The support from Magix was great, but I am still a little leary of a mature program that will not launch properly on (my) Windows 10 desktop in 2021.
You need to contact Magix by email to regarding the serial numbers. The product was purchased from Sony by Magix and registered software users were transferred to Magix. This is very old software (2009) from Sony.
So I am keeping SF Studio 14 on my laptop since I am not getting a refund from Microsoft, and I can not register it with Magix since it does not have a serial number. Cd Architect 5.2 came bundled with my Sound Forge Pro 10.0. This program is a complete audio production suite, equipped with modules to edit audio, record sound, process, design sound, restore and master audio MP3 and also has support. Plus the 10 Pro version can input video files for audio processing, and the Studio version cannot. MAGIX Sound Forge Pro 11 Final Free Download is for years the leading tool to create professional music production, because it is quick, accurate, and you can rely on it. Once again, would not have bought if this was made clear up front.Ĥ) For my limited use of SF, I do not see (so far) any significant changes or tools between SF 10 Pro and SF 14 Studio I am not saying there are not improvements or extra features, but for me I have not discovered any compelling reason to use the 14 version over the 10 version.
Guess what? The Windows Store version does not have a serial number for registration!ģ) Tried to get my $35 USD back from Microsoft, evidently for this program it is non refundable. Magix asked for the serial number so they could register it. If I knew I was going to waste days and nights trying dozens of different thing to try to fix the program, I would have just bought directly from Magix and not worried about the $10 savings.Ģ) The program does run on the laptop just fine. Works just fine on my laptop.ġ) I purchased a copy of SF Studio 14 from the Windows Store in early January as an end of the year sale, $10 USD cheaper than buying from Magix, with the promise of installing on up to 10 PCs (although I only needed two). Well, just to close the loop, after many helpful emails from Magix support, Googling and Youtube videos, nothing was able to allow my desktop PC to launch SF Studio 14 to completion.
