My Vegas 10 won't install anymore

I built a new PC and none of my Sony suite will install anymore. I'm pretty sure my serial number has been blacklisted, but I no longer have my copy installed anywhere at all and would just like to install it on my new PC. I'll admit, I had it installed it on both my laptop and old PC, but I only used one copy at any one time, but also, there is no way to deactivate the original installation. I don't have any support, but I opened a ticket anyway. I am only asking for Sony to reset my serial that likely has too many activations.

I had similar issues with the last PowerDVD software I bought and they completely understood that people upgrade their computers and may have to re-install the software from time to time. They reset my account and even upgraded my Upgrade version to a Full Ultra version with a link to the latest EXE, and thanked me for being a valuable customer. Please help me, Sony! I registered and everything!

Oh, and I'm pretty sure since my serial now seems invalid to Sony's system, I'd probably need to buy a full version of Vegas 11 or 12 as I wouldn't qualify for any upgrade software as they would see my serial as invalid too.

Are you getting error -41 (i think it is, anyway)?

You might get a much faster response if you call the order/sales line. They've resolved this issue for me on the spot; takes about 20 seconds.

And no, having activation disabled does NOT invalidate your serial number. It's still yours for upgrading.

I got a reply from my ticket and they have reset my serial! And yes I did get the -41 error on this website. I guess that's what I get for upgrading my PC so often and trying to troubleshoot on another PC. Thank you, Sony!

FYI, Sony support has been very helpful resetting my activation limit for the entire suite of software I purchased! Ironically, this now makes me want to upgrade to Vegas 12 64-bit. See what good customer service does? Repeat business! lol
