Changing Registration Information -ACID Product Family

Subject:Changing Registration Information Posted by: [r]Evolution Date:11/23/2004 5:07:17 PM Does anyone know if there is a way to change the Registration Information? (when you go to: Help>About) For some reason my Registration Info says, Registered to: A Z I downloaded the trial when it was first released then orderd ACID 5 and input the Serial #. I was never asked to enter any of my personal information. Not that it's a big deal to see A Z there, but it is weird. I would much rather see my name there. (just makes me feel cooler) I've uninstalled and reinstalled ACID 5 but it still never asks me for my information. It instead automatically shows A Z. Is there something more I should be doing to get rid of this Resgistration Information and be able to install using my own info? I just took a look at my VEGAS 5 Help>About and it also says A Z. I haven't installed my DVDA 2 yet. When I do I'd like my entire Sony Suite to have my name in the Registration Info. Any ideas on how to Delete or Update the Registraton Information?

Maybe I'm used to doing this so much that I've never noticed a particular step it takes to bring that info up. All else fails... customer service. Mario

Subject:RE: Changing Registration Information Reply by: Djipy Date:11/23/2004 11:58:59 PM Edit the registry carefully with regedit. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Media Software\Shared Information\User Information] and / or [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sonic Foundry\Shared Information\User Information] (depending on software versions installed)
Subject:RE: Changing Registration Information Reply by: [r]Evolution Date:11/30/2004 1:44:42 PM REGEDIT does the trick! I went into there and migrated to the SonyMediaSoftware registration and changed the info. Whalla! So I guess you could put whatever you want in your registry and it will show in your Splash Screen & on your Help>About. Doesn't make me a better editor, just makes me feel as though I belong. <--mushy*

Have you tried the menu item Help > Update User Information...? That should prompt you to re-register.

Edit the registry carefully with regedit.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Media Software\Shared Information\User Information]

and / or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sonic Foundry\Shared Information\User Information]

(depending on software versions installed)
