Hm-m-m-m.  That's strange.  I've been using Logic since version 2.5.  I 
started on the PC and have switched to a Mac.  I thought that the 
dongle at version 4.x was either a serial dongle (PC) or an ADB dongle 
(Mac).  Perhaps my memory is fuzzy on that though.  I was on a PC at 
the time so I was using a serial port dongle.  I thought that the first 
USB dongle *was* the XSKey.

I believe that version 4 required a floppy disk updater to install the 
program.  (At least I remember mine coming with one).  I'm on version 7 
now and have long since thrown out that floppy disk since it was 
useless to me after the XSKey came into effect.  You may need it before 
you can actually run it.  If your Mac still runs OS 9 you may still 
want to run OS 9 for Logic.  From your post, I don't know if you 
upgraded to a newer Mac (and can only run OS X) or if you upgraded your 
OS to OS X.

HTH,
Fernstudio
