I just got a new computer, and tried to reinstall Sound Forge 6.0. When I run it, it asks for the serial number, and always tells me that the serial number is invalid. What can I do?
Use the same email address you used when it was initially registered with Sonic Foundry (or Sony).
SF-6 is ancient, you should consider a newer version. As I recall SF-6 did not even support VST plug-ins (at least w/o a wrapper). Other than that, the UI of newer versions are basically the same, so re-learning is not much of an issue
I can't. I have no idea what email I had that long ago. Is there some way that tech support can look up the serial number and figure out why it's not working?
I originally installed it in 2002.
2002 was a very long time before Magix acquired the ACID product line from SCS. Hence, Magix are extremely unlikely to have any record of your purchase.
I understand the original Sony licensing servers are still available to users but, without the correct email address, I think you are out of luck, sorry.

Yes, the Sony licensing servers, Your SCS product serial numbers and installation file downloads. But as Jeff stated, without a valid log-in, you're SOL
Addendum, you can try asking the Magix Customer Service Sales team
