Hello , i had the magix music maker deluxe edition 2006 installed on an old computer , i would like to install it on another laptop but have lost the CD . I copied the entire magix folder onto the new laptop and wasn't surprised to find it asking me to insert the original CD when i tried starting it. Question is : since i still have magix music maker edition installed on the older computer , what information can i find and provide (within these files) that would give me permission to re-download the same version of magix again from the new laptop ? I tried searching for a validation key or something of that sort in the magix folder but couldn't find any . There's the 'Validation' app which i ran and it showed this message : " Unexpected data received '' .
There is another potential issue - if the new laptop is running Windows 10 then it is very likely that the program will not run correctly as it is not compatible with Windows 10, in which case you will have to upgrade to a Windows 10 compatible version.
Music Maker is now licensed as a 'freemium' product, ie you can install the free version, however this is very restricted in terms of functionality, features, soundpools and instruments, unfortunately those from Music Maker 2006 are not compatible and cannot be used.
Hello again Johnebaker , i found the cd , i installed music maker 2006 but it's in french . didn't find any language- related controls in the settings , i did a little bit of searching and found someone who had the same problem and that the solution was to download the trial version of music maker and replace the original files with the trial files . The post didn't say 'replace the files' in french it said 'replace the original app with the trial app' , which i assume means replacing the files .. Trouble is there are no older music maker trial versions left right ? Any suggestions ?
@johnebaker already commented that MM 2006 is very old (in software terms). By far your best course of action is to download and install the current Free version, test it out, see what it does and then consider whether it is worth you upgrading to one of the paid-for versions in order to gain full operational control of the app. (As fellow-users, we always recommend the Premium version if you decide to upgrade.)
As for the language problem you are seeing, where did the CD come from? Is it a "French" version? If so, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to change the language to anything else by editing any installation files since they will be written to the CD and so not easily editable. Current download trial versions are likely to be multilingual but this is unlikely to help you with the language of the version you currently have. As you say, trial versions of older software are not available and all current versions seem to overwite recent older versions on installation. Whether a current trial version would overwrite the 2006 version is doubtful but I confess to also doubting whether it would resolve your language problem!
Read through the MAGIX Technical Help Page.Click on "Additional activations" in the list shown on the left - they even have videos explaining how to do it. By KenCoon - 9 Years Ago That's where the problems begin.
I clicked on online activation and it gave me an error Code-10 and told me to contact Customer Service.
They really don't have a "Customer Service" except calling on the phone. I looked all through that site for a way to email them and couldn't find one. I went through it several times.
It would be nice if things worked out that way they tell you in the video but they don't for me.
Thanks.
Ken By wires - 9 Years Ago Have you looked at this page?
Some of our products may prompt you to activate additional codecs (MPEG2, MPEG4, Dolby Sound or AVCHD). These functions are required for the software to be able to read and write the video or audio format you are trying to use. The activations are there due to licencing purposes with the original developers of the codecs.
Normally the codec can simply be ordered by selecting the Order Online option. Here, you will be asked to login with your registered Email address and the activation code will be sent to your email.
Have you registered your product with them? By KenCoon - 9 Years Ago The product is registered. I did that first.
The problem came because I had saved the files from iClone in MP4. This requires a free activation of a codec in Magix. When I tried to activate it following the screens it said it failed and gave me an error-10. It then said to contact Customer service.
I found out rather quickly there is no way to contact Customer Service except by long distance Phone.
I didn't want to add another program (Skype) to my computer right now so I changed the format they were saved from iClone to WMV and they went into the program. I now have it done with the WMV files and am going to shut down for the night.
I may try again to activate the CODEC tomorrow if it will let me. If not, I will find a way to text them and wait for an answer while I render the iClone files in WMV format unless that gives me more problems down the road.
Thanks for all the help.
Ken By SchachMatt - 9 Years Ago Hi Ken,
the MP4 from IClone may be the issue. My experience comes from Iclone 5 but it may be still true in IClone 6: The MP4 Codec from RL is "MP4 for PC". Please use a SW to check the video codec structure like e.g. MediaInfo. It should be "MPEG4 (H.264)".
My IClone 5 workaround is to use AVI 25 Frames uncompressed. I let the Magix Videodeluxe then do the work to transfer them (in batch mode) to a codec supported by VDL.
Greetings,
Gerhard By KenCoon - 9 Years Ago That is pretty much what I am doing now.
I changed the render in iClone to WMV and rendered them that way and then they were accepted in Magix.
There is an authentication possible in Magix but they may be on their weekend.
I have it working for me now so I will stay with that arrangement until I can find a way to get the CODEC working in Magix.
Thanks for the help.
By the way. Yes, I do get a pension check. I am 74 years old for the smart guy with the snotty remark that wants to run the forum.
This problem may be one that present or future owners of iClone6 may have when trying to make movies with iClone6.
Thanks again.

Yep I had a check and it is MP4 h.264. It's the standard for Quicktime and a codec that is commonly used for video; strange that it cannot be opened in Magix. By Rampa - 9 Years Ago The issue is that Magix licenses the codecs from someone else, and so has them locked when you initially purchase their editor. If you have the right license (there are different versions), they let you unlock the codecs with an online process. So something just hasn't cleared through properly, or the version Ken has does not allow for the MP4 codec.
I have the "Pro Plus"version, and it does allow it. There is a non "Plus" version that may not. I think the naming may be different now as well. My copy is a few years old.
@Ken
WMV is a fine choice! I often use it. Set the quality to maximum in iClone when you export, so you'll get the best footage possible in Magix.

I notice that WMV has Ultra HD too. MP4 does not, but that could be changed. By moviemachine - 9 Years Ago Regarding the nat woi comment.
Jeez, I thought I was the forum moron around here... but it appears I have been dethroned.
Ken,
Your enthusiasm as a newbie is refreshing on this forum.
Problems you encounter and bring forward are things many of us encounter.
Keep asking those questions
Keep being the guy unafraid to raise his hand in class.
I for one benefit greatly from the solutions brought forward by fellow members. By planetstardragon - 9 Years Ago the beauty of this forum imo - is people from all walks of 3D life getting together and helping each other without the ego.
Most other places I've gone on the net, usually have Pros looking down on noobs. Everyone is equal in iclone in that we focus on our love of art and share it.
Iclone brings the community back to a world where the competition is heavy and ruthless.
So it is encouraged from everyone from the company to user - to keep this spirit of community because the progress we can make together is immense.
I'm convinced that the worlds next steven spielberg is in this forum, but we have to create a sacred ground for him/ them to come out.
Dear Mr/Ms future Super Director - your pro audio guy has been here clearing the way for you! By KenCoon - 9 Years Ago Gee, you make me want to be younger again. Too late for that.
Anyway, After several attempts to get this straightened out at Magix, I finally decided to take it off my computer and then re install it again. I am doing that now.
I bought it over the weekend and things may have been messed up because of the licensing and authentication issues.
I also began with the trial edition which treats the codecs differently.
I am hoping a clean install will solve the problem. If not, I guess I won't be using the Mpeg4 files there.
I have Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015 Plus. It should have everything I need and be able to authenticate it for me.
We shall see. If I finally find the solution, I will let you know so anyone else having that problem will be able to fix it.
One of the reasons I wanted the software is that they allow you to make Tutorials (If I ever get that good.)
Ken By mark - 9 Years Ago Hope you get it sorted out Ken! Can't wait to see what you come up with! By KenCoon - 9 Years Ago That fixed it. Apparently you cannot activate the codecs if you have the trial version downloaded.
It did manage to activate the program with the trial but when you try to do anything with the Mpeg4 files it will always direct you to the online activation and then give you an error.
After I took everything off the computer and then reloaded and installed the program they tell you when you purchase it, everything will work fine.
Hope this helps anyone in the future having this problem.
Ken
By KenCoon - 9 Years Ago Can anyone who uses Magix tell me if I really need all of those additional things they have me downloading? It looks like it is going to take a few days non stop to get them all loaded.
Ken By colour - 9 Years Ago Apart from Video & Audio CODECS supplied & Installed by Windows OS, all others Installed by NLE Programs, are paid for by NLE Program Developers to the CODECS relevant Developers, on a single usage basis. Hence the Activation Keys.That is - They only pay for the CODECS used.
