Can Vegas 20 open a 365 file?

Is Vegas 20 really 365, just limited to a year upgrade, or are they distinct programs? For example, if I get Vegas 365 for a month and then get Vegas 20, perpetual license, can I open that same project I previously worked on with 365?

Lots of information about the subscription service here. This FAQ may be relevant:

Can I continue to use my installed software after my subscription ends?

After a subscription ends, you will not be able to continue using the software. You can of course buy the latest version at any time in the form of a perpetual license. However, this means you will not be able to avail of more recently released features or other benefits offered by the subscription model.

In a nutshell - same software, different licensing choice.

@Dexcon Sure, thanks. But it always helps to ask in case of a hidden 'gotcha!' not covered in FAQ's 😉

It's exactly the same editing software.

@Former user, as I just answered in your other post... All versions of VEGAS are exactly the some. And all can edit the same genres. The only difference between the versions is what else is included with VEGAS.

In other words, VEGAS 20 is VEGAS 20 no matter what. Different licenses include different add-ons.

@jetdv One still has to be mindful of version conflicts. I did not want to work on a file in Vegas 365 and then find out that Vegas 20 cannot open the same file. There is no harm in asking and @RogerS already provided an answer, thanks.
