Installing Final Cut Pro on a Mac OS X v10.3 (Panther) System
When you install Final Cut Pro, its components are placed in the Applications folder on
your startup disk.
Note: Before you can install the software, you need to log in to your computer as the
administrator using the administrator password. See “ About Installing Software and
Saving Files ” on page 10 for more information.
To install Final Cut Pro and enter the serial number:
1 Insert the Final Cut Pro 5 installation disc into your computer’s DVD drive.
2 Double-click the Install Final Cut Pro 5 icon, then follow the onscreen instructions.
3 The Installer package runs a program to determine if Final Cut Pro can be installed.
Click Continue.
4 Read the Welcome information, then click Continue.
5 Read the Software Licensing Agreement, click Continue, then click Agree.
6 In the Licensing dialog, enter your first and last name. Entering an organization is optional.
7 In the Serial Number field, enter the Final Cut Pro serial number printed on the front of
this document, then click OK.
Make sure you are reading from the original serial number label that’s on the front of
this document. Be sure to verify there are no mistakes in the Serial Number field. Make
sure you enter a zero and not an O, a 1 and not a lowercase L, where appropriate. You
must enter the dashes in the serial number. Make sure there are no spaces before or
after the serial number.
Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Final Cut Pro, the Installer looks for
a Final Cut Pro serial number. If the Installer is unable to locate this serial number, the
Installer asks you to enter it now.
Important: Make sure you enter the software serial number and not the Support ID number.
Warning: If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements,
installation of Final Cut Pro will not be allowed. Refer to the Before You Install
Final Cut Pro 5 document on the Final Cut Pro 5 installation disc for a list of minimum
system requirements.
