Is it possible something else in the bundle might have seen it wasn't installed and included the install of Vegas Pro?

Is it possible something else in the bundle might have seen it wasn't installed and included the install of Vegas Pro?

Highly unlikely, though I can't check what other programs came with the H-B bundle because the bundle no longer appears on H'B's website. But from elsewhere on the forum, I see that Sound Forge Pro 17 came with the bundle - installing the Sound Forge audio program would not also install Vegas Pro. Perhaps there was a global installer that came with the bundle and that installer installed everything that needed installing. Another possibility, perhaps the trial version of Vegas Pro 22 was already installed on the computer. If so, opening the VP22 trial version will result in a trial version welcome screen appearing where the full serial number from the H-B purchase can be entered (assuming that H-B provides a VP22 serial number rather than a voucher or coupon code).
