Firstly “Google Is My Friend” <smile>. I tried these instructions with both Sound Forge Audio Studio and Pro versions. Copying from eMail I found to be an absolute pain and there’s a far better way given that I found copying and pasting doesn’t work anyway and good luck to anyone who gets it working as it makes the whole damn job so much easier. Each user of Sound Forge has their own page where you can log in and view product details such as Serial numbers etc as well as download the latest build for that product. If you login and go to the products link you will see your products along with their corresponding serial numbers. Use the cursor to move through the serial number digit-by digit and use alt-cal to toggle between the open Web Page and Sound Forge where you can enter the serial number. Repeat toggling between Apps and typing in the characters until the entry of the serial number is complete. JAWS 2019 and above has a nice feature where a phonetic representation of the letter under the cursor is spoken if you pause cursor movement for 5 seconds and this also helps at these times when you’re entering strings of characters one at a time and you wish to be sure you’re entering the right character.
