Did you have any issues opening/running it? My issue was that I only had the CDA 5 serial number that came with my original purchase and though I updated years ago, I didn't get a new (required) serial, till Magix sent me one.

Nope, no issues with installing it or opening it as my Serial began with B6. As I said, when I registered the Serial number with Magix, and they gave me the option do download the software and download the manual. I was so shocked that they offered me the download files. I purchased Sound Forge 8 back in 2005 and CD Architect 5.2(a) was bundled with it.
I tested the software and it worked just as it did when I purchased it initially many years ago. I purchased CD Architect 5.2(a) and Sony Sound forge 8 at the same time, but now, there is no reason for my to attempt to install Sound forge 8.
I went into the software this morning, looked under the Help tab and selected the updates link. It took me back to the Magix page where I selected downloads. I entered the Serial number I had for CD Architect 5.2(a) and I was presented with a download optiom for CD Architect 5.2 (ii). This downloadable file happened to be version 5.2(d) (Build 240) and it came with a new serial number, however, I didn't need to enter the serial number as I just installed the update over top of the version previously installed. I guess if I uninstall the software and performed a new install with version(d), I would have needed the new serial number given along with the download.
I am not sure of the difference between Version (A) and (D), however, I am great to have it, as version (d) is the latest version of the software.
Thanks for starting this post pentimentosound and I am glad you were able to resolve your problem as well.
