Don't understand what Magix doing re:VP14

BruceUSA wrote on 9/22/2016, 1:15 PM

I base this on the old SONY Vegas. When SONY announced and released a new version of Vegas. They immediately offered existing Vegas users an upgrade price right away. So that exist users can take advantage of the offer and buy the software. Magix seems to be totally the opposite. They don't says much what is happening, rather let all the people out there keep guessing.

My question to Magix. Whats the HOLD up? please offer users upgrade price and release activation code to those whom purchased the $199 offer for VP13+14 right away. I see no reason not doing so right away. Any one else has opinons about this?

Last summer offers need not be any scams. This is about those Vegas Pro 13 users, who were discouraged to take up the offer or did not get it at all.

I'm sure you all will receive what you have purchased. They just have not got their processes organized well enough yet, sadly.

I would not call it a scam but rather disappointed

Not all called it a scam.

Please let us know if the VP14 serial number you are receiving includes everything that's in the Pro version and not in the Edit version (i.e. DVE Architect, NewBlueFX Looks, Nativ + NewBlueFX Titler Pro Express, Native + proDAD Mercalli V4).

OK so Quitter's screenshot confirms it really is Pro and not just Edit.

Yes, sending mass mails usually happens in smaller junks and time intervalls. It is unlikely you all would get the mail at the same time.

Unfortunately not.

The installer seems to download everything - and installs everything.

Only aftter the installation you have to give in the serial numbers (for DVDA or Mercalli). If you do not have serials the versions can be installted but will run as test versions only.

fortunately yes!

It is the Pro Version, every (Full)Version has it's own installer
The installer download exe is different for every version
sure you need the serial number also 😉

Confirmed. Received mine serial# VP14 with all bundled softwares.

PS. Download link is only for VP14.. NO download link for all other bundles. whats up with this?

PSS. Never mind. I uninstall the VP14 trial version and install the purchase version. The VP14 setup including all bundle sofwares. I can just click the check mark on it to have them ALL be installed.

My point is: the installer downloads every software, regardless if you have the serials for every software or not. This is not checked before the download starts.

The downloader can be accessed by my profile too (for that you have to enter a serial for Vegas). But I do not have the impression that there are different downloaders for Edit, Pro or the Suite.

So if you have downloaded the software and decided to install everything but have no serial, then the other parts of the bundle will run in the demo mode (for example DVDA 7 or Mercalli).

false
if this would be true, where are the downloaders for Boris FX 3D Objects Unit ,NewBlueFX Titler Pro 3 ,Boris FX Key and Blend Unit and Boris FX Match Move Unit?
You get they only with the downloader for the suite

again true

any one else here having any problems install Newblu FX titler Pro? I got everything installed fine, except NewbluFX failed to complete, giving me some eror, I don't remember. Maybe, I will need to clean out any newbluFX in the registry and reinstall again. I will update this as I get around to it.

Otherwise we would exclude other people from the discussion, and this is not our intention, isnt it?
