Obli Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hello all! I have a question regarding my Logic Pro 7.2's version. My situation is as follows: A great while ago, I bought my Logic Pro 7.2 copy second handed. However, when looking at the original invoice, it states the Logic Pro has been bought with student's discount.(topping of the box was missing) Now however, I would like to upgrade to Logic Studio 8. I know upgrading is impossible with an academic version. However, I think I have a real retail version, not an academic.(and the previous owner just bought retail with discount) If I look at the back of my security dongle, it states 'RETAIL' Can anyone tell me how I can be 100% sure my Logic Pro 7.2 is upgradeable? How can you check wether your version is Academic/retail (besides the box) Thanks in advance, this would mean a great help to me! Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Someone please confirm that, but I'm pretty sure an academic license will say "Academic" on the splash start-up screen. My license is an NFR and says "Not For Resale" on that splash screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obli Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thank you for the reply When opening Logic Pro it says nothing (except the plugins he's loading,...) Nothing stating academic or the likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arafel Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I can confirm that an Academic version of LP7 will display an 'Academic' in the splash screen on start up. Says 'Academic' on the USB dongle too (just checked mine in my hub) No functional differences between Retail & Academic, except the upgrade path is delimited for the Academic. Sounds like smooth Retail sailing Obli! You'll love LP8 - good luck make some Noize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto music Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 when I bought Logic 7 'academic', I simply got the retail version with a discount, which was great because when i went to upgrade to 8, no probs, as my invoice said 'retail' on it. go figure.
