Hi, I'm trying to find out how to set up my second computer with VEGAS PRO 19. I have a desktop that I use at home and my laptop when I'm at work for editing and I'm trying to have Vegas installed on both computers. How do I active both?
From the main FAQs, point 9. "How many computers can I use VEGAS Pro on?
You can use VEGAS Pro (14.0 and later) simultaneously on 2 devices. VEGAS Pro 365 can be used on 1 device at a time.
To deactivate a device, so you can activate a different one, visit your MAGIX account > My Products > Show More Details > Deactivate. This option can be used only once a month.
In VEGAS Pro 14.0 or later, you can also choose Deactivate the Software on this PC from the Help menu This option can be used as often as you wish. An internet connection is required."
So if you have a perpetual (one-time purchase) license (not a 365 subscription), just install and activate the software on your desktop and your laptop.
This is an important issue for me so I felt like jumping in here. I'm no power user and honestly use Vegas for my own personal family use. Knowing enough about NLE software, I absolutely love Vegas Pro. I really wish Magix could operate a licensing similar to Adobe which would prevent multiple users at one time but enable me to easily use the software as Angie-Wright suggested in different places. I hated the activate and deactivate with limitations. Adobe makes the process so much more feasible. Long live Vegas...I will support you where I can, you possess excellence in programming, but my Premiere is so much more easy to activate. 😩
