Install to new computer

Dear Magix Support Team -

 

In Oct. 2023 I purchased Vegas 21 Pro.

The Vegas program is A OK, no problems. BUT the computer is starting to have issues.

I want to install the Vegas 21 Pro on a different/new computer.

How do I do that? How do I start/begin installing with the new computer?

Also, I am now in Thailand - does that make a difference? Original purchase was made in the USA.

Thank you.................................louis

Please note that this forum is a user-to-user forum - it's not MAGIX/VEGAS Support

From the FAQ thread re your question:

9. How many computers can I use VEGAS Pro on?
You can use VEGAS Pro (14.0 and later, perpetual and SmartScription licenses) 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.

To install Vegas Pro on another computer, simply run the installer on your new computer to commence the installation process. The installer can be found under the My Products lisitng in your MAGIX My Account.

Or if you have the .exe file for Vegas Pro, simply run the .exe file on your new computer.

In either case, there will be a new activation process so you will need to have Vegas Pro's serial number handy because that will need to be coded when activating for the first time on a new or another computer.

Dear Dexcon - Thank you for this information. I was unaware that Vegas Pro 365 was limited to 1-device at a time.

Also, thank you for the installation process to a new computer....................cheers....louis
