@DALALALA You bought it from Magix? Activating the serial number doesn't need a restart. Or have you bought an old Sony version?

I bought it from Amazon with an official box with a key inside, and two disks, yes it was an old version of Acid music studio 10.0

@DALALALA Without a picture of the box I would guess that's old stock of the Sony version. I suggest you contact customer support at infoservice@magix.net and ask them to replace this version with a Magix version. Show them the your Amazon order confirmation. It is likely the Sony version will no longer work since Sony shut down the license servers. That would explain your problems. In the meantime you can install the free trial version and activate it for 30 days. It might take some days until the support will respond.

@DALALALA Was the box sealed? The discs are also by Magix?

@DALALALA

Two things are noticeable about that box, I think:

  1. Its physical condition strongly suggests it is not totally brand new, sorry.
  2. See the part of the image of the reverse of the box which I have highlighted below:

The label clearly states this is the "Old Version", i.e. the last one released by Sony. As @SP. suggested above, that is the reason your attempts to register the product have been unsuccessful.

I would strongly suggest you return the product to Amazon for a full refund and then consider purchasing direct from Magix, albeit it will be now version 11. If you do decide to do this I would also recommend downloading the Trial version of the program to test on your computer before you buy it!
