Ok here goes...I just realised that since my upgrade to Snow Leopard, Aperture 1 no longer works. So I purchased myself an Aperture 2 upgrade...installed it but cant get it to work as I don't have my original Aperture key. Does anyone know if key is stored in some preference file somewhere so I can resurrect it. Don't ask me to go looking for my original Aperture packaging, I have searched and searched and I don't have it....I'm almost sure it has been dumped by accident....grrrrrr

I can't help. I have no idea where the pref is stored, and I went straight in to Aperture 2.
Hope you can sort it out.

Do you have a receipt or anything for the original Aperture? Maybe unlikely if you don't have the packaging.  If you do, get on the phone to Apple and ask for a new key.

I thought I could find it registered with Apple online somewhere, but I can't, in fact I'm not even sure I registered it online, been so long since I had it. Keychain just stores passwords, not the keys. I don't know why the upgrade doesn't just automatically read the original key, check it then proceed. Looks like I'm going to have to purchase a full Aperture 2.

I think your best option is to contact Apple and let them know. From my experience with them I'm certain they'll be able to give you a key or something. Your Mac is sure to have registered it somehow online.

If you find you have to buy it in the end, Aperture 2 is significantly (like 66%) cheaper if you can get educational discount and order it from the Apple Store online. if it reaches that point let me know, I may be able to help you out  . Jon

Yeah but the educational version is not upgradable...I have *ahem* borrowed a key from a friend, so all is working....
