After updating the Sound Forge 16 program to the latest fix last week, I have to activate it with the serial number every time. Is there a fix for this? This is the only program update that keeps prompting me to register each time.
Hi @Thomas-Sullivan, try deactivating SF-16 for the pertinent PC in the "Magix Service Center> "My products". Select the pertinent product from the list and click "Show more details" and "Deactivate" the PC that is misbehaving then restart SF and reactivate. You can also deactivate in Sound Forge in the 'Help' menu> "Deactivate the software on this PC" but I would use the online method in this case.
A user recently reported that uninstalling and reinstalling SF resolved the issue as well, but I would recommend trying deactivate>reactivate first.
One license for Sound Forge 16 can be activated on a total of (2) PCs simultaneously (for instance, both your desktop and laptop), If SF is wanted on an alternate PC, one of two current activations would need to be deactivated and then re-activated on the alternate PC.
The '365' subscription version can only be activated on one (1) PC at a time.
