I am really having a difficult time getting through to somebody to obtain the authetication code for my Sony Vegas Pro 13. I am just trying to move it to another computer, but before I removed it from the old one I need to verify the output favorites. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to transfer the output favorites unfortunately. I have all of my license information, etc, but it will not allow me to finalize the install on my new computer.
All of the "forms" i have filled out on support keep redriecting me to MAGIX, but the pages fail to load as if their systems don't work or something. The forms on SCS keep rerouting me to MAGIX. Who do i contact to obtain the authentication code? Thanks
You can install SVP 13 on the other computer without deinstalling it on the old one.
But copy and paste it on an other computer doesn't work, you need to install it.
If you have the serialnumber the additional installation and registration should be no problem.
i think john-brown is correct. the website seems to be back up. I was finally able to get to the page to generate an activation code- HOWEVER- it doesn't seem to accept the computer ID that I am putting in. I have tried entering both the old computer ID and the new computer id. How do i get this to generate an activation code?
Hello, I would like to know what the "Optional Authentication Code" that Sony products come with is for. I bought the sony vegas 13 online and they only gave me the serial to activate it. However, I have seen that when you buy it on its original disc it comes with something called "Optional Authentication Code" I would like to know what that is for. Thank yound if it is necessary to have that authentication code or not?
Well I don't think it's someone authorized, because a person online sold it to me, he gave me his serial number at a cheap price and I registered it in my magix account and I registered without problems and downloaded the program and installed and activated it. I know it's obsolete but that doesn't bother me, since I've always used it and it works fine for me on my Windows 11. What I wanted to know is if it's necessary to have the optional authentication code or not and what that code is for. Thank you
I still use VP-9 occasionally on my old Vista PC. VP-9 and most SCS software were not limited to only two PCs. In the help menu's 'about VP', it states "this software is licensed to" 'my name' and states the serial code and machine ID.
I have the original box of Movie Studio Platinum, another version of the one I bought, and inside it comes the original disc and a sony card where the serial to activate it is, and under the serial it has something called "optional authentication code". It also comes with the architec Studio DVD with its serial number and another optional authentication code. But I could already find on the sony vegas page what the optional authentication code is for.
"An optional authentication code is included with the serial number on the insert found in boxed product. If you purchase a downloadable application, you will not need or receive an optional authentication code."
As I recall, the only versions I ever had that were on a disc were Sound Forge 4.5 and Vegas 2.0 (audio only), None needed an activation serial, but had to be installed directly from the disc. That was many moons ago.. even prior to Sony's acquisition.
I have an older laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium and have wiped the hard drive clean. I re-installed Movie Studio HD 11 and it ran fine using the included s# and "Optional Authentication code" (that came with the CD) until the trial period ended. It now says I need to register it and obtain a Authentication code. I went on Magix site and entered the serial# to get authentication and it says it needs to be registered. But when I try to register it Magix says that serial number has already been registered. Can anyone help?
As the annual Consumer Electronics Show opens in Las Vegas, we explore the new gadgets and gizmos that 2014 will bring. Will this be the year ultra-high-def, 4K resolution TV goes mainstream? Will you buy a smart watch to manage your texts and emails and leave your phone in your pocket? Will passwords finally become obsolete, thanks to new online security measures? The Computer Guys and Gal examine tech innovations and answer your questions.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIYou know what that music means. It means that from WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world and The Computer Guys and Gal. That's what that music means. They are here. Bill Harlow, Hardware and Software Technician for MACs and PCs at Mid-Atlantic Consulting, Inc. This is 2014. This gamer has some new moves which he will probably display today. Happy New Year.
NNAMDIAllison Druin, Chief Futurist at the University of Maryland, Division of Research, is joining us today from the National Park Services Stephen T. Mather Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. What the heck she's doing there, we don't know.
MS. ALLISON DRUINActually, a bunch of us are thinking about the future, John. I know you're missing it all, but we're actually thinking about the future of technology and the National Park Service. So, and they were kind enough to say, sure, everyone eat while Allison works. And so, I'm on a lunch break right now, which I'm excited about.
DRUINThis, actually, this training center's really interesting. It was named after the first, actually, the first director of the National Park Service. But it actually is on the grounds of the former Storer College. And it is, was one of the first educational institutions to offer education to free African American Civil War -- to freed African Americans after the Civil War. And it's a wonderful center where there is a design center today where people think about learning and training for the National Park Service when you're either a interpreter in a National Park or whatever.
NNAMDIThe annual Consumer Electronics Show opened last night in Las Vegas. It runs through Friday. This is where companies, large and small, tried out their new gadgets and gizmos, tried to generate some buzz for their products. One of the technologies getting a lot of attention this year is ultra high definition television sets, what are known as 4K displays is what they have on them. Are you ready for a quantum leap in television technology, one that would give you a picture resolution twice as good as what you've got now?
NNAMDIGive us a call. 800-433-8850, or send email to ko...@wamu.org. You can send us a tweet at kojoshow or paste a comment -- post a comment on our Facebook page. You can also go to our website, kojoshow.org, and make a comment there. Let's start with Bill with the television upgrades. The headline grabber. 4K TV. How does this ultra high definition display work, and how will it improve my viewing experience?
HARLOWWell, if you have a really big TV, or you have a smaller TV and want to sit with your nose pressed right up against the glass, 4K resolution can be quite nice. I think right now, all the people I know who have a TV that haven't spent crazy amounts of money, have one that's reasonably sized and sit a reasonable distance away. So, I think the short answer is, while it is a high resolution TV, and I think more pixels are going to happen. It's just the nature of technology. For most people, it won't be a huge benefit. They'll probably be really nice TVs. But your current 1080p TV, which is basically 2K, I mean, I just bought a new TV for the basement, and it is 1080p. It's not 4K, which means it's affordable, and for my viewing distance, it's gonna be just fine.
HARLOWSo, I think resolution is just one metric to define a TV, and while it's a nice selling point, and a lot of content will eventually probably be in that resolution, if you're buying a TV today, it doesn't really matter.
GILROYYeah, no one's buying it, and so if you look at just the sales, you know, in 2012, about 84 million TVs were sold. 2014, they're predicting 123 million sold, so I think what people are saying is, well, we got a smart phone, and Kojo's saying, well, maybe put this in the TV, make a smart TV. Maybe this is the transition, and CES is talking about it.
DRUINYou boys. Anyway, but you know, I have to ask myself, unless there's text on that TV, you're not necessarily gonna need, you know, as much resolution as 4D is gonna give you. But as more and more of our content shifts into one place or multiple places that we wanna see the same content, text is going to be an important issue on those TVs. And so I think maybe not now, but in the next few years, yes, having higher definition and higher resolution is going to be an important thing.
NNAMDIBill, the company LG has unveiled a TV that's connected to the internet and runs on an operating system that got its start in the Palm Pilot many years ago. I love my old Palm. It's called Web OS. What will it do and why do I want my TV connected to the internet?
HARLOWSo the other thing that I think more people probably do use on their shiny new TVs is the apps. So, these smart TVs have all these apps. The big ones are things like Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, Netflix. But the interface can be pretty hit or miss. Some of them are really bad. On some TVs, there's a delay when you're working with it. So the idea behind this is let's take a proven, fairly lightweight OS, and build it into our TV so you have something that's pretty easy to use, Pretty slick, nice looking and I think it's a good differentiator.
GILROYYou know, this reminds me of, you know, because I'm an old geezer, I remember something called a salesman sample. And so, Kojo Nnamdi would knock on your door and say, hey, buy one of these. And it's a salesman. Never looked like the real thing. And that's what I think this technology is. It's a salesman sample. Or it's an island, because, you know, you just can't go out and dial up Cox Communications and say, hey, let's plug in my fancy pants TV now. Because the bandwidth can't handle it.
