Can Ultra still be bought and activated?
by Charles Smith on Sep 21, 2009 at 6:33:55 pm

Friend at an in-house A/V dept asked me if I knew anything about Serious Magic as far as buying existing copy and activating it.
Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks,

Chaz

P.S. Wasn't there a Serious Magic Lite version called "Vlog It"?
Is this still available? Any other similar software out there that was/is as easy to use as Ultra and/or Vlog It?

Thanks again,

Chaz

Hi Charles,

All of Serious Magic's product line was absorbed by Adobe.

There may be a way to activate a second-hand version of Ultra, but then I don't have any idea if it would even run properly under any modern OS's...

Hi Tim:

Thanks for your response. I did some checking and Adobe still offers the Vlog It version of Communicator for sale but I've found many complaints online that getting a registration key from Adobe is difficult ( not impossible but very difficult ). Others who still use the Serious Magic Communicator have kept it on XP computers just for the application.

From what little I've read there seems to be no replacement in sight as far as the Adobe line is concerned.

Anyway, thanks for your response.

Chaz

I think Adobe was jealous of how good Ultra works and thats why they bought it and discontinued it. Booo! Ever hear of Torrent??

Yes. Adobe has made available a Serious Magic Activation Tool for activating former Serious Magic branded releases. It can be obtained at: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4246

Have Fun,
