Hi Annabelle,
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I understand the
process.
Your system generates a computer number, a unique Number identifying
your system. Then Sibelius server generates an unique number (I believe
registration number in Sibelius 5) against the given computer number.
Computer number often changes when you upgrade your system or reinstall
Windows.
You need both numbers in order to register your computer. Computer
number starts with c, and registration number starts with r.
Having said that, computer number has nothing to do with not being able
to register.
For some reason, automatic online registration has stopped working for
Sibelius 5 a while ago. You have to use manual method.
In newer Sibelius, I believe the related terms are machine id,
activation code, and activate instead of computer number, regiration
number, and register.
Hope that helps,
Chi

I'm confused on that one as well. This happened when I tried to register
Sibelius 6 on my machine recently, which I've done before, but unfortunately
this year I had to restore my machine to factory defaults for what seems
like the fourth or fifth time. I wonder if the Computer Number refers to a
locking code. Every time I tried to register, something tells me there's
something wrong with my Internet connection, which is not true since it
works fine.

HI Kevin,
machine ID is for later Sibelius.
For Sibelius 5, it is called *Computer Number.*

I don't remember exact wording, but there should be an option to
activate through phone or offline.
Then it'll ask your name, address, and so on.
Toward the end, there's a read only field with number that starts
with c. That's your computer code.
Hope that helps.

Hello Chi,
Thank you. I thought there was something wrong with my copy. I'm
using Windows 7 on this machine. I'm trying to get everything sorted
before switching the Internet off on this computer. Sorry if this
sounds like a silly question but what do you mean by my computer
code? What is it and where on the computer do I find it?
Very best wishes,
Sandra.

Hi Sandra,
Unfortunately online activation stopped working on Sibelius 5 for a
Sibelius.You'll probably have to call Avid and give your serial number and
computer code to obtain activation code.
However, You mentioned that you have a fairly new computer.
Sibelius only works on Windows 7 or earlier. If your computer has
newer Windows, I would definitely sort that out first before activating

Thank you. I installed, put my serial number in and tried to
register it but it said it had trouble contacting Sibelius. I
found my back-up copy from 2012. Is that the prob?
Very best wishes,
Sandra.

Hi Sandra,
Download from the following link:
http://cdn.avid.com/Sibelius/5.2.5/Sibelius525English.exe
Don't forget the portaudio_x86.dll file. It is at
http://www.sibelius.com/download/software/win/portaudio_x86.zip
Note that the EXE file is not accessible, so it would be best to
extract it using a programme like 7-Zip. Afterwards you'll be
able to navigate through the folders and launch the accessible
Sibelius installer, Sibelius Essentials Sounds and so on.
HTH,
Alex

I have a farily new computer and, before I switch the Internet
off, I've been going over old emails to try and find the link to
get
Sibelius5/6 software itself. Years ago, when I downgraded to 5,
I had to buy the then new 7 and supply proof of purchase. I
still have it so probably have the serial number but is there
still a link toget the old programming? I know there is no
accessibility team anymore but just wondered where to look.
Very best wishes,
Sandra.
