Did you log on to celemony.com, and removed the old one?

within a few hours a celemony rep got back to me. Yet to try, but expecting good news.

Did you try generating a new serial number through the "Melodyne Essential Serial Number Fixer" at the Cakewalk site?  That's all it took for me.

Celemony chap (Uff) answered 2 emails within a few hours. Suggested to delete the Cakewalk one and sent me a personal link for a new one. Nice.

Glad you got it figured out
All the best.

When you bought X3 you got a licence to Melodyne Essential and had a serial number allocated.

As your version of Platinum is an upgrade you don't get an additional licence of Melodyne. So you only ever did have one licence and one serial number.

Of course that's the case with 3rd party programs and plugins that are included with various versions of Sonar. If you had purchased a full version (non upgrade) of Sonar each time you would have received a licence each time for Melodyne.


I've just included this for information of those who may come after and read this thread.

thank you mudgel. Curious what I and others did wrong that you did right when installing Platinum--if there is something others could look out for.

Thanks.
