I recently had to replace my computer.  I'm hoping you can help me install my Sony Acid Screenblast 7.0 program onto my new PC.  The serial number is listed below.  The Machine ID is the former (and now replaced) PC.

Serial Number: Removed by Moderator

Thank you for helping me with this transition.

Hi

Please do not post serial numbers, computer ids or any pother personal information in the forum, you may lose control of your software.

Assuming the new computer is running Windows 10 then Screenblast, being a very old program is not compatible with Windows 10 and is very unlikely to install.

@johnebaker  Can you please tell me how to acquire the Acid Screenblast 7.0 program again? Is it through the Magix site?

@Connie-Ardiff

Screenblast software was rebranded Home Studio by Sony back in 2008 and there is no official download of this software from Magix or Sony.

Assuming your new computer is running Windows 10 then the only option is to upgrade to the nearest Acid product to the old software that you have - this is probably Acid Music Studio 11.
