I bought a version of Sound Forge years ago but my hard drive recently died. Can I get a reinstall or upgrade? I can supply proof of purchase.
Can I get a reinstall ...
Yes, if you go to My Products on your MAGIX My Account, you should find an install option for your SoundForge Pro product. This should include SFP versions bought back in Sony Creative Software days.
... or upgrade?
If you go to https://www.magix.com/us/music/sound-forge/sound-forge-pro/?_oB=sound-forge-pro and scroll down to the purchase options, select Upgrade and follow the purchase path. It should ask you to type in your existing SoundForge Pro serial number (which should be on your proof of purchase) and then the process will advise you if you are eligible for the upgrade pricing.
Most of the legacy SF versions will run on Win10. Which version do you have? If you know your old login details for SCS, you can still find your SCS serial numbers and download from the SCS legacy site, The old SCS login info should work in Magix. If all else fails, you cam try contacting the Magix Customer Service Sales Team which handles activation issues and such.
Thanks, everyone. I think I have the serial number. I know I have the original receipt.
Can I buy an older version of SF? I dislike the current versions. SF 10 and 11 were good enough for me.
So, can I? Thanks.
@quesefoda Magix doesn't sell old versions. You need to get them on second hand markets like Ebay. The seller needs to contact Magix support to unregister the license so you can use it for yourself.

Or.. have the serial .. and.. have access to the sellers email account.. which is unlikely. With the serial code alone, Sound Forge cannot be activated unless it is unregistered prior. The serial code and email address are paired, so be aware of this fact if purchasing a 'pre-owned' SF product.
The same applies to Vegas family of products.
