When you install FCP 3, it knows what machine you installed it onto. So, if you bring it to another machine, it will get mad. Even if you do it legally and use the serial # that came with FCP. I did that recently when we moved FCP from my wife's computer to mine, I just copied the files over, but when I launched it, it told me that the ID # of the computer I was using was different from the # on which it was installed. (That's not verbatim, but you get the idea).
I know FCP wont run in classic, but is it possible the FCP 1 installer will? Another idea: Install FCP 1 on your friends imac, and move over the appropriate files to your imac, then install the FCP 3 update? good luck, and let us know how it goes. bw Way back on 3/3/03 8:11 AM, someone who goes by "Hans de Bijl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> typed vigorously: > Is the following possible: > > My friend has a new iMac 17 inch (800Mhz) 1month older then mine > He has OS9 on his machine and can boot from it. > Is it possible to install FCP3 on his machine and put it on an iPod or > external HD and take it with me? > > What do I have to copy then?? -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
