso Windows 7. After contacting Apple support and spending hours spanning multiple days they realized this is a bug. Here is the current reply from tech support: ' Hello Todd, I'm afraid you will not be notified directly if/when the serialization issue is resolved. Regarding troubleshooting your system, you could keep the Activity Monitor up and running when you are using MainStage, set to show All Processes, and see if you notice any spike in CPU usage of one of the process that corresponds with when a spike occurs in MainStage.

Sincerely, David Paulson Apple Inc. ' So according to apple they MAY fix this bug. 'IF' it gets fixed.

I spent top dollar for the latest macbook pro i7, and I purchased my own copy of Logic pro. I find this heartless reply to me, the customer very saddening. Randomly Mainstage and Logic will continually ask for me to enter my serial number and maybe one day there will be a fix or it could be an indefinite issue?and that's it case closed?

I am one very very unhappy apple customer. If you are planning on purchasing a top of the line macbook pro to use Mainstage problem free in a live concert setting then you could be in for extreme frustration with a large dose of buyer's remorse:( -Todd Jul 7, 2010 5:59 PM.
