I have not bought WavePad Masters Edition yet, but had the same question. I got an email reply within 24 hours. This was the answer:
-------------------------------------------------
Hi,
When you register your software you will receive a code unique to you
and that particular software application, the browser will display
these registration and activation codes, and an email containing the
registration and activation codes is automatically sent to you, we
both advise you to print out a copy of the code immediately from the
browser and keep that hard copy in a safe place and to also keep a
copy of the e-mail you recieve .
After reinstalling the software following a computer crash or hard
drive failure, the licence registration and activation code must be
re- entered into the software's registration window.
Please send us the full code details (Name - Location - ID - Key) for
each of your licences and we will generate new Keys to be used with the codes.
So as long as you have a copy of your original details to send to us
we will be able to generate a new key to be use with your ID.
Regards,

Please include any previous correspondence history as then, no thread
of communication is lost.

So I guess you'll have to write them an email again and hope that they will answer this time. Maybe it helps if you write that you "consider to buy" other products to .
