i dont think any upgrade packages would work as the xskey servers are down + non fucntional and xskey licenses can no longer be upgraded

thats pretty much why enabler is suggesting what he is suggesting.
another thing to point out is i guess there was never a pro version made for Windows so mac os 9 really caught a break to even get the 6.4 pro version at all!

And don't forget to assign more ram to Logic!

I read somewhere that you can bypass the 1GB ram limitation by allocating more ram to Logic. Right click, get info and change it there. Is that what you're talking about?

I think there's a 1.5GB ram limitation of OS9, so if this will work I can buy another 512 stick and put it in my G4.

I don't have Logic running since I'm waiting on an XS Key. I'm curious how much ram is allocated to it in the first place...

i just installed logic 6 platinum

initial ram settings:
39843K minimum
109843K preferred

Is that what it says in 'Get More info' when clicking on the application?

yes exactly.. cmd - i on the executable file then select "memory" from the "Show" dropdown

[Syntho]

Ok cool. i'm still waiting on that darn XS Key. Hopefully I'll have it by a couple weeks from now.

However when version 6.4 was released, I believe the dongle switched to white...

NO I bought Logic Pro 6 and it came with a blue dongle and has the exact same features as the white dongle that others have talked about. It upgraded to Logic 7 and to Logic 8 no problem.

[Jakl]

I think the white key started with Logic Pro 7 - not sure though.

I think the white key started with Logic Pro 7 - not sure though.

usb xskey was switched from blue to white from any version that is called "logic pro" vs "logic platinum" (which began at v6.4)
white/pro contains all auths for all plugins, whereas blue/platinum could be upgraded but does not contain these auths by default
this info has been confirmed.

[Jakl]

Am I missing something here?
Here are pictures of my version of Logic Pro 6 with the blue key.
The blue has had all the updates when I bought it - there was an update
however way back when Logic 7 came out I think but that was it.

It is not Logic Platinum 6, it is Logic Pro 6 as seen.
Maybe someone can tell me if I missed what was being said about all this.

A 6.4 DOES include all of the authorizations, Jakl is right. I just didn't know that they were blue when Apple came into the picture.

The more important question is, how did people 'upgrade' their USB keys? I thought that the USB keys were 'set in stone' and there was no changing licenses on it, just using the upgrade editions of the software.

[Jakl]

Well if you see the photo - in the utilities folder on the right there is an
XS Key updater which was used to update the key when there was a need
to update.

[Syntho]

Does changing a license with the key updater require a server to connect to?

[Jakl]

Yes there was a server - all done through the internet.

[supernova777]

xskey servers were shut down in the last few years..

I guess next on our list of stuff to crack is to create a server that our XS keys can connect to to register new licenses
