I ran logic 8 studio on a macbook pro running osx 10.5, i then bought a new macmini with osx 10.7 lion
If you go to application on your 10.5 mac and compress the app file then transfer it to your new 10.7 mac (using sharing or a usb etc) then unzip and load the app. You have to re-enter your serial etc but it worked perfectly for me!
I don't havent tested this on any other mac but i hope it works for you!
@BuzzCTF Hi, for the past 2 or 3 months you can now open logic through the app as normal now... think they just realized people wernt happy. I would update to the latest logic 9 software see if that works.
I'm able to open it this way on Lion, but I've installed plugins that aren't showing in logic. I've done some research and it appears that I have to open Logic in 32-bit, then switch back to 64 bit. How can I open logic in 32-bit in this way?
@jimmyhellyeah123 yeah you need to do this every time. Because of this and the likelihood of logic x coming out soon, plus the fact i needed a program that had to just work they way it was intended right now, i bought pro tools 9. Possibly the greatest move, means I have best of both worlds. Logic 8 is not affected by using it this way.
omfg thank you so much for this. i've been looking EVERYWHERE for ways to use Logic 8.0.0 express on Lion and haven't found anything helpful after hours of looking. i thought it was impossible but this worked for me first try and i must say thank you very much for providing the key for me to finally continue making music again.
@mmtitties no problem. I was going to wait until the newest logic pro (x or 10) came out and buy it if it was any good but due to apple screwing up logic 8, I decided to get myself pro tools 9. Im sure alot of people are the same. I was certainly not going to buy logic 9 now after it has been out for a year. Not a big enough upgrade from Logic 8.
ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT.
