(Licensed/Registered To)... Any way iCan change this?

[Mac.]

Hi, i ordered Final Cut Express 4 from Apple, it arrived yesterday while i was at work, so i asked my brother to install it for me (you've probably seen him post on this forum under the name MrGeePee)

The idiot put his nick-name in the Licensed/Registered To box :mad:

Really pissed me off as its my Mac and not his. I know its not a big deal but i like things done right lol.

Is there anyway i can edit this? i tried re-uninstalling the program but it doesn't ask me for the license the 2nd time around.

Thanks.

I removed it using AppZapper, these are the files it deleted.

Im new to Macs, so im not sure where to find the plist :(

I've not used Final Cut, but Apple does put the .plist with the serial number for iWork in HD > Library > Preferences, so you might look there. There also is likely another .plist in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences that keeps the individual user's preferences.

There is this file: com.apple.RegFinalCutExpress.plist

Which is in HD -> Library -> Preferences

It doesn't contain my name, but maybe removing it will force a re-registration?

i dont have that file either. maybe that file is from FCE 3.

delete or move the "Final Cut Express System ID" file in /Library/Application Support/ProApps & then open FCE and re-enter your name and serial :D
