Archived - Mac OS 9.2.1: Installs QuickTime 5, Which May Require a New QuickTime Pro Key

Mac OS 9.2.1 installs QuickTime 5. Earlier QuickTime Pro keys do not work with QuickTime 5.

Products Affected

Mac OS 9.2, QuickTime

Symptom

Your QuickTime Pro key does not enable Pro features.

Solution

Your QuickTime Pro key was purchased too long ago to work with QuickTime 5.

To enable QuickTime Pro features:
  • Purchase a new QuickTime Pro key from The Apple Store (http://www.apple.com/store/), or
  • Reinstall QuickTime 4 and use your existing Pro key.

The Mac OS 9.2.1 installation includes QuickTime 5. Some earlier QuickTime Pro keys do not work with QuickTime 5 requiring that you either purchase a new QuickTime Pro key or reinstall QuickTime 4 for Pro features.

You should use QuickTime 5 with Mac OS 9.2.1 as Apple has tested the two together. However, you may reinstall QuickTime 4.1.2.
