I've successfully entered the serial number, but still lacking the registration process. Everytime I start the program, I am guided through an "online" registration process and get a message that the software is unable to connect to the server. When I attempt the same process through the Help menu while Vegas is running, the registration appears to complete successfully. Every time now I restart Vegas, I am forced to complete (or cancel) the registration process before the program will start.
[UPDATE] I'm seemingly able to resolve only while I'm writing this post. After a few more tries of registering. and continuous "Retries" trying to connect to the server, I was briefly instructed to enter the authentication code. After completing the authentication code once and twice again, I am now able to start Vegas with everything... all included features and no more looping through registrations.
"I've never heard of Supersoftware.com, and worse yet, neither has ResellerRatings.com. Their price of $99 is too good to be true, and unlikely legitimate."
It did strike me suspicious at first glance, but looking over it, the looks of it were entirely professional. There were a number of hoops to jump through after purchase and download to get the software running. What became even more suspicious is that I was instructed to put in false registration names, and there was a product key generator with words in Russian. But other than that, the entire package looks fully accessible... haven't got to the part of installing DVD Architect/Sound Forge yet, though.
