A place for 365 Subscribers to retrieve photos and video from their mobile phones to Vegas Pro.

Yes, I have, but I have also a Vegas Pro license.
With that one and the installed normal Vegas Pro 19 I see and have the Hub options, how is that possible?

@j-v , to be clear, the VEGAS Hub and Hub Explorer windows are available to all users, as you have discovered. Certain functions/features within those windows are not available to perpetual users. For example, perpetual users will not be able to download the VEGAS Content from the VEGAS Hub window and cloud-based functionality in the Hub Explorer window will not be available with the perpetual lisence.
But we do intend to add content to the VEGAS Hub window (such as tutorials) and functionality added to the VEGAS Hub Explorer in the future which will be available to all users.
Note that I did note make any specific promises here--just sharing our intentions (I'm sorry to have to qualify that, but perceived "promises" soon turn into angry rants across various social channels...)

@gary-rebholz thanks for that confirmation, I cannot wait to see there your excellent tutorials to point our users to.😃

Gary, I just purchased the perpetual license for Vegas Edit 19 (naming conventions of including "Pro" or not is confusing), and I am able to access and log into the HUB, but the android app states "Restricted Access". So my license allows me to log in but not actually use the user cloud access of media? This is not at all clear from the website marketing or within Vegas or the android app.

Cloud access of media requires VEGAS 365 subscription.

Where did you see or find that it is not available for Vegas Pro users?
Strange! In my case I do not see any content! Here is what I see:
@True-H
In order to draw any conclusions from your comment, you would have to tell us which version and build you have installed........

Then it won't show you online "Vegas content" as that requires a subscription.

I must say I do find this strange.
I have purchased every single version of Vegas since No. 3, always within a week of the emergence of a new version.
I have often not needed the new features in a new release, but on principle I have always thought so much of this software that I wanted to support its future. (There have been a few times when rumours of its possible demise were around).
Now my loyalty is recognised by preventing me from accessing content from the Vegas Hub, because it has only been made available to those who pay for a year's subscription at a time.
Has there ever been a published rationale as to why traditional owners have been disadvantaged this way?

@PeterWright Magix rents services from other providers (MicroSoft, Storyblocks, etc.), and Magix pays monthly fees for these service, so Vegas 365 customers will have to pay monthly fees, too. It is impossible for users to pay once for these services which require monthly fees.

+1 for @lan-mLMC 's comment.
... why traditional owners have been disadvantaged this way?
I think that Vegas has respected traditional owners in another important way by maintaining the perpetual licence purchase option, something some other NLE companies haven't done by adopting the subscription model as the only avenue of accessing current releases.
With a Vegas perpetual purchase, you can keep using that version for years and years. On the flip side, a Vegas 365 subscription provides access to Vegas Pro (and Hub content) only while subscription payments are current. If the subscription payment stops, so does access to Vegas Pro.
Each acquisition model has its advantages and disadvantages, and Vegas Pro 19's comparison webpage outlines what comes with each version as well as what is exclusive to the subscription version: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/product-comparison/#productMenu
