I currently replaced my PC and have no CD drive. I actually own the Sound Forge 7.0 disk and am looking for the software to pull down into my PC with windows 11. I do have my product registration number if needed. This version is perfect and would like to continue to use.
@Dennis-Garcia Visit Magix.com and use your old Sony login credentials (e-mail and password) to access your user account. There you should be able to download the installer.
If this doesn't work you could get an external USB disk drive. I think they cost about $20. But I'm not sure if you still can activate Sound Forge 7 in case it wants to connect to the Sony registration servers. These are no longer available.
Welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @Dennis-Garcia, If you cannot log-in to the Magix service center to download SF-7, You can download "soundforge70b" from the Sony archives

I am not sure either if you can activate it.. though I did successfully install and activate SF 9 and 10 two or so years ago to check something out.
