For future reference, please note that Sound Forge's forum is on MAGIX's forum at https://www.magix.info/us/audio-forum/sound-forge/

However, the activation for Sony-era Sound Forge is the same as for Sony-era Vegas Pro and the process is given in the News section of this forum: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/activation-of-sony-creative-software-era-applications--149297/?page=1

If you experience any problems with getting the process to create a Computer ID, please refer to my comment towards the bottom of page 1 about this.

Please be aware that the VEGAS and MAGIX forums are user-to-user forums, not an avenue to Support.

With the problem with the serial number that you've encountered, you'll probably need to contact MAGIX Support at: https://www.magix.info/us/support?category=168277&title=sound-forge

BTW, it's not a great idea to upload images to the forum that include your product's serial number because the forum is publicly available worldwide which, unfortunately, may be an open invitation to scammers or the like to copy and misuse that serial number.
