I want to purchase Vegas movie studio pro 17 for my laptop, but I will be upgrading in a few months. Question is can I transfer Vegas movie studio license from old laptop to new one?
Yes.
From the main FAQs: "9. How many computers can I use VEGAS Pro on?
You can use VEGAS Pro (14.0 and later) simultaneously on 2 devices. There are 2 ways to deactivate a device so you can activate a different one:
Visit your MAGIX account > My Products > Show More Details > Deactivate. This option can be used only once a month.
From the VEGAS Pro Help menu choose Deactivate the Software on this PC. This option can be used as often as you wish. An internet connection is required."
This applies to VEGAS Movie Studio versions as well. (Please note that there is no VMS Pro. You probably meant Platinum.)
