I Downloaded the trial of sony vegas 9.0 to see if i liked it, i did so i decided to buy it
today it came so ive tried to install it but its not working
it installs it fine but when i go to click and use it, a message comes up saying "your trial has expired" and it keeps coming up.
ive tried to register it online but you need a computer i.d code which is given to you when you register it, which i havent because it wont let me!
please im so stuck and i really want to use it!

Thank you anybody who can help, i really need it!!

hmm; maybe delete every version of Vegas currently on your computer. Go into Add/Remove Programs and delete them off. This happens to me when I download new Microsoft Office trials. If i still have the old one on my comp and download and install the new one; it reads the old one as still being there and its expired so I cant use it. So i have to delete the older version and that re-install and it works

so since you have downloaded the vegas 9 trial; its probably still reading that even tho you've bought and installed the new one. So delete the trial completely off your comp and then try installing again

Ive Already Done That, But It Still Reads "Trial Expired"
I Restarted My Computer Too Make Sure It Was Cleared Probably
But It Hasnt Worked. Do You Think I Should Keep Restarting Or Live It For A Couple Of Hours And Then Come Back ??
I Have No Clue! Their Not Giving Me A Chance To Put My Serial Number In!

No I Cant Open It At All

So Delete Even The Video Files?, Do You Think That Would Help?

anything that has sony vegas as a component of it I would delete. But actual videos that you'd play in Media Player that are WMV, AVI and stuff; you don't need to delete. all attatchments of Sony Vegas.

I'd delete everything like I said, make sure the latest version is uninstalled, then restart and try installing your new version again.
