Hello. I recently purchased (
http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php/topic,6556.0.html) a Logic 7 White XSKey in hopes of running older Logic versions (5 and 6).
Trying anything other than Logic Pro 7 (like Logic 5 Platinum), Logic fails to find the XSKey. I am a bit baffled as it finds it under Logic Pro 7.
When I run XSKey Manager 1.6 under OS X 10.4, it says "No XSKey found!". Running under OS 9 says I need an XS Key Driver. I cannot seem to find this driver anywhere.
Digging around a bit, I found a link tying back to Apple with a download to an XSKey Driver. However, Wayback Machine does not have this file saved, and just searching the file finds nothing.
https://duc.avid.com/archive/index.php/t-163905.htmlI've also ran the XSKey updater with an internet connection and had no luck. Says my XSKey is fully functional. I had suspected it not to try and update, I don't even know if the servers are still up and running. I know they shut the registration XSKey servers down a long time ago.
Under System Profiler, it says the firmware version is 0.01. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be higher, but I thought I'd mention that.
Posting because of this:
1) Logic Pro 7.2.3 running on OSX Tiger 10.4.3 or higher for PPC Mac or Tiger 10.4.4 Intel Mac
2) The XSKey will run everything from Logic 4.8 to 7.2.3 but for version 4.8 (OS9 Only) you will need to make sure you have the special XSKey driver installed.
3) Logic Pro 8 & 9 use just a Serial Number
4) Logic Pro X use Mac App store receipt
5) Buy the White Apple XSKeys as they have all Emagic Products authorized the older Emagic blue version of the XSKey are a cap shoot, who knows what you will get since the owner had to buy all the additional products separately
The White XSKey's are supposed to work under Logic 4.8-7, but for some reason, I can't get it to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions in hopes to get this working?
Cheers!
