@Artie-Widgery2722 Where are you trying to get the serial number from? If you already have registered Sound Forge to your customer account at Magix.com your serial number for activation should be listed there under "My Products".

Yep that is exactly where I got the serial number. It has been registered. When I go to create an Activation code it says the product is not registered. I've been going in circles for over an hour.

BTW the product is now in its 3rd hour of download. I started and Stopped the first attempt as it was painfully slow. Second time is the same slow download. I have another 2 hours to go.

Hi,

You activate the product when you first open it. There is no need to try to get an activation code - it is sent to you by email as soon as you purchase. Check your spam box.

@Artie-Widgery2722 I don't think you are doing it correctly. You install the software, run it, and it will ask you then to enter your e-mail address and serial number. No need to create an activation code.

Reports indicate that downloading the unpacked installer (or a build update) has been slow lately and sometimes just stops before the product can start installation.

Once Sound Forge is successfully installed and launched, just follow the prompts to register/activate (as was stated). All you need is the serial code that Magix emailed to you.
