Offline activation of VegasPro 6 need computer ID

john-calloway wrote on 9/23/2017, 5:03 AM

I have an old computer running Windows XP, have downloaded/installed VegasPro 6. Computer is not connected to the internet, so I followed the procedure to activate at another computer. Filled in the information on the form, but cannot complete because I need the Computer ID # (whatever that is). Searches of this site and others offer little help. I have tried the HD number from the XP machine and this Win10 machine, neither work.

Why such a number is needed by Magix escapes me, but, if needed, where do I find it.

I'm certain this information is picked up automatically when registering online.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

. . . . VegasPro 6 need computer ID . . . .

Do you mean Video Pro X6, Vegas Pro is a different program, originally by Sony and now part of the Magix product family?

If so then when you see the register/activate dialog there is a link (bottom left?) to register offline, if you follow through the dialogs and instructions you will be presented with a Computer ID which is generated by the program, it is this number that you need.

Hi.

The dedicated forum for Vegas Pro users is here. I think you should post your question there.

Thanks for the replies. My product is Vegas 6.0 (have most versions from, I think, 2.0 through 12. Will follow your link to the Vegas Pro forum. I'm not computer noob, but find navigating the Magix forums a bit of a challenge.

Again, thanks for your replies.
