Please note that download links for VEGAS Movie Studio can be found in a separate post.
There are a number of places where VEGAS Pro and other VEGAS software can be downloaded.
1. TRIAL VERSIONS
You can download a 30-day free trial of the current versions of VEGAS software from https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/trial-versions/
- Direct links to trial version:
2. VEGAS SERVICE CENTER (and manual product registration)
- Visit the VEGAS Service Center
- Login if necessary
- Click "My products" (If you don't
- see it, see next bullet point)
- Missing products can be added by returning to the previous page and clicking "Product registration". When registering, if your product is an old Sony version of VEGAS Pro, you can enter "Sony Creative Software" as the place of purchase unless bought from a 3rd-party retailer.
The "download managers" are small (typically approx. 4MB). When run, they will fetch a much larger (e.g. 400-450MB), main installer for the current release, along with other bundled plugins and apps that are listed in section 7 below.
3. MAGIX SERVICE CENTER
Your software can also be downloaded from the MAGIX Service Center. The procedure is exactly the same as for the VEGAS Service Center. Your VEGAS applications should appear in both sites.
4. MAGIX DOWNLOAD CENTER
Your software can also be downloaded by entering your serial number(s) at the MAGIX Download Center.
5. IN-APPLICATION UPDATES
Later versions of VEGAS Pro (version 15 update 8 and later) prompt automatically when a new update is available, and the update can be downloaded from within the application.
You can also check manually via the Help menu > Check for Software Updates...
6. CHINESE VERSIONS
The latest simplified Chinese versions of VEGAS applications can be downloaded from http://www.vegaschina.cn/download.html
7. DIRECT LINKS (including earlier patch releases)
You can install any release directly from the "larger" (~400MB+) direct installer if you have it (rather than the download manager), and links to those are sometimes included in the new update posts in the NEWS forum. Individual patch releases are not currently listed on vegascreativesoftware.com, but these comments contain direct links from MAGIX or their partners' servers:

After installing via a download manager, the larger installers may also be left behind after installation on your system in a folder such as Documents\MAGIX Downloads\Installationsmanager.
To roll back to a previous update you would usually have to uninstall VEGAS Pro first.
