Trying to register Acid Music Studio 9.0 after installing on new pc.

I know I should probably just buy a new DAW, but I like this dinosaur of a program. Problem is, after installing and trying to register it online. The built-in registration function in the program won't work because it's still trying to connect to the old Sony servers. Going online to the Magix site and trying to register it, I'm getting an error that the serial number is already registered - from when it was installed on my old pc, I assume. How do I get around this so I don't get the register nag message every time I open the program? Thx for any advice/info.
