Can you use prior plugins with latest Vegas?

I have the latest Vegas 23 Suite. However, it doesn't come with the Boris Continuum, or Particle Illusion, or the Vegas Special Effects, and the list goes on, with prior plugins. etc. This is a new build, so I don't have my prior releases on this machine (and I believe that a lot of the prior releases would have them in a shared directory).

Questions: Can I install some of the older plugins to get those features back again and will they work in Vegas? Is there a list or prior release plugs that were not used in subsequent but that would be great to have? I have used Vegas since 1.0 release--so I have a lot of "priors."

Generally, yes. Any OFx that aren't version locked should work.

The render engine changed so plugins using that (Voukoder, etc.) needed to be updated.
