Logic XSKey Manager

[Syntho]

Hey guys, won't an XS Key validate all previous versions of Logic? I think I'll have to switch back to Logic 4 for my 9600 system on OS8.6 and I'm wondering if an XS Key will work to authorize it.

hey syntho theres a special dongle usb driver for that purpose but its much easier to just use the dongle emulator and free up a usb port;)

using the driver will allow u to use a blue/white xskey to launch logic 4.x i think it only works for v4 but i may be wrong it may support 3 aswell.. but i doubt it, but it doesnt really matter because we have the working dongle emulator for all v4.81 + lower


did u actually find a 9600 already?

[Syntho]

I'm in the process of getting one. Where is that driver located?

[nsputnik]

I'm looking to buy a white key or find an emu.

[smilesdavis]

ok so is there an emulator? because those white xs keys are unabtanium.

im trying to get steinberg spectralizer TDM and loudness maximizer TDM (Mac Os) that came out in 1999 running on a PT MIX system,

[chrisNova777]

the emulator i spoke of is for os9 and probably only works for v1-v5

[DieHard]

Yeah Chris, I think 4.8 was the max version for the emulator,

On our download, it says 5.x is a no go

yep funny how these details slip away over time.. thats why this forum is so clutch

they must have changed something about the dongle for 5.0 + the introduction of the blue emagic USB xskeys, i think i have a 5.0 serial dongle for PC hiding somewhere over here. grey plastic with the black/blue sticker

[smilesdavis]

so a white xskey doesnt mean automatically
it has htdm enabled?

[smilesdavis]

i just bought the old one the blue one and the white one for 100 eur total incl boxes cds and manuals

i hope one of them will enable me to run a logic rig
slaved to pro tools .

plan is to use a mac mini 1.24 g4 - fireface 400 - adat - lynx hilo - pc with pro tools 12.5

i think if it works the mac mini g4 is a perfect form factor and i payed 5 eur for it perfect

[IIO]

ask the person who sells it (if you find one)

[smilesdavis]

oh i found a white 7 blue 6 and weird one for 4 within a day and for reasonable price cds floppies manuals all incljded even for v4

cant wait to set up my os9 logic rig

Thank you all for your help. I have installed Logic 5 on OS 9. I used Dongle Emu, but when I try to start Logic, a warning saying "Wrong system data" appears and it closes. I moved the XS Key Driver to Extensions, but the XS Key may have been from Logic 4. Is there any solution?

That's a no-go...

Also Includes Dongle Emulator ! (Use logic without a hardware dongle)
(dongle emulator does not work for v5.x + v6.x)

But you have a few choices...

1) Use 4.x found here

2) emagic microLogic AV Versions 4.1.2, 4.5.1 and 4.8.1
This is the less capable version of emagic Logic (Maximum of 16 Audio Tracks and 8 Instruments)
NO dongle emulator or XS Key is needed !
