Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and QuickTime Pro

As noted by MacFixIt reader Scott Mahrer, QuickTime Pro 6 users who upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) will not be able to use their current license codes for the newly included QuickTime Pro 7.

"I did verify with Apple's techs today that a Quicktime Pro version 6 key will not work with Tiger and Quicktime 7! Furthermore, the Apple Store does not know when Quicktime Pro 7 will be available, or how much it will cost to upgrade!

"I'm surprised that Apple is not doing more to make sure people know this before installing Tiger, which will render Quicktime Pro useless. Hopefully it will become available before April 29."
