View Full Version : how to transfer vegas license
Jeff Harper October 13th, 2008, 12:15 PM I've been to sony's website but cannot seem to find info about transferring ownership of Vegas...anyone know where I should look?
I called Sony but they are closed today...thx
Renton Maclachlan October 13th, 2008, 01:08 PM Sony Creative Software can transfer the licence for you to the new owner. On the Sony site under customer services I think it is, there is a link to 'licence transfers'.
I've done it twice.
Jeff Harper October 13th, 2008, 01:11 PM Thanks, Renton. I'll go check it out.
Edward Troxel October 13th, 2008, 01:14 PM You can always just call Customer Service and they can help you do it. You may need to wait until tomorrow (as today's a holiday).
Jeff Harper October 13th, 2008, 01:16 PM Thanks Renton, I went and looked but for the life of me I can't find the link...search turned up nothing. I am obviously missing something!
Right Edward, they are closed today...
Renton Maclachlan October 13th, 2008, 11:27 PM Sorry about that Jeff. I wrote that some time ago on another site, and simply uplifted it thinking it still applied. But I just had a look myself and you're right, it is not there now.
I wonder why - or wonder if it is only there when a new version comes out.
I will be interested to know how you get on, as I've upgraded and transferred my licence every time a new version comes out.
Gilles Pialat October 13th, 2008, 11:44 PM Maybe you can try that:
Go to your Sony support page and choose " Category > Activation/Serial Number > Licence Transfers ".
Jeff Harper October 14th, 2008, 04:41 AM I'll call them today...there is no Activation link or category that I could find.
Gilles Pialat October 14th, 2008, 04:52 AM Why don't you try that I said ?
Jeff Harper October 14th, 2008, 04:53 AM I Did Try, There Is No Link Called Activation
Jeff Harper October 14th, 2008, 07:27 AM I was wrong. I went to the knowledgebase, found the category. It led to completely unrelated stuff. Please forget I brought this up. I'm calling them. Thanks for your help, everyone.
Renton Maclachlan October 14th, 2008, 01:16 PM Gillies: How do you get to that page in your thumbnail?
What are the steps from the home page of SonyCreativeSoftware.com?
I'm blowed if I can find what you've shown. I'd like to know for future reference - and it is good to have in the archives.

Go to My Account > My Support > Ask a question > Category > Activation > License Transfers.
Renton Maclachlan October 15th, 2008, 08:51 PM Thanks, got it. Sure is hidden away!
Jeff Harper October 16th, 2008, 01:00 AM FWIW, the phone call to customer support handled the transfer in almost no time.
