There is an option to just purchase. The subscription will quit working when you quit paying. But, yes, you "can just buy this outright" - change the option where it says "Annual Subscription" - that's actually a drop-down box (there's a tiny arrow beside it) so change the option to "New License" instead.

Oddly enough, the subscription/new purchase drop-down menu option has disappeared from the Edit version:

And upgrade has gone as well.

VP 19 perpetual license (one-time purchase) owners will be able to download for free all updates/new builds of version 19 and to use that version indefinitely.

@Dexcon what is the URL of the site where you found this?

Seems different here https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-edit/

@vkmast  ... it is https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-edit/ - the same URL.

EDIT: Now that is weird - with the link I just uploaded and going to the purchase option for VP Edit, the purchase options do appear - but still no upgrade option.

But going back to VP's website and selecting the Edit version, it is still the same as shown before. Gremlins at work methinks.

@Dexcon

In the latest update of Price Watch I just gave a link to more advice, which include this:

Choose your payment plan (purchase option) by clicking the small blue arrow in the Online Shop. There are four (4) options in the opening dropdown menu. To Upgrade click a separate blue box. Be sure to click and read "Information regarding the upgrade".

 

Dexcon wrote on 5/20/2022, 8:37 AM

But going by https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/sem/vegas-edit/ ... all purchase/subscription options are there.

And upgrade option as well.

I tested https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-edit/ on two devices and with Chrome and Edge on both, no options were missing. (The /sem/ version is for the "Search Engine Marketing" and I found it through Google some time ago as well.)

Your experience is somewhat alarming.

Following a recent theread in this forum which clarified that Vegas Edit, Vegas Pro, and Vegas Post all include the full-on Vegas Pro 19 I decided to upgrade from 18 to 19.  I only required the Edit version as I don't have a use for the 2nd and 3rd options. I also wanted to continue with my perpectual license so I went from the "middle" option which I've had in effect from Vegas 9 to "Edit".

What was weird was that in the space of a few minutes I was getting three substantially different prices for upgrading to perpectual Edit. I paid for the lowest priced one at £59.99 including UK tax, half expecting it to fall through as the highest was close to £100.

I didn't keep all these links but Dexcon's experience reminds me of my own. Very strange.

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/gb/upgrades-for-vegas-pro-and-vegas-movie-studio/ and https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/gb/vegas-edit/

(both gb URLs) cite £59.99 as the current VEGAS Edit upgrade offer price.

Were the offers you saw all from the gb (UK) URLs?

I didn't keep the details, sorry. Usually for something like that I keep a full copy of web pages in PDF format using the Chrome extension called GoFullPage just in case a seller tries to decline a completed purchase but I didn't do it on this occasion. Just assumed £59.99 was an extra-special time limited offer which I think was about to expire when I bought it late evening on 5th May.

vkmast wrote on 5/20/2022, 5:40 PM

The Price Watch thread shows only $/USD prices, but the VEGAS Edit £/GBP upgrade price was likely £94.99 until around May 3 and after that the current £59.99, now until May 31.
