I don't know whether to use Logic V4, 5, or 6. 6 seems like my best bet because it has the Space Designer plugin where I can use convolution reverbs. The problem however is that I'll need to find a copy of it somewhere with the USB key.

V4 seems to use the older key, and V5, V6 as well as V7 use a USB key. I've read in two places now where they said the V7-licensed USB key allows you to use V6 and V5 since the V7 license is backward compatible. Is that true?

If so that makes things easier. Just buy a V7 key and use an older version.

i have read something to that effect aswell.
and if it works - it would be great..
but i would urge you to wait untill we get someone here to confirm this..
i can tell u that the 6 key authorizes both 6 + 5 (for both mac + windows(v5.5))
so the fact that the 7 key may authorize 7,6 + 5 would seem consistant

we can provide the software installers if someone with a logic 7 xskey will step forward to test this theory!

Syntho · « **Reply #2 on:** February 10, 2014, 05:14:20 PM »

I may be the one to have to do that eventually. Hopefully we can get someone to confirm in the meantime.

How would you compare 4, 5 and 6 chris? They all look similar but 6 has the most features and is more graphically intense. I wonder if that makes it slower?

DieHard · « **Reply #3 on:** February 10, 2014, 08:36:53 PM »

It would be great if someone could verify the Apple branded white Logic 7 Key theory... that it will work for Logic 5 & 6.

My Emagic branded Logic Platinum 6 black XS Key shows authorized for "Logic Platinum 6" and "Logic Platinum 5" and it will run all version updates thru 6.3.1.

The Apple Logic Pro Update 6.4.3 for OS 9 shows that my key will only run it in "Demo Mode"... so I am assuming that is the first version to need a white XS key... for now 6.3.1 seem to be the last rev for an original black/blue XS Key.

I have a blue xkey with 5,6 and 7. Bought for 6 and upgraded to 7

Syntho · « **Reply #5 on:** February 11, 2014, 06:42:15 AM »

I'm wondering if it's that you have to have a 5/6 license to start with, then upgrade to 7. The 5/6 license is still there.

However I read that Apple support mentioned buying a completely new retail copy of 7 and that it would work.

I'm going to have to snag one off Ebay. I hope I don't waste my $$$

Syntho · « **Reply #7 on:** February 11, 2014, 07:09:25 AM »

I just realized, I'm going to need the installers! Are the installers/updates for 6 available?

Up until a certain point Logic was Platinum. It wasn't until version 6.4 that it was called Logic Pro. The Pro version 6.4 introduced their plugins for free (I think) so it's a hefty update.

supernova777 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2014, 07:54:35 AM »

look at the file size - those are just updates not full installers i think?
i just uploaded logic 5 for osx (from original dvd install media)
didnt think there was a osx version of 5 but apparently there was!
http://www.macos9lives.com/downloads/public you can (temporarily) get it here
im looking for people with xskeys to test it

yes thats logic 6.3.1 for osx .. probably platinum..

but regardless.. u dont need to worry about finding them on strange sites..

Protools5LEGuy... just to clarify (I could be wrong on this), but I am assuming your original Blue/black XS Key was purchased with Logic 6 (as you mentioned) and also under Emagic, and then when you upgraded to 7 (apple version) the XS Key servers were still online (now at apple) and added the 7 Authorization to your existing key...

So... to clarify... Now all the Key servers have been offline for a few years and there is no way to add anymore Keys to an existing XS Key; so the real question is...

Is there a an XS Key (such as Logic 7), that came out of the Box per-authorized for Logic 5,6, & 7 (or a combination); my key came per-authorized with Platinum 5 & 6...

all replies are welcome

also.. Syntho.. the Blue/Black Emagic keys go up to 6.3.1 for OS9 only (Unless a license was added later) and they will not do the 6.4 Update (the Logic Pro version for OS 9)... as I mentioned mine says "Demo Mode" and not authorized with 6.4. You are right the "Pro" version has all the soft syths & samplers included... the emagic 6.3.1 version does not.

I am not the original buyer. I received Logic with two boxes as a gift. One white emagic 6 upgrade and another Apple logic for 7. In the xskey there was lots of numbers in small papers (I suppose for selling/transfering). It can run 5, two 6.x (emagic and Apple) and 7.0.1but not 7.1 (universal)

u would have had to pay an upgrade fee to get from 6.3 -> 6.4 i imagine most would have for what they got out of it!

Comfirm what?
Logic Platinum 6 was a paid upgrade for 5 users. Logic pro (>=6.3.x) was a paid upgrade for Logic 6 users. Logic 7 was a paid upgrade for 6.x users. Logic 7.1 (universal) was a paid upgrade for Logic 7.0.x users.

Syntho · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2014, 08:10:12 PM »

We know that a key with a 6 license will allow you to use 5, but we don't know that if a key with strictly a Pro 7 license will allow you to use either 5 or 6. DieHard and I were wondering this.

I've read in a couple different places where an Apple tech said that if your 5/6 key breaks, you can buy a brand new Logic pro 7 XS Key and it'll allow you to use versions 5 and 6.

That's what we're waiting on confirmation for. We've read it, but we haven't had someone test it directly (at least recently). There are a few copies on Ebay and I'm about to bite the bullet and test it myself unless someone else can confirm it for us,

Protools5LEGuy · « **Reply #20 on:** February 12, 2014, 04:43:34 AM »

So, the question is
Will a white xskey open logic 5?

Syntho · « **Reply #21 on:** February 12, 2014, 04:56:48 AM »

We need to be slightly more specific though. We know that a white one that has been upgraded with multiple licenses (5+6+7 or 6+7) will work, but will a 7-only work is the question.

supernova777 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 12, 2014, 06:04:25 AM »

surely we must have a member who has the white key.. and can download logic 5 or 6 to test...
who has a white xskey?

??

Syntho · « **Reply #23 on:** February 12, 2014, 06:16:18 AM »

I'm trying to acquire one. It may or may not be strictly a v.7 licensed key. I'll report back though.

Syntho · « **Reply #25 on:** February 12, 2014, 03:07:07 PM »

You can actually test Logic version 5 on Windows XP through 7 (has to be a 32bit OS version though). If you've got an OSX machine you can also test 6. We've got the installers floating around.

Jone · « **Reply #26 on:** February 17, 2014, 12:13:57 PM »

I did test today logic 5 and 6.4.3 on OS 9 and those work with white xskey. Is there somewhere full image of logic 6.X ? Some of the plugin guis didn't work well on 6 and i think it was because i installed only update version

Syntho · « **Reply #27 on:** February 17, 2014, 12:36:14 PM »

Contact Diehard. He has the original 6.x version. I believe he has the older Emagic Logic 6 version, but there's most likely an update floating around for 6.4.3.

supernova777 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 17, 2014, 12:41:32 PM »

i have a question regarding osx versions of logic while we are on this topic.. can u run the early osx logic pro versions (6.4 or 7.0) on 10.5.x Leopard operating system?
i would think it would work ... i had a copy of cubase LE 1.x for panther/tiger and it worked fine on leopard up untill update 10.5.4, if u went past 10.5.5 it gave an error on start up..
perhaps its similar with logic? if anyone has experience. please post;) thanks

supernova777 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 17, 2014, 02:23:25 PM »

so if im to understand here correctly to get logic 6.4 pro working with all plugins (as everyone here wants)

1. u need a white XS key for logic pro 7 (any version, academic or not)
2. u need the logic pro 6.4 installer dvd

and enabler has said he has #2? which would make this whole using 1) for 2) thing possible?

Syntho · « **Reply #30 on:** February 17, 2014, 02:55:33 PM »

As long as you've got a white XS Key, you're good. You just need the installers. That's as far as I'm aware.

I see it. I grabbed it a while ago actually.

Hey Chris, am I correct to assume that most of the stuff on that 6 Platinum installation can be run only in demo mode? You've got the TDM stuff on there and I thought that that wasn't included until 6.4 or so. I would also think that Space Designer, EXS24 an so on had demo versions available on there.

I have XSkeys for 7.1 (full version) which runs 7.0, 6 and 5 and also for 7.0 (Academic version) which runs 6 and 5. Just a note about 4.7: You can run it, as I have for 15 years now, with a 2.0 hardware serial dongle and and Imate USB adapter. A dongle emulator will also work for 4.7, however if you're using a KVM you have disengage it when switching (it still may randomly freeze the CPU on you).

I've got the white Apple dongle for Logic 7 EDU, and I can confirm that mine authorizes 5 and 6 for Mac - BUT NOT 5 on Windows. I used it mostly with 6 and love that it includes all of the instruments and effects that were still sold separately under Emagic. I also wound up with a blue dongle that's just got a Logic TDM key all by itself, and I use that one to run SoundDiver 3.1.
