Activation of Sony Creative Software era applications

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.

@Jep ... From memory, the Next button doesn't become available until all the mandatory personal details have been entered (and that may be more than just your name and email address) and at least the 2nd checkbox re the privacy policy at the bottom of the window has been checked.

In the words of Homer Simpson "DOH!!!". Thank you very much. That worked and DVDA 6.0 is activated and working.👌
