DVDA 6.0 - download n/a for legitimate user?

Christian de Godzinsky wrote on 12/30/2012, 4:35 PM
In "My account / My software" all previous versions of Vegas from version 6, as well as all versions of DVDA from version 3 - are repeatedly down-loadable.

However, the latest DVDA 6.0 download is greyed out, meaning I cannot download the software via "My Software". I was able to download it only once (via an email delivered download site) after the "special" offer to us DVDA 5.2 owners - we were entitled to upgrade to DVDA 6.0 for free.

This same link says I am not entitled (download "not available") to download DVDA 6.0 a second time, since I have already downloaded it. According to SCS EULA I should be entitled to install on two machines if not using them simultaneously...but as it is I cannot download the SW a second time that I am entitled to... All other versions I can gladly download as many times as I like...

Can someone check if this is true for others in the same situation? Can someone explain what this means? I know that SCS probably will charge separately in the future for DVDA upgrades - now when this software is removed from the bundle, and VP is available also without it.

Cheers,

Christian

Can't you go to DOWNLOADS>UPDATES and download it?

As long as you kept your number, you should able to install it.

Christian,
I went back to the original email I received and am able to download it again.
Just like you found, cannot download via "My Software".

If you've already downloaded it once, why do you need to download a second time? I regularly install most of the SCS titles on 3 or 4 PCs, but i only download once to my main desktop workstation and put it in a shared directory. All the other PCs simply copy it from that directory.

If your computers aren't networked, there's always a USB memory key or other similar option.

If you notice the header on the top it says "Free Updates",(such as 6a, 6b), and since this is DVDA 6.0 there isn't any updates as of yet, so that is why you cannot download it from My Software. However you should have a serial number in My Software if it has been installed previously, then download DVDA 6.0 from the software downloads page and use the serial number and everything should be good.
