Hello! (And help. Problems installing software from Humble Bundle)

Hello! I'm SunSetterRiser, but just call me Sun for now. I just joined this website a day or two ago. I'm also very new to making music, so I barely know some things about it like the terms or tools/instruments musicians use. I've never even heard of MAGIX until I saw the Humble Bundle deal a week ago. I do wish to someday make music, preferably for video games or for just having the skill to make music, but I'm not sure where to start. I saw this Humble Bundle deal they had (which is now no longer on sale) that I thought would be a great start to music making. I bought the 1$ deal which had 3 programs of MAGIX on there: MP3 Deluxe 19, Music Maker EDM Edition, and Soundpool: Deeper Shades of House. I started to try installing the MP3 Deluxe 19 first, so I did the usual way of how Humble Bundle users install their bought products. But now, every time I try to install it, this happens:

This happened 2 times already. I tried installing it when I first got it, didn't work. Day after, same thing. I entered in the correct Serial Number everytime too. Nothing pops up other than the "Please Wait" window, and then it crashes instantly. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Also, sorry if I posted this same post twice. When I first joined, it wanted me to make a post to "begin my journey" or whatever. So, this is what my supposedly first post was going to be about, but when I clicked post, I didn't see it anywhere. I don't know what happened, but just in case if it did get posted somewhere, sorry about that. Hope this is an OK first post.

I'm encountering the same issue. I've stripped the app from my system, redownloaded, and reinstalled it in another folder with the same result. If I skip entering the serial number and run the application as an evaluation copy, it runs normally.

I'm running Windows 10 Build 16299.

As a side note, I was able to install and activate Music Maker with no issues.

Hey SunSetterRiser, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the new patch that was just released, but I was able to activate the application by starting it as a trial version, then clicking the Activate Program link under Help in the Main Menu. It displays the same window you see when starting the program, and actually completes the activation. It starts up normally after. Hope that works for you.

It looked like it worked. I was able to go to its trial version and register the product from there. Went through the same screens but this time, no crashes. Thanks! Although, mine said, "Register Online..." instead of Activate Program. I'm not sure what you're talking about the new patch, but I'm sure that's why ours said different things. It did just now ask me about an update. Is that what you're referring to? I just got this thing, so I'm not sure if I should really change or update anything. I don't know how to even use either of these things tbh. These are my very first music softwares besides LMMS. Thank you though! That was apparently the solution and now I (seem to) have the full versions.
