Whatever the reason, Logic is useless without the XS Key, so I thought I'd contact Apple and get the official low-down on what to do (and how much it will cost you) should you be so unfortunate as to suffer any of these XS Key-related problems.įirst, the bad news if you lose your XS Key outside your warranty, you'll have to pay the full cost of replacement (currently $899 or £468), or buy a new copy of Logic. Over the last couple of months, I've had a spate of enquiries from readers asking about Apple's policy regarding broken, stolen or lost XS Keys. Here is an article on the net about the xs key replacement. I don't think the upgrade will go too well on a pirated version?

I got Logic Pro 7 from my friend I installed it and everything.But it said I need an XS Key.I wanted to know can I purchase one or how do I fix this issue.Thanks.įor what it is worth, maybe you could think about purchasing the Logic Studio upgrade for your comp and your friend's comp and use the xs key for the upgrade.
