If you own a license of an older version of Vegas Pro, Vegas Movie Studio, DVD Architect, Sound Forge or Acid Pro and are trying to activate it, you will no longer be able to use the original activation workflow. The reason for this is that this older software will try to connect to a Sony server which is now no longer in operation.

You may still activate your software using the off-line method by following these steps:

• Log into the service center on vegascreativesoftware.com
• Click "create activation code"
• Type in the serial number for the SCS era software
• Type in the computer ID provided by the SCS era software when prompted
• Copy and paste the activation code provided into the field in the SCS era app prompt.
