Snerler Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Pirated serial that lots of different people are trying to sign in with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyguy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 or it might be your system profiler serial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuantumByte Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 What system profiler serial? Is this related to iWork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantrp Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 its probably logging in with same serial we almost all have..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aduffbrew Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Does anyone know if the 30 day trial version allows for the beta registration? If you use iWork, you really should consider buying it. What do you guys think of that bundle deal? Leopard, iLife & iWork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuantumByte Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I love iWork and iLife, and I purchased them both last year (08 version), but I'm thinking of 'cutting back costs' this year, so there we go. I also bought Leopard.. the box set is a heck of a good deal.. but for people who already bought Leopard (majority of us), it may not be. Anybody know of a fix for the problem I referred to above? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejlax Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Everyone- I have two computers running Leopard. One is a Mac Book Pro and the other is my Dell D630 HAckintosh. I installed the same iWork 09 on both computers using the same serial and i can only log into iWork.com through my real Mac...this may have something to do with the system profiler ID as mentioned above. I will try and get to bottom of why it is working on my real mac and not my hack-mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuantumByte Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hm yes that sounds about right...I think that is also so in my case. Thanks for your time. Please feedback any findings.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newwindow Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hey guys, I can confirm that this issue is related to the serial number that you'll find if you open System Profiler. Many OSx86 people use W1234567890 and that seems to be the problem. But the good news is: it can be easily surmounted. What I did was download HexFiend and then copy AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext from /System/Library/Extensions to another folder. Then I opened Contents/MacOS/AppleSMBIOSEFI in HexFiend and searched for "W1234567890" (be careful, the W has to be an upper-case one!). Then I picked "Enable Overwrite Mode" from the Edit menu and changed some of the bytes so I got a different string for my new ID. I saved the file and replaced the old one in the Extensions folder with it (before I did that I made a backup copy of the old one, just in case something goes wrong). Then I rebooted and boom - I had a new serial #. Now iWork.com works seamlessly for me. I hope I could help.
