registering Vegas

I'm trying to install vegas and sound Forge, but get a error message saying I can't connect to the server.

I use Mozilla Firefox instead of MS IE. Could that be the problem? And if so, how can I fix it?

thanks for any help.

Do you have anything like a firewall or IP blocker running - it could interfere with registering - could be worth a quick disbale and test (and then re-enable afterwards)

Yes, I do have a very nice Cisco firewall, but I've had it for years and have registered a number of versions with it.

I just re-installed IE 7 and am hoping it re-set anything that may have gotten unset with my Firefox install.

ff/ie should have nothing to do with the registration. runs it's own program. i'd just disable the firewall, or check & see if MS/AV/etc. is blocking it.

OK, none of the above worked, so I took the dialog's suggestion and did "alternate Registration" thru Customer Support.

Only had to go through it twice to enter the serial correctly (doh!)

thanks guys, nonetheless.

BTW, any forum denizens going to NAMM?

I too run Firefox and I actually had to open it during registration to "show" Vegas that it was connected to the internet. Then the registration went through in a blink.
