My guess is that I'll simply have to buy another audio editing software. So, question # 1: any solution to this odd dilemma?Īnd that leads to 'Best Audio Editing Software.' I am not interested in downloading a 'crack' (many on YouTube) but I would like to get CEP cranked up on the new computer for use while I'm traveling away from home. 'Marco' is still out there along with many others-but none I tried would open up the 21-day trial period to full access. Now, with no support from Adobe and Syntrillium being just a memory, and my having been a legitimate customer way back when, I searched online for ANY applicable name and number to get it cranked up again. I went through the usual registration steps using my user name and ID number-and it did not work. So today, I installed CEP on to the new laptop I bought running Windows 7 and to my surprise and delight, it installed flawlessly.

'Marco Hardmeier' and the ID number apparenty opened a LOT of bootleg copies. Matter of fact, that registration is in working copies of CEP in two other computers in my house right now.įact: I later learned that the registration name that came with that eBay copy was indeed an illegal copy. I found what was advertised as a working copy with valid registration(which you had to enter manually) on eBay, and while it was pricey, I popped for it to continue using Cool Edit Pro, as it met my needs well.

After they were out of the picture (and Adobe announced the end of support), I managed to lose my registration information. The backstory is important here: I bought Cool Edit Pro 2.1 from Syntrillium directly around 1998.

This ancient program (which Adobe bought from Syntrillium and converted into Audition) loaded and ran in Windows 8 with a few minor tweaks, but now I have a Windows 7 computer and am experiencing a somewhat different problem: the registration. Please note that very early this year I had posted a question regarding installing CEP, but this is not a repeat of that. Let's start with the Cool Edit Pro Registration quandry.
