If anyone has been thinking about purchasing any BorisFX products - or renewing their upgrade and support plan - now might be a good time to do so because BorisFX have just begun a sale that will go until 29 April - BorisFX Sale
• 50% off product bundles – new perpetual licenses (node-locked only).
• 25% off everything else – includes the Boris FX Suite, new Bundle subscriptions & upgrades, individual products, units, and more (node-locked only).
• Sale is limited to one new product purchase per customer.
• Monthly subscriptions are discounted for the first month only. Renews at list price.
For those with existing Continuum Units already installed (i.e. not the entire BCC Suite) and want to get another Unit, please be aware that all BCC Units installed on the same computer must all be from the same version of BCC. For example, if you've got a BCC Unit that came as a bonus extra with Vegas Pro and is version 2021.5 or earlier, a new BCC Unit purchased today from BorisFX today will be version 2022 and thus will override the licence for the 2021.5 version rending it unusable. This from a BorisFX staff member a couple of years ago about the issue: https://forum.borisfx.com/t/sony-vegas-17-some-effects-will-not-appear/7544/11
Different versions of Vegas have come with different subsets of Continuum and Sapphire over the years, but Continuum and Sapphire are also moving forward with their major versions each year. The problem is that you can’t have different major versions of Sapphire or of Continuum installed at the same time in the same host. So for example you can’t have Sapphire 2019 or Continuum 2019 for one unit installed at the same time as Sapphire 2020 or Continuum 2020 of another unit. The licenses from older versions bundled with Vegas don’t work with the newer builds and require upgrades to be present at the same time. If you do want to maintain the older bundled units along with newer bundled units of Continuum or Sapphire please contact our Sales team to discuss options: https://borisfx.com/store/contact-us/
