Hi, so im facing the following problem: I purchased the SmartScription back then, and cancelled it about a month ago, because i dont really use Vegas anymore. It now ends in 2027. Turns out i do need Vegas again so i reinstalled it, but now when i try to activate it says my licence has expired. When i try to create a new activation code online, it just says "Cant be activated, please try again later". I dont really know what to do...

Contact Magix I'm afraid or maybe buy new.

Email sales and ask for the perpetual license you are entitled to at the end of SmartScription.

Yeah i guess i have no other way.. I have created a Ticket on wednesday but from what i read online, it will take ages for that to be processed..guess i can only wait and otherwise do what you said.

From what I've seen in other threads and from my own current experience, support is very, very slow as of late. I submitted a support ticket about 10 days ago (says to expect 2-4 days for a response) but have not heard back... I saw in another thread a person that had waited over 20 days for a response last month. I hope you get your issue solved.
