Subject:When does the serial # arrive?

I ordered and downloaded the OSX version earlier today. When I installed it I have to run it in demo mode because I don't have the required serial number.

Was it supposed to have been emailed? It's not in the completed order form.

If you have not received your SN - most sony SN come via email after the purchase is made with a confirmation order email and usually SN in that email.
Contact Customer Service is this has not been resolved for you. I can not see them doing anything different for MAC versions of programming.

As barr hinted, we assume the same thing happens for Mac orders as for Windows orders, but we don't really know. Generally i get the email with the serial number within a minute. I don't think i've ever had it take more than 2 minutes. Check your spam folder; sometimes it ends up there.

This is one annoyance i've got. Sony has a really nice feature here on this website that will show you all your serial numbers for your purchased software, but only *after* you have registered it. And you can't register it without your serial number! I do understand the reasoning since you might be purchasing for a 3rd party and that other person will register it for themselves rather than under your account. However, a simple solution to this would be to have the serial number show up under My Orders as well.

Yes, check your spam folder, then contact customer service.

Geoff, read my previous response. No, it won't show up until *after* the software is registered.
