I just tried to boot up Final Cut Pro today to start working on a project- and it asked for my user information and serial number.... what? I have had no other problems with the install previously, and I've had FCS2 for 2 and a half years now. Can anyone explain to me what the problem might be, and how to fix it? If I have to, I can call back home (I'm studying abroad in Australia) and get the serial number and just re-register, but I'm kind of hoping I don't have to go through all that trouble.

Edit: Haven't used FCS since I got my Macbook Pro fixed for a Nvidia 8600GT GPU failure (Apple had to replace the logic board to do this). Didn't send my hard drive, though- swapped it out before repairs.

Repalcing a logic board might reset the serial for FCP
