Subject:i need a brilliant idea!!! Posted by: foshay3000 Date:6/30/2002 7:50:16 PM my problem: my girlfriend just kicked me out of her apartment (boohoo, i know) and away from the computer i installed my pro software. she has since trashed all the stuff of mine that was there, including the registration paperwork. so, i have the disc but i'm f***ed as far as installing it on my new computer goes. so, like i said, if anyone has any brilliant ideas please reply or email me at foshay3000@hotmail.com. i'd appreciate it.

Next time print out the serial number information and keep it in a safe place. Back it all up to a CD and take that with you too.

Subject:RE: i need a brilliant idea!!! Reply by: drbam Date:7/1/2002 9:19:38 AM <<different pc = different registration # >> Incorrect. I have a 2 PC setup in my studio running the same SoFo apps (the 2nd is primarily for high res mixdown, backup and CD burning). I didn't need different reg. #s for this. You just need to register again with the same #(s), name, email, etc., (as you do with a reinstall). I recently installed a new system drive in my main computer and somehow had misplaced my Sound Forge reg. #. I called SoFo and they emailed me my # within 2 minutes! drbam
Subject:RE: i need a brilliant idea!!! Reply by: ramone Date:7/1/2002 10:20:11 AM not to be argumentative, but sf states that the registration number (not the serial number) is based on the computer id.

However, when I replaced my system drive all I needed was to type in the serial # when I installed the apps and do the quick online re-register. Nice and easy! Thanks SoFo! (Have you ever been through the reauthorization nightmare with Waves?) drbam
