Unable to Open Vegas Program Due to Error Messages

Hi, I have officially purchased the Vegas program from the MAGIX website and now cannot even open the program. First, a window pops up asking me to "Activate and Register immediately online". Once I click on that, another window pops up with the message: "This serial number has already been registered to another email address. Please contact MAGIX support. Error code: 24"  After I close this window, another Error message appears that states: "An error occurred starting VEGAS Pro. There is no license to use this software."

I only have ONE email address registered with Vegas. I have sent Customer Support THREE emails over the past 8 days and have not received any reply from a real human, just AI automated responses.

I've even Uninstalled and Re-installed the Vegas program - but the problem stays.

I paid US$189.99 for the Vegas program, I have a Serial Number, and yet, cannot even open the program.

This is the Order #: Your order number is:  20251221017584494MXC

I'll gladly provide the Serial Number if that could help resolve the problem.

This is not something I can fix on my end.

Please Help, Thank You in advance!

Darlene

Hi Darlene, a frustrating situation.

Presumably you got your serial number in an email. Try copying it from there and pasting rather than typing in.

With your email address make sure you aren't accidentally including anything extra such as a space.
