Reauthorize Sound Forge Plug-ins -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Reauthorize Sound Forge Plug-ins Posted by: danika Date:8/23/2005 2:06:34 PM I had to rebuild my C drive and reinstall Sound Forge 8. Even though I re-registered Sound Forge, a lot of the FX plug-ins still say "Demo". For example: Time Stretch, Paragraphic EQ, Multiband Dynamics, Vibrato, and Graphic EQ. (All of these plugs show a Sonic Foundry logo, BTW. Don't know whether that's significant or not.) Although they still seem to work OK, I'm afraid they will expire. As a matter of fact when I tried to use one in Acid, it kept beeping which I assume means it had expired. How do I reauthorize these plug-ins. I opened a support request on 8/13 on this, and have yet to receive a response. So I'm hoping I have better luck here.

Make sure you install 8.0 under an account that has full registry access (i.e. admin). DirectX plug-ins must be registered globally. So the safest option is to uninstall and re-install. But if the sfppack*.dll files exist in in c:\Program Files\Sony\Shared Plug-Ins\Audio, you can try just drag-n-dropping them on an open instance of Forge to re-register them. J.

(Because I still like the old batch converter better.) So I unistalled Sound Forge and CD Architect and re-installed them and everything seems to be fine now.
