Whatever file that was broken in the registry that did not allow me to use 8.0 was shared by 9.0 and fixed by the 9.0 upgrade. Of course it worked and they gave me a serial number so that I could use 9.0 indefinatly.Īs a result of downloading 9.0 and using a new serial # 8.0 now works too. I then went to their site and downloaded the trail version of 9.0. They told me that they would not give me an upgrade unless I downloaded the trail version to make sure that it worked. At this point I demanded an upgrade to 9.0. We got 8.0 to fail on another computer and after confronting tech support about this they still deny that Sound Forge has such a protective file. My Tech guy and I confirm that there is a file that is installed in the registry if Sound Forge is not registered within 30 uses regardless of trail version or full version. I will keep posting to this page and update as further things developed. If anyone has had a similar problem with this program please share your information.

All of this of course did not work and sound forge is still useless.Īt this point I am waiting to see what they are going to do next. I also registered online with the computer that sound forge is installed to. They then sent me a force register program that supposedly forced the program to open the missing plug-ins. He mentioned that Adobe products and Auto Cad have these files in them and when they execute they are almost impossible to get rid of without doing a system overlay.Īfter mentioning this to tech support they said they knew nothing of a file like that. He told me that sometimes expensive programs have a file in their system that if they are not registered within a certain amount of time they render the program useless to protect for pirating protection. He told me that it had to be a protective program inside of Sound Forge. Since I had my computer custom built I called my guy and asked him what the problem could be. We established that it was not installing the complete version and that many of the plug-ins were missing although they had been working before.Īfter being on the phone with tech support for two hours he told me that it must be something wrong with the way windows is set up. We the uninstalled and reinstalled the program three times over the phone and still nothing worked. After that it still did not work and so I then started working with the tech guy over the phone. So I registered my copy with their format on another computer and brought back an access code that I entered into Sound Forge. Just recently when I fired up the program the EQ was not working and so was wave hammer function where as they had worked before.

Since I live in the sticks I don't have access to the Internet all the time so I did not register my copy of 8.0d. I bought Sony Sound Forge 8.0 about two months ago.
