Installing Logic Pro 7.2 Without Original DVDs

teknosmoker · 14th April 2007

I've just relocated from the USA to Europe and am having my studio equipment shipped here with my G5 and all software (including Logic Pro 7.1). What was supposed to take 1 week to ship has now changed to 6 weeks (It's a long story). This means that I will be without Logic (or anything else for that matter) until the end of May!!!

I'm thinking about getting a MacBook and the Logic 7.2 crossgrade, so that I can still work until my studio equipment arrives. I do have my XS key for Logic and my i-Lok with me here. Problem is - my Logic Pro install DVDs won't be here until the end of May.

Can I do a full installation of Logic Pro with just the 7.2 crossgrade disc(s)? If not, can I use the Migration Assistant built into OS X to transfer Logic from my old slow TiBook I have with me, then use the 7.2 crossgrade to make it useable on the new Macbook Pro that I purchase?

As far as I remember, I did my Logic 7.2 install solely from the 7.2 discs. I tried to find an installer log or something to confirm this and didn't see anything, but I don't remember doing an install TWICE i.e. 7.0 then 7.2, so I think this will work for you. 7.2 even comes with its own extras disc, which I remember 7.1 did not.

Great - Thanks for the confirmation/replies.

All is not lost. I'm curoius to see how Logic's performance fares on the MacBook vs. my G5 Dual 2.0 tower...
