Transfer license from PC to MAC

I asked Support this a month ago but they never answered. Is there any way to transfer my Sound Forge license from PC to MAC? I have 12 products and none will work with my new Mac. Sound Forge has a Mac version but I guess I will drop that too. Must be time to move on to some other DAW and Audio production software.

@william-block This can only be done by support. Have you already contacted sales support at infoservice@magix.net? They should be able to do something for you.

Be aware that SoundForge will not work under modern MAC versions (Catalina, Big Sur)

Hi

. . . . Transfer license from PC to MAC . . . .  I have 12 products and none will work with my new Mac Sound Forge has a Mac version but I guess I will drop that too. . . .

Apple killed all 32 bit apps with the introduction of Catalina, all apps must now be 64 bit.

In addition to @SP.  comment Sound Forge for MAC will also not work on a M1 processor based MAC - see this comment from Magix.
